Every time we read the latest Max Lucado book or finally finish the cool devotional we feel like we have to turn over a new leaf, start a new life, leave some old sinful way behind. But in reality, all of those things will be there when we wake up in the morning, and we will continue to be pissed off about it. We will continue to want to get rid of those things from our lives, but they are not going anywhere. At least not overnight. We have to read those books, finish those devotionals and have coffee with those youth pastors and then apply what we learn.
If we truly want to live a life for Christ, we have to, in a sense, "drop" the Christian self-help books, get out of the mundane "devo's" and start talking to God rather than our favorite youth pastor. Because if we continue to go to worldly things for spiritual guidance, then we are already lost and are driving down the road of life with an upside down map.
Let's move on from being "baby" Christians and realize that we need one book that in itself is a devotional and we only require one person to rant to about our lack of spirituality...God.
Peace. Love. Jesus.
