Idolizing Comfort
I like to be comfortable. Don’t you? From the coolness of our air conditioned houses to the pursuit of a trouble-free life, we like comfort. While we’re never told to make life as hard as it can be on ourselves, and while comfort can be a great grace from God, our love for comfort can easily turn idolatrous. A simple way to find out if we worship comfort is to consider how we think, feel, and behave when we lose it. In the following article, Mark Altrogge reflects on a great book, How People Change, and I hope it encourages you to consider how you’ve been thinking about your comfort.
