the marketing of christianity

i'm thoroughly dissatisfied with the state of our nation.
why are we stuck in this pattern of childlike behavior
claiming to have fellowship with a man
who would most likely say:

"depart from me, you workers of iniquity! i never knew you."

our christianity has become something
more than just a lifestyle
it's all about the way you wanna be
kind of like a try it on for size kind of thing.

we make our doctrines to accomodate our needs
or the things we claim that we need.
god's will is subjective,
according to whatever seems to feel good at the moment.

can't we just take this stuff
literally for a change?
as a.w. tozer once said,
"you should never ask for counsel about something
that God has already forbidden."

God, help me to do what you say,
not what my interpretation makes
convenient at the moment.
