“If the Christ we follow sent out his disciples with no extra possessions (Luke 9:1-6 and 10:1-12) and warned would-be devotees that he had nowhere to lay his head (see Luke 9:57-62), then we must recognize that it is extremely difficult to live in a Christian way in a consumer culture.” IfsWayWould BeChristianCultureDifficultChristLaysPossessionConsumersExtrasConsumerismDiscipleLukeOverconsumptionDevoteeConsumer Culture Book:A Royal Waste of Time: The Splendor of Worshiping God and Being Church for the World Source: A Royal Waste of Time: The Splendor of Worshiping God and Being Church for the World
“When you’re not fully trusting in the Lord you’re concerned mostly about rescue. “I’m a Christian, get me out of here!” And the Lord is saying, “You’re kidding, right? I want to teach you who you are in this situation!” In some of our situations, He gives us power and authority to move. In other situations He gives us patience because that works just as powerfully, it’s just going to take a few extra weeks.” WantGivingChristianMovingSituationLordTeachWeekTrustAuthorityConcernedPatienceWho You AreExtrasTrust In GodRescue Author:Graham Cooke
