Part of my devotion this morning from Dr. Blackaby...
Discipleship is more than acquiring head knowledge and memorizing Scripture verses. It is learning to give Jesus Christ total access to your life so He will live His life through you. Your greatest difficulty will be believing that your relationship with Christ is at the heart of your Christian life. When others watch you face a crisis, do they see the risen Lord responding? Does your family see the difference Christ makes when you face a need? What difference does the presence of Jesus Christ make in your life?God wants to reveal Himself to those around you by working mightily through you. He wants your family to see Christ in you each day. God wants to express His love through your life. There is a great difference between ""living the Christian life"" and allowing Christ to live His life through you.

Your comment about head knowledge reminds me of a saying I heard at an Emmaus Walk about a year ago. It went something like "The average distance between a person's head and heart is approx. 14 inches. The process of becoming a Christian is when we convert Head Knowledge to Heart Knowledge. Our calling as Christians is to make sure people don't miss Heaven by 14 inches!!"
