Misdirection

I find myself constantly returning to the same point.  We have been born and raised in America, the land of freedom and opportunity.  What this actually means is that we will sacrifice anything for our rugged individualism.  We live how we want, by the rules that we choose.  And this is perfectly contrary to the Christian faith.
The big question?  How do we change our thinking so as to be more like Christ?  This is a multigenerational practice that will only come about if we consciously strive after it.  And this can only happen in the context of the church.
