My Jesus
My Gifts and Calling
What I learned this week
What I got out of the sermon
How often I worship or study
How many ways I'm serving
My healing
What I heard in prayer
How in I am with leadership
How often I attend church
How righteous is my manner of dress or hairstyle?
Overcoming my tempatations
My spiritual growth
How much do I Tithe?
Who are my friends?
How important am I?
These subjects are what church is all about for many people, including me for much of my life. I realize that it's my fault for perpetuating these things in my spiritual life. But I didn't just make them up, I had to learn them somewhere.
In any case, at what point should it really become about Jesus and not about me: my needs, my salvation, my faith, my works? How do I learn this?
For me the answer was to remove myself. I'm certainly not recommending this as a solution, only sharing my experience. Not until my life was void of all those external spiritual things could I see Jesus. For the first time, really.
