...we cannot be satisfied with a faith that lives most vibrantly in abstract theological concepts and the ease of Sunday-morning services. We cannot be satisfied with a Christianity that features episodic moments of ministry but otherwise is shaped by the values of the world. We cannot be satisfied with a Christianity that simply fills another slot in an all-too-busy schedule. We cannot be satisfied with a Christianity that allows us to live at the centre of our world. We cannot be satisfied with a Christianity that does not live the biblical hymns we sing and does not apply the biblical exhortations we have heard.Self-righteous, self-satisfied, and externalistic spirituality is dangerous and must be resisted. It is not a by-product of true conversion, but flows from the man-centredness of secular thinking.
(Paul David Tripp, in 'Broken-Down House')
