Be the Bible.
The people in the Bible (most of them) are people who beg to be imitated in some way. In the Loft we are talking about Paul; Paul the scarred, Paul the courageous, Paul the champion for Jesus Christ. As I read Phillipians I think of the constant challenge Paul faced to preach Christ in new towns and encourage others that they could follow Christ as well - and the miraculous event is that they did. After Paul left - churches carried on, and they did so because they commited to not just know Jesus but to be Jesus.
Are you this person who is trapped in the bleachers practicing some version of spectator Christianity. Read Phillipians, and make the decision to be Paul, to be like Christ and then watch with joy as what you know becomes who you are.
Just a talkin' head,
Andy
