About Christ Formed
The Christ Formed Community is a group of ordinary Christians that desire to be shaped by Jesus. This is a totally free subscription site! By subscribing, you will not miss a posting, as they will be sent to your email inbox. Now, a little about why ChristFormed exists.
What is the primary purpose of being a Christian? Is it to praise and worship God? Is it to try and live a life without sin? Is it to serve God in some way? Is it to tell others about Jesus? All of these are important, but they are not the primary purpose of being a Christian! The primary purpose of being a Christian is to become more and more like Jesus. The early followers of Jesus were called Christians (or little Christs) because they acted like Jesus. Becoming more and more like Jesus is what Christ Formed is all about.
What will you find here?
I normally post two times each week.
Monday Missive - A poem, a prayer, and a scripture passage for reflection. Why poetry? As Robert Frost said, “"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” Poetry goes beyond the intellectual and connects to the heart of who we really are. Why a written prayer? Throughout the ages God’s people have been writing out prayers. Written prayers allow us to go back and recall important and significant words said to God.
Friday Focus - Articles focusing on various aspects of becoming more like Jesus. Usually there are several articles in a series focused on a specific theme. There will also be devotionals for thinking about, reflecting, and taking action on a specific aspect of being shaped in the image of Jesus.
