Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola have something profound to say in their new book “Jesus Manifesto.” Sweet and Viola point out that Christians have fallen far away from the basis of our relationship with the Lord. Christians have begun to care so much about part of their faith, rather than the main reason for faith.
The book goes like this, “What does Jesus want from us? Leadership? Or love? Unfortunately, we cannot properly love Him if we haven’t caught sight of how incredibly glorious He is. But once we do – once we catch a sighting of Jesus Christ in all His glory – we will gladly exchange out dusty rites, Christian-speak, and pop culture church-building tactics for the joy of becoming a walking breathing ‘Jesus Manifesto’.”Amazing words and wisdom are found in Jesus Manifesto. Faith is not singing, sermons or even trying to be like Christ, it is fully being consumed with our crucified, risen and reigning Lord. “He (Jesus) will ooze out of every pore.”
I totally encourage everyone to read this book. It brings you back to the heart of worship and reminds you why we choose to follow the risen Lord.

oh missie, this sounds fascinating! i can't help but think of the song by delirious, coming back to the heart of worship. it truly is all about Him, all we say, all we do, all we think is supposed to be based on our love for Him...which pales in comparison to His amazing love for us!
