Individual Christians and churches on the whole often sacrifice...
Devotion for busyness.
Faithfulness for innovation.
Movement for monuments.
Transformation for tradition.
Truth for preferences.
The Gospel for self-help.
Surrender for legalism.
Repentance for reputation.
Growth for control.
Prayer for self-reliance.
Preaching for personality.
Worship for entertainment.
Shepherds for entrepreneurs.
Christlikeness for comfort.
Disciples for crowds.
Revival for routine.
After writing this, I was reminded of another, earlier post on sacrifice that gives more context to the idea. Read it here.
