Episode 61: Are You Doing Christianity Instead of Knowing Christ?

Send us Fan MailAre You Spiritually Dead… or Just Busy?You can go to church every Sunday.You can serve.You can teach.You can know your Bible.You can be involved in ministry.You can even have a successful church.And still be drifting away from Christ.Jesus looked at the church at Ephesus and said, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.”That ought to scare us.Because spiritual drift doesn't always look like rebellion. Sometimes it looks like busyness. Sometimes it looks like routine. Sometimes it looks like doing everything you've always done without remembering why you started doing it in the first place.In this episode, we talk about what happens when faith becomes routine, when serving God replaces loving God, when comfort becomes easier to love than Christ—and what happens when individual spiritual dryness spreads into an entire church.We talk about Ephesus.We talk about David.We talk about spiritual fellowship versus simply going through the motions.We talk about churches that need renewal.We talk about what happens when a church is full but spiritually empty.And we talk about what genuine revival actually looks like.Because renewal doesn't begin with trying harder.It begins with remembering.Remember where you were.Repent of where you've gone.Return to the One you were pursuing in the first place.And here's the uncomfortable question:If you stripped away your church attendance, your Bible knowledge, your ministry, your reputation, and everything you do that makes you look Christian… what would your relationship with Jesus actually look like?Are you spiritually renewed?Or are you just busy?
