Our Spiritual Anesthetic

Have you ever been numbed? Well, I have! But I'm afraid the church suffers with a much greater numbing. I looked up what anesthesia means: it is loss of body sensation. Ya know what that means??...when the anesthesiologist puts you under, the anesthetic they use prevents your body from feeling the warning signs of harm being done to your body. Our comfortable living is the church's anesthetic - our spiritual anesthetic, preventing us from feeling the Spirit.

I say, Is this all there is to life in Christ? Are we that convinced that we're livin' it? I would say that, comfort sure is a great anesthetic! I read what anesthesia is: it is loss of body sensation. Yup, that sounds about right; that sums it up pretty good. Our comfortable living has caused us to lose any spirit sensation.
