Have you ever seen a 12 year old fill his or her plate at Golden Corrall or the Sizzler? They don't come back with broccoli, rice and beans, 

Nope...they come back with pizza, mac & cheese, 4 types of cheesecake desserts, and a giant cup of coke. Cause that's what makes them feel good!! At least in that moment. But parents, we know better. Thats why we tell our kids to eat their vegetables. It may not feel great in the moment, but its got what we need to be healthier and stronger. 

Now consider yourself a child of God, and the various places of worship around you are items at th Golden Corrall buffett. It's going to feel really easy and really compelling to go get the metaphorical pizza. To go find a place that affirms what you already believe. That affirms your current ways of thinking, and doesn't challenge you. And as the saying goes...if it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you.

If you are in the market for a new place of worship, 127 Webster Road in Shelburne--Connect Church has a great service for the whole family at 1030a on Sundays! Please join us!
