Home sick from work today and ended up reading Francis Chan's "Crazy Love" in the course of just a few hours. I borrowed the book from my father-in-law because I read a few reviews of it that basically claimed he was preaching "salvation by works" theology and that this was a dangerous book. I needed to read it for myself. The fact that I polished it off in a few hours tells you something. He is NOT preaching about works as a means for salvation, but rather pointing out that a Christ follower who is sold-out in love with God cannot possibly go through their normal week without so-called good works.
GREAT BOOK! But that description means nothing if I now choose to do nothing. But see, the stuff is writes about is exactly what I have been tossing around in my own mind so I don't think the "doing something" part will be too difficult for me. At least, the desiring to do something will be easy. I struggle with turning desire into action. How will this manifest in my life? I don't know yet, but I plan to write about it as I go through this process of changing from a "lukewarm" Christian into a Christian who is defined by love.
