From Sacrifice to Convenience: A Hard Look at Modern Christianity

Growing up, I witnessed a faith that was marked by sacrifice—hours of prayer, unwavering commitment, and giving even when there was little to give. Today, with all our conveniences and distractions, I find myself asking: Are we still running the same race our parents did? This heartfelt reflection explores the cost of true discipleship, the danger of watered-down consecration, and the call to realign with God’s unchanging standard.

This ‘Inconvenient’ Choice is Shaping My Children’s Faith

It started with a simple question from my daughter during devotion: “Mommy, why are you pressing your phone?”
She didn’t see that I was reading the Bible—she just saw another screen. That moment stirred something in me. I realized that even though my digital Bible was convenient, it wasn’t sending the message I wanted to pass down. So, I made a shift. It’s not the most convenient choice, but it’s a deeply intentional one—because my children are watching. And this “inconvenient” change? It’s shaping their faith in ways I pray will last a lifetime.
