9 Signs (out of 10) That Your Christianity is too Comfortable

The lust for luxury is insidious. It's everywhere. It seems every advertisement I read appeals to our desire for luxury. We can "escape" the hustle and bustle to our weekend condo on the sea and "relax" in unsurpassed luxury.

I think it's fair to say that for many of us, we seek the same "rest" and "escape" spiritually that we do materially. And both are soul-destructive.

Brian Todd wrote out a top 10 list of signs that you've fallen into this spiritual trap. 9 of them are good.

10 Signs Your Christianity Has Become Too Comfortable

1. You are not attending church with a high level of expectancy.
2. You no longer seem to be concerned about the spiritual condition of neighbors, family members, or your co-workers.
3. You haven’t had a spiritual conversation with a non-Christian in a long time.
4. The Bible seems like a history book.  It’s lifeless to you.
5. Your happiness on Sunday mornings is more important than what it takes to reach the unchurched.  As long as you get your parking spot, your seat, and hear the music you like, everything’s fine.
6. The plight of the poor doesn’t concern you.
7. Pictures of overseas suffering do not move you to action.
8. You do not give your financial resources sacrificially.
9. Your prayers don’t seem to be making it past the ceiling.
10. It doesn’t even dawn on you that God could do something incredibly radical in your life at any moment today.  It’s not even on your radar.

#7 is the one that seems kind of pathetic to me. Why "overseas"? Why not just "suffering"? Anyway - just my little rant against naive nationalism. The other "signs" I think are spot on.

What about you? What would your "signs" of spiritual decay look like? Do you see any of them in yourself? What will you do about it?
