Life is full of chases but to lose one's soul is never worth it. It's also important to value one's soul and attach it to God not music, food or people.
We have to really get into the Bible to start to understand what areas the local church misses the arc on salvation Jesus, free will, repentance, god is a gentleman we are not robots etc...It seems they are lock step in toto. Yet Does A Child Repent? No ! Yet He Can Be Saved ! Similarly...
God is everything he is everywhere but as an adult we become calloused. Therefore we need to become a child again in His eyes to see Him everwhere and appreciate him and believe in Him
Life As A Christian Is All About Growth. Faith Saves Us then Comes Sanctification then Glorification. For Churches to condemn people for not being spiritual enough is the wrong thing to do. There are Carnal Christians - and Baby Christians Both move to maturity and it may take time. Or they May Never Grow but they are still Christians.
