WWJD?

Posted on January 17, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 2 Comments

WWJD

I haven’t seen one in a while, but bracelets with the letters WWJD had some popularity at one time. The acronym stands for “what would Jesus do?” and was a reminder to follow Jesus in responding to a particular situation or question. I think that this is a worthy question to ask in any situation.

My problem is not with the theory behind the question, it is with the implementation. The problem lies in really understanding what Jesus would do.

Commission and commands – Priorities for the Church

The Great Commission is the foundational text on which the mission of the church should be based. Or is it? Is there something else that needs to take priority? I think there is.

Yancey’s Three Questions

Yet behind the three questions stands a person who claims to have the explanation and the answer to these questions.
