I'm here to blog!
finally :)

just wanna share abt what I read recently from the book: The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges.

Cruise Control Obedience:

"Just like the cruise control that some cars have, you accelerate to your desired speed, push the cruise-control button, and take your foot from the accelerator pedal. then you can ease back and relax a little, no longer have to experience the fatigue that comes with constant foot pressure on the accelerator" --> convenient.

This illustration given by the author is that he wants to illustrate how often we, the follower of Christ, "have arrived at a comfortable level of obedience, we push the" cruise control" button in our hearts, ease back and relax. "

What is a comfortable level of obedience?
"This level is most often determined by the behaviour standard of other Christians around us. We don't want to lag behind them, nor we are eager to forge ahead of them because we won't want to be different."

"We love to blend in with the level of obedience of those aound us."

Do I have the courage NO to blend?
If God wants to lead me further, do i say NO, NO, i'm fine here.

I am reminded once again to be focus, who's the master of my life.
once again, i'm reminded about the passion I ought to have in following Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.
