'It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe in him, if you do not do anything He tells you. If you can think of nothing He has ever said as having an atom of influence on your doing or not doing, you too have good ground to consider yourself no disciple of His.'
-- George MacDonald

Strong words. These hit hard. Are they true? How do they sit? The bottom line for me has always been this -- if you really buy into the Jesus thing, it has to change you. There is no way you can understand the maginitude of what He's done for us and not have it radically reorient you. No way. Wow.

What implications does this have for us, as believers, as parents?
