Matthew 5: 16 NIV<\/p>\n
16 \u201cNo one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.”<\/p>\n
A little sprinkle of Jesus in your life doesn’t work. Adding Jesus to your life like a little seasoning on a meal is not enough. “Your marriage falling apart? Try Jesus” or “Your business failing? Look to the Lord” sounds good. So good that some of the largest Mega Churches these days deliver such messages every Sunday. These apply the patch messages does a disservice to the Body and sets up seekers for failure.<\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong, Jesus can and does turn those situations around in our lives and makes them flurish. But it doesn’t happen if your “conversion” is grounded in making a bad situation in your life better unless the bad situation IS your life itself. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to give us a new life not patch up our life in an area or two leaving the rest of our old life intact. God doesn’t share. He wants all or nothing at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
