Our culture here in North America is such that we adore knowledge itself, instead of the one we were created to adore, Jesus Christ!
We spend most of our time planning our programs and classes all while the world around is dying and so badly in need of a Savior.
God's word tells us to be immitators of Christ and we see that during Christ's ministry on earth he was out reaching the sinners in the streets, teaching through simple parables. He desires that no one should perish!
We also see that the Pharisees were religious, legalistic and loved to make themselves look important.
Why do we tend to complicate what wasn't meant to be complicated?! God's word says, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" ...not, "go therefore and huddle in your buildings and discuss theology."
Wake up, followers of Jesus Christ! Let's be hearers AND doers of God's word in this world that is so badly in need of a Savior!
Humble servant of King Jesus,
