For years I lived as a nominal Christian – a Christian in name only. I believed the right things, but I didn’t love the right things.
True Christians love God, God’s word, and God’s people, or at least they have begun to. Nominal Christians don’t. Sure enough I had little to no interest, in my nominal days, in God’s people or God’s book (knowing it or obeying it). In fact, I was a little embarrassed to be seen with either.
Anyone watching could tell my life was changing when I became interested in both. An older man named Dan asked me if I was interested in studying Isaiah with him, and… I wanted to. Meanwhile, I found myself struggling to concentrate at work because my attention kept drifting off to friends at church… maybe Jim or Eric would be encouraged by an email right now?
