Until it's your son or your daughter or grandchildren that are involved, eh? Then it won't be funny, and you will not appreciate sarcasm.
And if they continue not looking past this world, they won’t appreciate ANYTHING that God brings to the picture.
As C. S. Lewis put it, aim for heaven and by virtue of Christ, get it and also get earth “thrown in.” Aim for earth and get neither. Worship is not “a bunch of rules.” It’s an attitude and it has a frankly supernatural subject. Catch the world up in God and get blessed. Catch the world up in more world and end up chasing your tail vainly.
I assert that there is a “count your blessings” lesson to be learned here. And sometimes the blessings need to be endangered temporarily before we see them on a grander scale.
Nobody says don’t pursue these issues through means given by God, but always always always present the entire pursuit to God by way of worship. It matters. I can vouch for that in spades.
it wasn’t sarcasm
