3.5: Comer embarks with a great goal, gives good advice, but operates with a problematically incomplete motivation.
Jesus is absolutely our rabbi and example but far more importantly: He is our very life. It's not so much: 'do holy things because Christ was holy' but rather 'be holy because Christ has already made you holy'. Become what you already are in Christ.

Now this may seem pretty nitpicky. And I will gladly affirm that Comer is incredibly winsome and orthodox. I really did appreciate his emphasis of how eternal life begins now and that holy living isn't about abstinence but instead fulfillment.

Yet despite his best intentions and sign posting, Practicing the Way implicitly divides believers into two castes: lame old day-to-day Christians, and super spiritual disciples. Thinking he is saying something new, Comer is in fact revisiting a fundamental aspect of American religion which has always been obsessed over elevating the true and pious from the everyday Christian. The lazy from the diligent.
