God doesn’t want me to go to church
to be going to church. He doesn’t want my checklist of good deeds.
He wants me to be humble and contrite to recognize that I would be
walking down the wrong road without Him and to praise Him for that.
God doesn’t want us to not chase after the vanity of immediate
gratification, regardless of whether it is outright sin and going
against His will or whether it is indirectly related to sin even
though in and of itself is not bad. (Romans 6:13) Because whatever we
pursue we are always its slave. And if we do what is outside of God’s
will we will be on the path to death. If on the other hand we pursue
God we are servants to His holiness. (Romans 6:16) And He calls us to
return and return and return so that He can provide for us. (R0mans
6:19)
