The Distant Disciple

Peter was a distant disciple.

He followed from afar.

Just a few moments before, he
had declared himself ready to
follow Jesus all the way to
death.

Just hollow words.

Before the break of day, he
found himself denying Jesus
three times.

Don't get too involved Peter,
you might get hurt.

Don't get too loyal Peter,
you might get branded.

Don't get too concerned Peter,
you might get crucified.

We need more people like this.
People who don't muddy the water,
who know how to keep religion in
it's place.

People who reek with mediocrity.
People who know how to keep their
distance.

Distant Disciples.

America has made the transition
from a Christian nation to just
a nation of citizens because of
people like this.

What we need is a place of
repentance like the one Peter
found.

Wake Up, America! Repent before
it is too late!

Peter wept bitterly.

He went from a distant disciple
to a dynamic disciple in one
prayer meeting.

He ignited the early church on
the Day of Pentecost with his
Holy Ghost message and thousands
were baptized.

If it can happen for him it can
happen for anyone.

Won't you wake up today? Won't you
make the transition today?

Hey, just to let you know. Sin
always requires you to give up
more than God does!
