"When Jesus called the first apostles, he didn’t seek their complete and total dedication from day one. He said, 'Come, follow me.' He sought enrollment.
Jesus appealed to them personally. He didn’t have a religious test. He didn’t have a box to check. He simply wanted them to follow him....
A person with arms folded, eyes squinted, and ears closed is not going to be swayed by mere facts. But doubt surrenders to experience. And experience can only happen if there’s enrollment.
Enrollment is an infinite game: a game that is played for the purpose of continuing to play the game. Watch a grandfather playing catch with his grandson or a group of kids playing tag. The purpose of tag is not really to win; the purpose of tag is to keep playing tag
An Open Mind is Enough!
