Way

I've just started reading Rob Bell's book Velvet Elvis, and there is a section called "Way". It's all about as Christians, we are all trying to live a certain way. The way that Jesus taught us to live. Bell came up with a few "I am convinced" statements that help him live a life in the way of Christ. It got me thinking, there is so much more to living a life of a Christian than just claiming being a Christian. Obviously, this isn't new thinking. We all know that, but sometimes it's so hard to live that life...in the way. So, I decided to come up with few of my own I'm convinced statements that I am going to strive to live by. Please...feel free to comment and add your own. Think of what could be started, if we all actually LIVED IN THE WAY OF CHRIST. Amazing...

1. I am convinced that God wants us to be happy with who we are, and loving myself is a better way to live.
2. I am convinced that being honest is the best way to be.
3. I am convinced that being nice is a better way to live.
4. I am convinced that seriously praying about all things is a better way to live.
5. I am convinced that forgiveness is something to be given rather than carrying around bitterness and hatred and this is a better way to live.

These may not all be grammatically correct, but hopefully you all get the point. My hope and prayer for this entry is to get you all thinking of how Christ wants us to live. What way are you going to live today?
