God doesn’t want you to become a god; wants you to become godly. The word we use for that is Discipleship =BECOMING LIKE CHRIST. God wants us to develop his character, way He thinks, way He acts, the way He feels, His values, His moral character. God wants to make you like him. Leading assumption in world today is that you can be a true believer with a mere marginal commitment. People who will give God only the leftovers $$ time etc. But their best efforts are going elsewhere. According to The Choice Survey some years back, • 10% of church members cannot be found? • 20% of church members never attend church • 25% admit that they never pray • 35% admit that they do not read their Bibles • 40% admit that they never contribute to the church Tithe or offering • 70% never assume responsibility within the church • 85% never invite anyone to church • 95 % have never won anyone to Christ • BUT! 100% expect to go to heaven Are you becoming like Christ? There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal Relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. How are you growing your relationship with the Lord and His Church? Some persons tend to think they can have a relationship with the Lord but have none with his Church. What do you think? What bracket or percentage of church people do you fall into?
