Are You a Fan or a Follower?

I recently went and watched the movie Not a Fan and for $10 I got into the movie and got the book by the same title (Not a Fan).  The movie was...well...moving, it made me think which is something that I always like to encounter.

The book is a series of sermons by Kyle Idleman in which he challenges you as a Christian.  He asks and hopes you look into your soul and ask if you are a "fan" or a "follower" of Jesus.  To give you a small insight to what some of the things he writes about is if Jesus is the one or the one of many.  He asks questions like For what do you sacrifice your money? When you're hurt, where do you go for comfort? What disappoints or frustrates you the most? What is it that really gets you excited?

It seems that what Idleman is writing about is an impossible plateau to reach, but if you attempt it, work at it, get back up and try again, you will become a follower of Christ and Not a Fan!
