How Far?


On more than one occasion I travel out to my parents house during the week. In all honesty I travel out there more than 2 times a week. I use the word travel because from my house to my parent's house it takes me about 30 minutes. So, there and back is an hour of driving just to go to my parent's house. I don't go out there because I'm a momma's boy, even though that's what my dad says. The main reason I drive out there is simply because the food is that good! I was talking to a pastor the other day that was wondering if people would drive out of the way to come to his church. As he was talking I started thinking about those churches that are 5 minutes away from my house that don't really preach from God's word but speak from their own opinion's and thoughts that randomly pass through their minds. The question that I challenged myself with today is how far will I go to be fed by the Holy Words of Jesus. Not only that but to what areas in my life am I willing to re-order to make sure that I am taking in the goodness of Scripture so that I might love Jesus better. As for my friend I respond, people will drive to great lengths if their is quality food on the table.
