As disciples of Christ, those who believe are called to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. The key concept in this identity of disciple is student and mimic. A teacher is called to teach, and a student to learn. Moreover, a disciple surrenders his or her understanding for that of the one who teaches. Identification as a disciple infers a believer’s complete commitment to Jesus and his or her total obedience to the master. Jesus is clear to explain the depth of discipleship. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple…. In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26-27; 33). When someone becomes a disciple of Christ, that person takes on the teaching of Jesus. The call becomes to follow Jesus’ instructions and strive to be like Jesus.
[Just Call Me Joe]
I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After Hurricane Katrina I moved back to Mobile, Alabama for nine months, but returned to the Crescent City in June 2006. Two years to the day after that, I left New Orleans for an eleven month stay in Fort Worth, [Republic of] Texas. Now I'm back in Mobile.
I love to travel and I rarely leave home without my Canon EOS 40D. I've been to 35 states, 3 provinces, and a few countries. While living in Fort Worth I realized that being within short driving distance of a large body of salt water is important to me.
Oh, and War Eagle!
