The Passions That Should Define a Christ Follower

I copied this list out of the book Unchristian and just found it in some notes: - Worshiping God intimately & passionately. - Engaging in spiritual friendships with other believers. - Pursuing faith in the context of family. - Embracing intentional forms of spiritual growth. - Serving others. - Investing time & resources in spiritual pursuits. - Having faith based conversations with outsiders. How does reading that make you feel? I did a yep, uh huh, okay, oh oh, shoot... Some yes, and some are a little lacking. Unchristian was a great book; if you think Christians are a bunch of hypocrites, I'm sorry. The list above? That's what we're supposed to be like. I doubt many people would be able to say that all seven of those characterize them, but the thing is, a lot of us are working on it. *note - I just posted the above on my own blog, but thought I'd add it here for you, too.
