Agendas

Quote from Oswald Chambers: "Jesus did not say to make converts to your way of thinking, but He said to look after His sheep, to see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Him. We consider what we do in the way of Christian work as service, yet Jesus Christ calls service to be what we are to Him, not what we do for Him. Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine."

 I think we are often guilty of substituting causes and doctrine, even political agendas for the real thing, pointing people to the love relationship they can have with Jesus which will transcend and transform anything and everything else in this temporary life on earth.

 Come to think of it, the only agenda the Apostle Paul had was as he stated so clearly in the book of Philippians, "For me to live is Christ!"
