AWESOME MESSSAGE By Chuck Lawless!
From CHURCHLEADERS:
Literally, “à la carte” means, “at or according to the menu”—and we’ve understood it to mean choosing what we want from a smorgasbord of options. I fear that description fits how many believers live out their Christianity, too: they pick what they want and leave the rest on the counter. Here are some dangers of that approach—dangers that might also signal if we’ve moved in this direction:
- Christianity becomes only an appendage to our lives—not the center of our lives. That’s inevitable when we’re the ones who pick and choose what we want. We do that because we’re still on the throne of our lives. It’s impossible to follow Jesus as Lord in an à la carte Christianity
