So many television programs, so little time to watch them. Apparently thats what our culture thinks, because now technology allows us to see an hour-long program in just 6 minutes or less! The Minisode Network has pruned episodes of popular series into shorter, more convenient packages for interested viewers. The shows you loveonly shorter is how its advertised. All to make our life more convenient.
Some have tried to make the Christian life more convenient. They choose to practice Christianity on Sunday only. They attend a religious service at whatever church makes them most comfortable. They give a small offering and are nice to fellow churchgoersnothing that requires much effort on their part. That way they can have the rest of the week to themselves, to live as they please.
That would be a convenient Christianity. But we know that following Jesus is a lifestyle and not a Sunday-only convenience. Being a disciple calls for giving up our lives for Him (Matt. 16:25). Its about living as Jesus calls us to live, daily giving up our plans and purposes for His. A relationship with Him causes us to be concerned with our thoughts, decisions, attitudes, and actionsall to make our life joy-filled for us and pleasing to God.
Mr. Mayor, thank you for a lovely Daily Bread devotion this Saturday morning! Have a very happy weekend with your family!
