Doing The Stuff

Are we seeking God? Or are we just using God as another way to lifehack our problems? Lifehack is defined in the urban dictionary as: A tool or technique that makes some aspect of one's life easier or more efficient. We “hack” everything now. Efficiency is the new god of a highly competitive marketplace. It is all too easy to see Christianity as another option on the shelf. But is that actually Christianity? We all want to do something good, we all want get in touch with the deeper realities of life, we all want significance - isn’t God just another of a plethora of streams to drink from? No. It’s about a highly inefficient, indulgent, all encompassing relationship with a God who decided he’d be best known through sending his Son as a Palestinian Jew... Jesus says if you love your life you will lose it. Lose your life for him and you will find it.
