July 13, 2008: Real and Not So Real – Michael Hidalgo

So often today people talk about praying to see what God wants from them. While sounding ultra pious this can also be a very frustrating thing. It seems obvious what God wants from us. Those that Jesus points to as the ones who claim to have known him are doing many things – but are they really doing what he called them to? They are calling him “Lord” or “Master” yet they are not living in obedience to Jesus. 

So often we claim to follow Jesus – but are we doing what he asks us to do? Are we truly following after him? Jesus seems much more interested in what his people are doing versus if they “look good” to everybody else.
