Here is another book byte from Wild Goose Chase.
When we turn Christianity into a noun, it becomes a turnoff. Christianity was always intended to be a verb. And, more specifically, an action verb. Some of us live as if we expect to hear God say, "Well thought, good and faithful servant!" or "Well said, good and faithful servant!" God isn't going to say either of those things. There is only one commendation: "Well done, good and faithful servant."

That Will PREACH... thanks for the Word!
I'm reading the book now to review it on my blog and just this morning I highlighted that exact passage. Really profound. That really spoke to me this morning.
Good intentions are a step in the right direction, but as you say, we will be rewarded for our actions, not our intentions. We weren't called to think about it, but rather do...Thanks for the word!!
brings back the hip-hop old school sounds of DC Talk's: "Love is a Verb"!!
I can't wait for my book to arrive. The snippets you have been posting have really been speaking to me. A lot of what you are saying are the things our son has been revealing to his dad & I.
Wow! That's good stuff.
Can't wait to read this book.
Thanks for your ministry, Mark!
