I have now been immunized against the flu this year! I'm so happy. I got a flu shot this morning, and they pumped a needle full of dead flu into me, so that I won't get live flu. It's a very exciting concept.
Well, it's exciting for people that want to avoid the flu. Unfortunately, we are tending to observe this same practice in our Christian life today in America.
We go to church, blah-blah through Sunday School, muddle through the songs, doodle through the sermon, and go home. Then we wonder why no one wants what we have. It's because we're showing them a Christian devoid of life, devoid of passion. And we are immunizing them against the real thing.
Don't be a shot against real, live passionate Christianity.

Amen or Oh me! Let's pray that we will allow Christ to live "in us" to that extent!
