Fast food eateries are considered budget friendly.
What’s your favorite? A hamburger place? Or do you go for breakfast foods, perhaps a waffle joint?
Or is your go-to food chicken every time, whether fingers, fried, or in a sandwich?
There are people out there who refuse to darken an establishment unless it comes with waiters and menus. They want service, not quantity and price.
Whatever your level of spending, your choice becomes your standard of excellence. You can tell the best bits of the menu from each of your favorite locales.
Purchase taco fries there, but order the onion rings somewhere else.
Some people will stop at multiple drive-throughs to assemble a menu just to their taste. Perhaps you like the fries at one establishment, the burgers at another, but to get the brand of soda you prefer, you must visit a separate eaterie to get your fill.
Is that how we attend church? This pastor teaches on tithes, and it offends us, so we zip down the street for a better menu. Then we hear about a Christian “dress code” that strikes us wrong, or the choir sings too loudly, and we’re off somewhere else.
Luke 12:35 tells us:
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
This Sunday, start dumping money into the collection plate. Put all your cash in. Make a commitment, a financial one, to your church, and you’ll find your heart becomes invested, also. The menu will seem to improve with each service. The fries will be crisper, the burgers meatier, and the soda offered up by the choir will become your perfect choice every time.
When we choose Jesus, we follow in his footsteps wherever he leads us.
