We look to the things of this world: our jobs, titles, accomplishments, awards, friends, family, even opinions of strangers to define us. We let the world decide who we are and how valuable we are. So when we come to church with that attitude the only way we know how to assess ourselves it to compare ourselves to others. So the service becomes a competition of who can make themselves look the best. Jesus doesn’t ask us to look good He asks us to follow Him and allow Him to make us good. Our identity should come from Him. Our value should come from Him. He should be the focus of our lives and the standard by which we judge ourselves. One key way to avoid becoming a zombie: maintain a healthy focus on Jesus.Tyler Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902457544514181830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32975247.post-89621372152041737292011-10-24T07:32:43.976-05:002011-10-24T07:32:43.976-05:00Oh- I have been in some of those churches too, Jet...Oh- I have been in some of those churches too, Jettie. Or some that were so mega-sized that I felt like a number and not a person. It is hard to find a good church where you really feel connected. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
