We are often reminded in song of how deep God's love for us is. Paul stood in awe of this as he wrote the Ephesians, and we rightfully should as well. However, I'm afraid that our love for God is often more like a "kiddie pool" than an ocean. Mohler's careful assessment of the situation through the eyes of Michael Green intrigues me (Give Praise to God 110.) Sermonettes, he says, lead to Christianettes. Shallow, hollow, messages, lead to shallow, hollow people. As churches have bought into the entertainment mindset of today's culture, truth and consentrated thought have been relegated for the sake of fast-paced, "enjoyable," programs and performances. The Gospel (which alone can save the lost) has been sacrificed on the altar of "reaching the lost." This is disheartening, not to mention self-defeating.
But thank God that He is still sovereign, and this "trend" is not all-consuming.
