Not So Convenient Christianity

It’s not convenient to get up early every day to pray.
It’s not convenient to tithe consistently.
It’s not convenient to join with other Christians every week to worship.
It’s not convenient to watch what is honoring to God.
It’s not convenient to hold my tongue.
It’s not convenient to think the best of others, no matter what.
It’s not convenient to live with integrity when no one is looking.
It’s not convenient to let my “yes be yes and my no be no”.
It’s not convenient to take every thought captive.
It’s not convenient to live in truth when your kids aren’t.
It’s not convenient to love unconditionally when love hurts.
It’s not convenient to praise God when hope seems deferred.

It’s not convenient to live an authentic Christian life.
