Bible Question:
What is this God calling us to leave our "comfort zone"? I hear this term being used today and would like to know what is considered the so called "comfort zone"? Is it different for everyone? Or is it a zone, a place that is the same for everyone that one must leave? I do not find the Christian life a easy path to follow. For me it has meant being ridiculed, belittled, feeling battered and raped because my convictions are held in contempt. What comfort am I to leave? The comfort I receive praying or reading the Word? I do not understand this term. Applying God's word in my life is a stretching exercise; it uses muscles I need from him to complete the exercise. Changing has never been easy. Where is this comfort being referred to? |
Bible Answer: What is a Comfort Zone?? In my book a Comfort Zone is a place where Christians get where they are comfortable with the way that things are. Where they worship; How they worship; Who they associate with. Getting them away from this can be difficult at best.. They are just use to the way that things are. For example: A church sister of mine has a fifteen year old son. They were going to be evicted. They were making plans of going into a shelter. There are many Brothers and Sisters in our congregation with big house and large basements. Those who had the room to spare didn’t offer to put the Sister up because it was too much of an inconvience to them. They like living by themselves, and didn’t want to deal with the inconvience of having someone else living there with them, and with a teenager too? Funny thing is; it was the people who really didn’t have the room to spare who offered shelter. So for them it was REALLY an inconvience. And by the way, if you’re being ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped because of your convictions, be thankful, maybe you are flexing your spiritual muscles, and exercising. Some Christians have gotten to the point where it is too much of a effort to be ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped for their convictions. They are nolonger fighting the good fight with all their might. The CurtMan |
