My name is Keith Giles. I love to write so that people can know Jesus and experience His life in their own.
So, I started this blog to help people understand who Jesus is, and how He reveals what the Father is really like.
This is a safe place to talk about all those questions you've had about the Bible, and Christianity. It's also a place to learn how to put the words of Jesus into practice.

JESUS: ROLE MODEL?
Presenting a much-needed kick in the butt from Francis Chan.
He got me wrong at the start. I don't "really really really really really like Jesus". Does anyone have that many reallys? I mean really?
I'm not thankful that Jesus was spit on and abused.
Oh. wait--I see that he is speaking to a different crowd than the one of which I am a part.
My experience is that chiding people doesn't tend to accomplish much.
I wish I could have preached. I would have turned it into a question/answer dialogue thing, which is a lot more fun and interesting. Asking real questions is fun. Now that I said that, I see I haven't asked a single question in this comment.

Why did you post this video?
I posted it because it spoke to me and reminded me of my calling to follow Christ with my actual life.
The verse in 1 John is my life verse and it was God's reminder to me of my mission to die to myself and take up my cross and follow Jesus.
I stand corrected. It sounds like his chiding worked for you. Or did you not experience it as chiding?
Thank you for answering my question =).
