"Run Through"

We live in a drive through society.  We grab our meals at drive throughs, our coffee, even our laundry.  The philosophy of get it quick and go has even filtered into our churches.  Many people want their quick fix of God.  They feel as if they are doing their religious duty by stopping by weekly, but isn’t there more?  I don’t believe that Jesus died on a cross in order that I could attend a church…I am convinced that he allowed himself to experience that gruesome death because he wanted me to walk in relationship with Him. I am not saying that God is mad at you if you attend church, I do and think that every persons life will benefit if they attend a Bible-teaching church, but I am saying there is more.  If you want your relationship with God to become the core of your life, you can’t just drive through a couple times a month, you have to sit and stay a while.  Spend time reading the Bible.  Learn to enjoy His presence.  Let Him guide and direct your path.
