Cramming Life With Too Many Good Things -
What happens when you neglect time with God?
Joel Beeke explains in this video that there are a lot of people who are coming to faith but the corresponding level of personal holiness is often not there. The problem is that they see the truth of the doctrines of grace in the Bible and they get excited about it, but to really live the faith involves reflecting that in a life of holiness. That process takes time alone with God. Often, people neglect that time.
People cram their lives with so many “good” things that there’s not much time for personal devotions, family time, or for time spent cultivating holiness in the heart. Accordingly, a mindless Christianity develops – you go through the motions of Christianity but you’re so busy all the time that worldliness and a lack of holiness are both present.
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) – “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
