Synopsis

This book is a compilation, by popular demand, of twelve challenging articles which were originally commissioned for Needed Truth magazine (www.neededtruth.net) in 2009.

There are times when every Christian believer feels a sense of dissatisfaction with his or her life of discipleship Those of us who love the Lord and value our Bibles will, from time to time, be motivated to explore again the character of radical discipleship as opposed to pew-filling, sermon-tasting comfortable 'churchianity' which for many can end up as a sort of passive, if not pious, 'spectator sport'.

“The Call of Christ” is ideal for times like that and even a glance at some of the topics explored will remind us what being a disciple of Jesus is really all about:

• Called to serve
• Called to suffer
• Called to die
• Called to simple dependence on God
• Called to be saints
• Called as we are
• Called to community
• Called to obey
• Called to possess God’s hope
• Called to share a heavenly calling


It is always good to finish on a high, and we certainly do that in this book. The high point of our discipleship is our worship experience among God's people. As we journey through the individual contributions which together present us with a biblical kaleidoscope of discipleship, what comes into focus is the fact that the call to Christ is the call to God's community, and that in turn is the call to worship (and what a worship experience it truly is, as described in the final contribution). Such a mind-blowing privilege explains - and renders so worthwhile - the high demands of true biblical discipleship which all the contributions making up this book present us with.

Read, think, act!
