Let's Talk Commitment

What would you do to show your commitment to a cause? I love seeing the guys who paint their bodies blue and orange and go shirtless in the minus zero windchill of a Chicago winder to support the bears. That is serious, bodily commitment. In the Bible, the prophet Isaiah also demonstrated serious commitment.

In the year when King Sargon of Assyria sent his commander in chief to capture the Philistine city of Ashdod, the Lord told Isaiah son of Amoz, “Take off the burlap you have been wearing, and remove your sandals.” Isaiah did as he was told and walked around naked and barefoot.

Isaiah 20:1-2

Naked for three years. Might sound like a vacation to some, but publicly? That's commitment.
