Comfortable Faith

I recently heard Ken Davis make the statement that, “There is no such thing as a comfortable faith.” How many of us believe that, or at least live as if it were true? It reminds me of a question A.W. Tozer asked years ago, “Have the saints of God joined the mad scramble for security?” Modern day Christianity looks awfully comfortable, and it seems few are willing to run towards the battle. We want the benefits of Heaven without having to go through Hell to get them. This may resonate with our modern ears, but it’s not the life Jesus modeled for His disciples.

Life’s Three Alternatives

C.S. Lewis once said that we have three alternatives in life: we can be God, we can be like God, or we can be miserable. As brilliant as Lewis was, it is obvious that in reality we have only two alternatives. We can choose to be like God or we can be miserable. The option to be God, as I know Lewis was fully aware, is not a real option.  We know anyone claiming to be God is either a liar or a lunatic. Only one man in all of History could make this claim and have it be true. So unless you can raise yourself from the dead, you are left with the alternatives of living a life that imitates God as best you can, or living a life of misery.

A great many of us spend the majority of our lives pursuing money. It’s not that we necessarily are ruled by it (though many are), but it is accepted as one of the basic needs of life. We need money to purchase the things we need to survive. Life is so much more than money and the endless pursuit of it can easily cause you to trust it, rather than God, to provide for your needs. There is a higher currency with which we should be far more obsessed. That is the currency of time. Time is far more finite, and infinitely more valuable, than money. How we spend our time reveals where our true treasure lies.
