I'm afraid the gospel of the 21 century church is one that benefits from opportunity without responsibility.
"If you desire to come after Me....take up your cross..." -Luke 9:23
Whatever controls your appetites controls your rhythm. Whatever controls your rhythm has determined what you serve. And what you serve reveals what you trust.
Not many trust God. Do you?
Really?
@ChickfilANews How about while bringing back retro cups you bring back retro recipes and service. You have bowed to culture and changed. Truett would be ashamed.
Would it change your understanding and approach, if you realized, prayer wasn't going to receive from God, but for Him to receive from you.
It's building an altar. Carrying a sacrifice. Burning the incense of worship and thanksgiving.
And you're transformed in His presence.
