The second to last "hardest lesson" that many of us will face on our spiritual journeys (though there's more I haven't covered, so these are just a few):
Seeking God’s Kingdom and Righteousness
(This will be a long one because there is much to say about it. And I am drawing in a lot that I wrote in other posts because I think it is all worth repeating again and again.)
Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
We all know that we are supposed to be seeking righteousness and God’s Kingdom. But are we actually doing it? And do we really even know what that means?
The reason I ask is because our country is getting so lukewarm and relativistic about spiritual things. Whole denominations are drifting away from Biblical Christianity and becoming social clubs where the speakers tickle the ears of the congregation and make them feel warm and cozy and comfortable.
But that is so not what Jesus did or what the Bible is about.
