Good Morning,
As you would hear on the show Duck Dynasty "Happy, Happy, Happy". My day is starting with a mug full of Door County Cookie Dough Coffee.
1 Corinthians 3:1-2
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
Many years ago our daughter was staring into the refrigerator which was full of food. The freezer was full as well also the pantry. She exclaimed "We have no food". I asked her what she might be looking for. "Well not this stuff." What she was looking for was something you would find in the freezer section of the grocery store that could be baked or microwaved quickly. Basically she was looking for a hot junk food snack. Thus, "We have no food!"
I see Christians today that attend churches and look for junk food. They want an immediate joyful experience that gives them a warm fuzzy feeling, but doesn't really last. They aren't interested in serving the Lord or growing through deeper study and prayer. These Christians are "junk food addicts". They avoid the parts of the Bible that makes them feel uncomfortable. This is a true worry of mine. I see it all the time. They aren't interested in the meat and potatoes, let alone the broccoli of Christianity. "Get involved? I don't have time. I did not like the sermon today. It might have offended someone by saying born again". Imagine a steady diet of God loves you and then throw in a sermon on tithing, or abortion. Those looking to just hear that God loves them aren't ready to truly follow God into service or obedience. Then they say. "No food here, time to look for a candy shop type church." Oh what they miss by living for self.
Rate yourself today. Are you one who gauges a church on what it can do for you, or on what you can do for God through your church?
What do you say?
