Reordering

“I think our language is all wrong.”

This is a quote I recently heard from a non-Nazarene pastor friend from an Evangelical tradition. He went on to say, “We like to use the language of ‘accepting Christ into our lives,’ and we mean well, but this is not the biblical emphasis. The Bible does not talk about fitting Christ into some corner of our lives. Instead, we are called to completely reorder our lives around Jesus and His ways.”
