A fast-food franchise made famous the slogan, “Have it your way.” Unfortunately, we live in a fast food culture and subscribe to a fast food faith. What this means is: the subjectification of the Gospel. The Gospel isn’t really about God anymore but about what God can do for me. It’s not about the truth, but what I feel. If I feel it, it’s true. It’s not about the absolute, it’s about the subjective. We don’t mold our lives to conform to God’s absolute truth. Rather we mold our beliefs to conform the way we live our lives. The Bible has become as valuable to us as a hamburger. Have it your way.
Studies have been conducted that prove most fast food is not healthy for our physical bodies this is seen in the new adjusted menus offered for a more healthy approach and likewise, a Gospel that can be bent to conform to our lifestyle is not healthy for our spirit man. A fast food Gospel is no gospel at all, it benefits no one.
In order to be pleasing to God and live according to the scriptures, we must reject fast food Christianity – this subjectification of the Gospel. We’re not saved by a subjective truth. Such gospels and philosophies save no one. We’re saved by the Absolute Truth, the unchangeable God, and the unalterable Gospel. Reject the spirit of the age and live by the Holy Spirit. Let’s not bend the truth to fit our lives, but let’s conform our lives to fit the truth.
For the eternal and unchanging truth of God… is not a hamburger.
TODAY’S MISSION – Today, let your slogan be, “Do it God’s way”.
