from an article written by Jon Acuff (see link below)…”Before I was a Christian, trying to fix myself and numb the things that hurt was exhausting. Now that I’m a Christian, trying to make life work on my own is just as tiring…I don’t want to be in charge of my growth, with effort-based faith that hollows me out and leaves me shiny on the outside and empty in the middle. I want Christ to be i…n charge of my growth. A Christ that didn’t say to the disciples, “Come and you will learn how to be fishers of men.” A Christ who said, “Come and I will make you fishers of men.” If you and I believed for a second that the same power that raised Christ from the dead was in us, can you fathom how different that day would be?”
