Thanks for stopping by. The purpose of this website is to explore what it means to be a fully committed follower of Jesus today. Often following Jesus is presented as an event, rather than a process. Once you have decided to follow Jesus (the event), what are you supposed to do after that (the process)?
I selected choosethecross.com as the domain name because following Jesus is rarely about taking the easy options, pleasing yourself, and being the most popular person in town. As Jesus said, If you want to come after me you will have to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. If you want to save your life you will lose it, but if you lose your life for my sake you will find it. (Matt 16:24-25)
Starting July 2007, I am intending to make posts on the following topics:
Mondays: Past — Lessons from history
Tuesdays: Present — Things in the news
Wednesdays: Future — Where are we headed?
Thursdays: Poverty — Helping those who are most in need
Fridays: Publications — Books worth reading
Saturdays: Faith — What it really means to believe
I will soon be putting up a link to the website for my forthcoming book, The Global Christian Adventure. In the meantime, please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Please note that I will be reviewing comments before accepting them. The rules for acceptable comments are set out on my Policy page.
