Progress or Regress? 2/16/11





Genesis 8:6-13, 20-22. Psalm 116. Mark 8:22-26. Church culture has become a couch for us to rest our lazy spiritual lives on. Challenge has been replaced by compromise and sermons, homilies, that used to call us to a deeper relationship and greater responsibility talk about how much we need to do around our buildings. Sad indeed. I know this isn't the case everywhere. The three readings today show a spiritual progression that takes place in the lives of those who are God's children. We are saved by sacrifice, are supposed to fulfill our vows and then continually go to Jesus for better spiritual vision. Are we making progress spiritually?
