Shallowism One consequence of our biblical illiteracy is remaining shallow in our faith. We are too easily satisfied with what we have as if it were enough. We don't go deep, just surface stuff. We use the right words and have many good ideas, but it amounts to appearances only. We live in a world of Quickoholics, so if it takes time we don't do it.
Spiritual maturity takes time.
Sadly, our spiritual diet is made up more of Twinkies than spinach. I fear it is because we are ashamed of Christ. God's Protective Anointing I invite you to make up your list of those forces that keep you from singular faith in Christ as your savior or that pretend to be a better savior for you. Whatever list you have, the truth remains that it is hard to follow Christ. It was hard in John's day, and it is still hard in our day.
