I Want my Religion!

Perhaps you are familiar with the series of Burger King commercials in which they play a trick on their customers by telling them they were no longer serving Whoppers. It was funny because when people don’t get what they expect, they can do some pretty outlandish things. So what do people expect when they go to church? One church decided to experiment with this concept. There are several commercials below. Don’t Freak Out!

Too often people want their safe and innocuous "religion". But is that what Jesus calls us to? No, certainly not! Becoming a Christ-follower isn't about consuming a religious product and merely sitting and soaking in the pews. Rather it is a call to give our lives away. We are called to pour out our lives. This is an overflow of Jesus having poured out his life for us on the cross.
