Download The Insanity of Obedience: Walking with Jesus in Tough Places AudioBook Free
All Christian disciples have one thing in common: Because they take the Gospel over the ocean and next door, persecution can be the norm for individuals who choose to check out Jesus. How believers react when confronted with persecution unveils everything about their degree of faith and compliance. The Insanity of Behavior is a vibrant problem to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the threat of safe Christianity and calls listeners to something higher. The Insanity of Behavior problems Christians in the same provocative way that Jesus did. This publication dares you - and prepares you - to cross the street and the oceans with the good news of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus' instructions sound unpleasant and are potentially dangerous. We might be initially inspired by his declaration, "I am mailing you out." But how are we to react when then tells us that he's mailing us out "like sheep among wolves"? In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern-day believers rest easily in the status quo? How do we embrace casual faith in light of the radical orders of Jesus, which can be anything but casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the very most persecuted regions of the globe to tolerate on our understanding of faith in Jesus. The Insanity of Behavior is a call to roll-up your sleeves...also to follow and partner with Jesus in the toughest places upon this planet. "We've the high privilege of answering Jesus' call to visit," Ripken says. "But let us be clear concerning this: We continue his conditions, not ours. If we go by any means, we go as sheep among wolves." Jesus provides us himself. And he provides us the tools necessary for individuals who dare to trip with him.
