A hard teaching that begs an important question.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. Romans 1:24-25 ESV
The question: When was the last time you took a long hard, honest look at the things in your life that draw you away from your former devotion to God?
Which begs another question: Who is it that you can share this with and ask for prayer and accountability?
Now a plea: Don’t keep God a distant shelf, just taking him down when it’s convenient for you.
I have found this to be a helpful question in self-examination. One who resists self examination, resists growth in being Jesus’ disciple.
