Yesterday at church, I just sat in tears. Tyler Johnson had a wonderful analogy about how some Christians can become numb to hearing the gospel message. He said it sometimes looks like an immunization. Here's why. An immunization gives you a little bit of the sickness (that you are trying to avoid) to allow your body to be immune to the sickness before you actually get the sickness. Here's how he related it to the christian life- for a faithful christian who has heard the message of the gospel over and over again ( for an example- every weekend ) it sometimes can leave a person "immune" to it. Therefore a lack of passion, and an unresponsive heart of worship is what comes from it. Oh, how I pray that this would never be my heart. This would probably be my biggest fear! The fear of becoming numb to the message of grace, and to one day not be effected by the amazing story of what Christ did to resuce me and save my life!
I just don't understand how we could ever grow tired of that?!
