pretentious?

Posted on May 19, 2008 by Norman Sennema

I found this quote at another site called “jesusfollower”, and it left me wondering, am I being pretentious?

Sometimes I’ve wondered if the name of this blog could be taken as being pretentious. I certainly don’t feel worthy of the title “Jesus Follower”… and I recognize that there are many who have breathed, are breathing, and will breathe that will be much more deserving of this label. But I really do want to be a follower of Jesus. It’s what my life is ultimately about… and I am just one of many millions who are trying to live this way. So that’s what this site is for… my attempt to think on what it means to be a follower of Jesus in this world.

You can check out Ken Castor’s site here. And I want to echo what he says here… its not that I am better as a Jesus follower than those who call themselves christians. Its just that I really, really, really want to be a Jesus follower, and know how far I am from it!
