Red Letter Glasses

9/15/2021

Can you imagine how different the world might look if we began to see ourselves and other people through the eyes of Jesus? Viewing the world through a “Jesus lens” is what it means to Think Red.

When we take the words of Jesus seriously and align our values with his, everything changes. We begin to see the Bible and the Church differently. We long to love God and love people in ways that reflect the true heart of Jesus. We are challenged to live out the counter-cultural teaching of Jesus in every aspect of our lives. The words of Jesus (the ones printed in red in some Bibles) have the potential to transform your life, your community, and your hope for the future.

What would change in your world if you let the words and ways of Jesus become the lens through which you viewed people, places and things?

My new book, Think Red: Imagine Your Community Living and Loving Like Jesus, will be available for purchase later this fall. The book begins with an in depth look at six values of Jesus. You can get a sneak preview of those values in the about link.
