And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world's treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ?

This is very like a conversation I was having earlier with my son. I observed that a lot of people hear the Gospel and just don't like it. It's not a set of simple steps to a life of ease: it's about being conformed to a Savior who lived in poverty and then suffered and died, all for the good of others.

One mark of the low state of affairs among us is religious boredom.

Revelation 2:4
But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Evangelical churches (some), for a long time now, have been trying to keep people interested with entertainment gimmicks. Rock music, wealth magic, sin causes...they want to seem hip.

That is what is boring. God is not boring, they just are too busy with nonsense to know Him anymore. I hope they get a grip.

I am never bored during Mass. So much is happening that it is amazing, not boring.
