Am I more concerned with reading scripture than I am with living life with the God who breathed it?
Am I more concerned about being present in church than I am with being present in every moment with my Lord?
Am I more concerned with right words and right actions than I am about being honest and broken before the only one who can make me whole?
Is “God” my word to describe a system in my life by which I hope to attain success, or is “God” the person to whom I call out, in whom I trust, without whom I would cease to be me?
Scripture is good. Church is good. Right words and right actions are good. Even systematic theology is good (I think). But when they replace that which they are meant to reveal, there is a real problem. It’s easy to allow them to become replacements.
This is me admitting that I’m in a season where I’m taking inventory of what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. This is me encouraging you to do the same.
