The Introduction
Have you ever encountered someone so passionate and devoted that they’re willing to sacrifice everything for their newfound passion? Whether it’s music, sports, or a cherished car, they pour their time, money, and energy into it without hesitation, driven by excitement and commitment. They face potential loss and hard work with unwavering determination.
And yet, within the Church, I often see a different story. Many seem hesitant, fearful, and still searching for something more. It’s striking how, when a person falls in love, they’re willing to go to the ends of the earth for that love, throwing caution aside. But as Christians, we hesitate, question, and wrestle with Jesus. We easily take a leap of faith for another person—someone who, inevitably, will fail us—yet we struggle to place that same trust in the One who never will.
This is what God’s church is meant to be: fully submitted, surrendered, faithful, and obedient—without compromise. A people so passionately devoted to the treasure of Christ that everything else fades into insignificance. Such devotion is the only response worthy of the One who gave everything for us.
However, this is often not the case. I would like to examine what might be the causes.
