What a privilege we have to become children of God and have a personal relationship with Him. But what about Christian fellowship with other believers? How should we view church attendance, involvement, and the nature of our relationships with one another? Are those things requirements for a Christian? Are they duties or are they not that important? What does the Bible have to say?
Do the challenges in your life make you desperate for God? Do they cause you to evaluate what is really important? And do you turn to Him in the midst of rising inflation, heart-breaking news stories, and financial and cultural issues? Or do you spend your time complaining and focused on worldly solutions? I have to ask myself the same questions.
If the latter is true, could many years of prosperity and comfort have infected us with a deadly disease? Jon Bloom describes this disease as “spiritual leprosy, damaging spiritual nerve endings so that we don’t feel the erosion and decay happening until it’s too late.” Has it robbed us of our thirst for God and replaced it with a taste for the things of this world? Did it deaden us to the realization that we are desperate for Him? Could it even have revealed something much more serious? If so, what can and should we do now?
