Today, the churches of America are suffering from a case of causal Christianity! These are the days of discount Christianity. It does not cost much to profess one is a believer in Jesus Christ. The words devotion and sacrifice have almost disappeared from the vocabulary of 21st century American Christians. The "selfie" generation has succeeded the "have it your way generation". The result is a self-centered church that glories in in her image! It is all about "us". It is time for us to come back to the "old-time religion" of deep reverence and love for Jesus Christ that is manifested in sacrifice and devotion to Him above all else. Paul reminds us, in Roman12:1-2, we are living sacrifices to the Honor and glory of Jesus Christ! He is worthy of the honor and glory. He is to be first above all others. Anything or anyone else that assumes that position is idolatry! It is time to tear down the idols! The first place to start is in your heart. Have you crawled off the altar and assumed the throne?
