Too often Christians get distracted by things of this world … things that just don’t matter to God. But Christians often take things of this world too seriously. “God chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.”

Christians get caught up in the minutia of the world,  for instance complaining about people not saying “Merry Christmas” or an ice cream shop in Canada named “Sweet Jesus.” But Christianity is so much more than that. And God just doesn’t care about a Canadian ice cream shop.

“Instead of doing things God’s way, we often want to use the powerful things of this world to accomplish our own powerful ends.”
