You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.

Thoughts are the place where we can and must begin to change. There the light of God first begins to move upon us through the word of Christ, and there the divine Spirit begins to direct our will to God and his way.

What you present as the gospel will determine what you present as discipleship.
