Are You a Snacker?
As it relates to religion, are you a snacker? A few years ago, Tom Levinson, author of All That’s Holy: A Young Guy, an Old Car and the Search for God in America, was interviewed by the University of Chicago Magazine. Listen to what he said:
“One of the interesting phenomenon is that Americans are blessed, and perhaps burdened, with such an array of religious and spiritual options.
“This wealth of choices has produced such interesting responses. Some people use the American spiritual buffet to keep snacking all their lives, to keep sampling. Yet what many people seek is a faith perspective that constrains their choices, imposes obligations, and demands fidelity to a way of life and a community of faith. Many see unlimited choice as a peril and faith as an antidote.”
Well put.
And indeed biblical faith is such an antidote. It requires that you sit down with the rest of God’s children at the table that God has prepared in Christ, enjoying every course that He serves.
Something to think about from “The Kingdom Perspective”.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
~ Revelation 19:7-10
