You know those scufflers in school that just do the
minimum amount of work to pass the class? Well, I
think it’s true in church too. Some people want to do
just the minimum to get into heaven. It’s like they
have an attitude of, “Okay, okay, I love Jesus, can I
go now? ” See, not everyone wants to be a little wind-
up doll marching around mechanically citing verse
and droning on about Jesus this and Jesus that. They
believe in Jesus just enough to get their hall pass to
heaven, but they also want to live life. They want to
take deep breaths of mountain air, speed on an empty
winding highway in a sports car, dig into a rare filet
mignon, blast a Beethoven symphony on the stereo,
masturbate to a nice porno video - you know, really
embrace life to the fullest.
