In the preface of Crazy Love by Francis Chan he writes the following:
The core problem isn’t the fact that we’re lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant Christians. The crux of it all is why we are this way, and it is because we have an inaccurate view of God. We see Him as a benevolent Being who is satisfied when people manage to fit Him into their lives in some small way. We forget that God never had an identity crisis. He knows that He’s great and deserves to be the center of our lives. Jesus came humbly as a servant, but He never begs us to give Him some small part of ourselves. He commands everything from His followers.
I believe Chan is stating that EVERY decision we make ultimately speaks to how we view God.
Agree or Disagree?
Agree. In my own life, I’ve noticed that the more I seek His guidance on each decision, the more He speaks to me. He certainly has a plan for every detail (and it’s always a better one than mine), and the more I submit myself to that, the more He reveals it. If I make decisions without His counsel, I must be holding a view of Him as something adjacent to my life, something that is neither the source of my decision nor affected by them. But if I view Him as the true center of my being, the thing from which everything else flows, then every decision I make should be founded on His counsel.
Does that seem right?
