Is Your Christianity Too Comfortable?

10 Signs Your Christianity Has Become Too Comfortable
This is something that has been sticking in my crawl lately (mostly because it is convicting of me as well). Are we too comfortable with our Christianity? Have we lost any sense of fear, trepidation, expectation, or desire for God?

Brian Dodd shares these 10 signs in an article at ChurchLeaders.com. Review these and then repent with me:


1. You are not attending church with a high level of expectancy.
2. You no longer seem to be concerned about the spiritual condition of neighbors, family members, or your co-workers.
3. You haven’t had a spiritual conversation with a non-Christian in a long time.
4. The Bible seems like a history book.  It’s lifeless to you.
5. Your happiness on Sunday mornings is more important than what it takes to reach the unchurched.  As long as you get your parking spot, your seat, and hear the music you like, everything’s fine.
6. The plight of the poor doesn’t concern you.
7. Pictures of overseas suffering do not move you to action.
8. You do not give your financial resources sacrificially.
9. Your prayers don’t seem to be making it past the ceiling.
10. It doesn’t even dawn on you that God could do something incredibly radical in your life at any moment today.  It’s not even on your radar.
