love, rightly ordered

So often when thinking of discipleship I think of structures and tasks. Even reminding someone to pray and read their bible can miss the point — which is the heart. The point of discipleship is a heart in love with Jesus.

It’s been popular in recent years among groups where there is some college or seminary training to talk about “worldviews.” The point of training is a Christian worldview. And then we measure a worldview change with beliefs — so conversion becomes all about a belief system. Like bible study and prayer, even a Christian worldview can miss the point.

When Jesus talked about the heart of discipleship, he pointed to conversion — a continual turning of the whole person toward God. He talked of loving God with our whole heart, mind and strength. This interview with James Smith reminds us that God is not known if God is not loved.
