So sad that @Starbucks can’t do a better job with ordering products. All of the locations can’t be out of the same products each week. This is ridiculous I want my medicine ball, sore throat. #pls do better

You cannot build a church on consumers. They'll desert you at a moment's notice because they have no commitments beyond meeting their own needs. Jesus can take twelve disciples and build a movement that changes the world. He could never have done that with consumers.

Is our problem that we love work too much or that we love God too little?

The Church exists for nothing else but to draw people into Christ, to make them ‘little Christs’. If they are not doing that, all cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time – C.S. Lewis #ReJesus
