Jan 15– The Gospel of John, Pt 5

One of the deficiencies and fickleness of the human character is our propensity of being shallow. We like a charismatic speaker over being told the truth, a flashy dresser over something practical and a celebrity over an intellectual or even a friend. We want a religion that does not convict or teach because we want to indulge ourselves with what we want and to feel good. We want our ears tickled and our problems solved. We want to feel good but we do not want to grow in faith or learn from adversity. We want comfort and not have to bother with the time and work that true spiritual formation takes. Jesus walked away from and condescended to these people who were flocking to Him. The question we must ask, is how shallow am I? Where do I need conviction; in what areas do I need to grow? Let’s find out the answers to these questions and more. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.
