 I think most Christians would be amazed at how many of their inner troubles would be resolved if they simply began to practice the basics of Christianity. I can't remember the last time I spoke to a tormented Christian who prayed consistently and for good portions at a time. I don't recall very many conversations with believers who faithfully devoted themselves to Scripture and also lived in confusion. Now, this isn't to say that Christians don't face trials, tragedies, and tests in life. However, the believer never has to settle for spiritual bondage. To some, the basics are boring or take too long to bring results. The sad reality is that most don't want to practice the basics. They want to jump to the most extreme explanations for their sin problem. They want fast answers and fast solutions that require as little from them as possible. Itching ears want to be told that they have no part in their own deception. The answer? Take responsibility for your compromise and submit to God.
