The Lord put on my heart a deep passion for other Christians and me to know the truth about God’s word and how it relates to our lives. I wanted to get the word out about what the Lord put on my heart in a way that would be availa ble to many people. Through discussions in a book club with my wife and a few close friends, I was inspired to share what was in my heart in a book entitled, What Does God Expect and Re quire of Christians?
I believe many Christians have a false understanding of what Christianity is all about and what God expects and requires of them. This could be for several reasons such as the teach ings they received, what they have been exposed to, and what they have seen passed down from generation to generation. If you are a Christian, whether you are new or have been one for a long time, you need to know and understand what God (not man or the church) expects and requires of you.
When we were children there were things said to us that our parents thought were
important for us to know and understand. There were also things that were expected and
required of us, and we probably had to abide by certain guidelines and standards that they thought were important. When we became a Christian, we became a child of God. And just as with our parents, there are things God wants us to know and understand and live by.
The message is in no way about Christians following rules, it’s about our relationship
with God and others, the person that we are to be, and the life that we should live. The book is
written in a way to make it clearer for Christians to understand what the teachings of Jesus and
his apostles and disciples found in the New Testament scriptures. It is my hope and prayer that
this book will educate, inspire, and encourage Christians throughout the world.
