“Follow Me.”

Two of the most powerful and life-changing words to come from Jesus. Those who would accept this invitation would be known as His disciples. Today, Christians still place a lot of emphasis on the importance of becoming a disciple. But what is a disciple? What does a disciple do? What does discipleship look like in real life? Too often, the answers to these questions are assumed to be understood. As a result, although we make the choice to be a disciple, whether recently or years ago, we may not have a clue about what we are supposed to be doing. It doesn’t have to be this way. God’s Word is very clear and open about discipleship. Maybe you need to start with the basics—Discipleship 101. Perhaps you would like a refresher course. In this book, using Jesus’ teachings and stories from the Bible, Pastor Bill leads you to a better understanding of what it means to be a disciple and how you can live as a follower of Jesus.

Knock, knock.

“I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot
. . . you are lukewarm” Revelation 3:15, 16

We have the truth, fancy buildings, and elaborate worship services. We have prayer meetings, Bible studies, and community outreach programs. Yet something is still missing. In spite of our religious appearance, many of our churches no longer resemble the church written about in the book of Acts. Many Christians today are not easily distinguishable from the world. We may go through the motions, but our heart isn’t in it. This is what happens when our “Christianity” is neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm. How could God’s people get to this point?

In this book, author and pastor Bill Kasper examines the letter to the church of Laodicea, found in the book of Revelation, to reveal the true source of lukewarm spirituality as well as how we can overcome this predicament and have a renewed passion for God.

Every good work you have done
towards gaining eternal life is worthless.
Your Christian best will never be good enough.

Your reaction towards those statements might mimic those of the Israelites in Jesus’ day. It was the basic idea Jesus was expressing when He said, “unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:20). In that one statement by Jesus, all of their preconceived ideas of God and salvation were put into question. They saw the Pharisees as their models of holiness which few, if any, could ever dream of equaling. If their best wasn’t good enough, who can be saved? Why even try? Of course, what if Jesus wanted us to quit trying? What if Jesus has something better in mind for us?

In this book, author and pastor Bill Kasper takes a hard look at the teachings, traditions and lifestyle of the Biblical Pharisees and why they experienced rebuke from Jesus so often. Filled with stories and practical application, this book reveals not only the modern issue of the Pharisaical mentality but also Jesus’ solution.
