Its just all so crazy..the pace of life moving us along at blinding speeds..and we love it. Its called CONVENIENCE...i LOVE IT WHEN THINGS ARE EASY... I can email 30 people while listening to a song while walking into 7/11 for a slurpee on my way to Church..oh you dont drink slurpees on sunday morning...?? You should try it sometime..nothing like a good brainfreeze right before worship!! Jesus went to Church one day..they called it TEMPLE. He got so angry when he got there and saw all these men and smell animals in the courtyard....so angry in fact it says int his account that he turned the money tables over!! Please open your bible at this point..PLEASE..JUST DO IT;;;and read matthew 21.12,13 Wow thats not like the LILLY WHITE SOFTSPOKEN JESUS WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE.....SAD. SO SAD THAT MOST MEN IN AMERICA DONT REALIZE CHRIST IS THE ULTIMATE STANDARD OF MANHOOD. Success is not a big house fat bank account or educational credentials. Show me a mans family..his wife and his kids..and you can determine whether he is really succesesful as God defines it. Eph 5. Jesus hands were rough..he was a carpeneter..he was strong..he carried logs..for a living...he went to the depths of mental anguish and physical tourture that movies really cant portray. As brutal as Passsion of The Christ was...Real life was worse..The Romans were Masters of Pain and torture. Most men dont understand Jesus example of courage and sacrifice in the horror of The Darkest Spiritual conflict and battle every fought on planet earth. God defines success totally opposite of what we define it as.....SACRIFICE! The spiritual leaders of the day had it all figured...COME TO THE TEMPLE...you can change your denarius and buy your sacrifice..present it to the priest and be home by 1.00 for the big game. IS THAT IT!!!CONVENIENCE and Sacrifice are directly opposed to one another. Jesus was angery because for the sacrifice of convenience PRAYER WAS BEING CROWDED OUT. tHE OUTER COURTS OF THE TEMPLE WERE fOR THE PEOPLE TO PRAY AND PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD! Convenience is a thief of prayer qUESTION...do you and i really think Jesus is satisfied with our 7/11 prayer life..NO PERSON IS GREATER THAN THEIR PRAYER LIFE;;;;Has it become boring ..robotic... .ritual
