I get a kick out of Jonathan Acuff's blog "Stuff Christians Like". He does a great job of capturing the ironic elements of the evangelical Christian life in America without being negative and grumpy like some fall into.
Today's "Stuff Christians Life" post made me laugh as he discusses how we treat the "formula" with which we do our "quiet times" as if it's some kind of magic spell that will conjure up the God of the Bible. Funny stuff and so true. It's so easy to push aside time with God so we've mechanized the "quiet time" into its own standalone Christian concept, much like the "prayer form" of bowed heads and folded hands that someone has taught my children.
May we all pursue the God of the Bible wholeheartedly and do everything it takes and whatever it takes each of us individually to quiet ourselves enough to hear God's voice and come close to Him.
