The 'Have it Your Way' Gospel
A fast-food franchise made famous the slogan, "Have it your way." Unfortunately, we live in a fast food culture and subscribe to a fast food faith. What this means is: the subjectification of the Gospel. The Gospel isn't really about God anymore but about what God can do for me. It's not about the truth, but what I feel. If I feel it, it's true. It's not about the absolute, it's about the subjective. We don't mold our lives to conform to God's absolute truth. Rather we mold our beliefs to conform the way we live our lives. The Bible has become as valuable to us as a hamburger. Have it your way. We must reject fast food Christianity - this subjectification of the Gospel. We're not saved by a subjective truth. Such gospels and philosophies save no one. We're saved by the Absolute Truth, the unchangeable God, and the unalterable Gospel. Reject the spirit of the age and live by the Holy Spirit. Let's not bend the truth to fit our lives, but let's conform our lives to fit the truth. For the eternal and unchanging truth of God... is not a hamburger.
From Message #513 - Fast Food Christianity
