It is somewhat mind boggling (and somewhat not) how obsessed the Body is with comfort and convenience as it pertains to the Way.
It is very common to see churches state things such as "if there's anything we can do to make your visit with us more enjoyable (or comfortable, or pleasant, etc), please let us know".
Whatever they can message to market their church, their members or their environment as cozy and appeasing, they do.
I can't remember the last time I saw a handout or website that didn't shout this from the roof tops.
I don't see Jesus saying anything about comfort or convenience.
On the other hand I see where He went up on a mountain, and the lame and crippled had to somehow get up the mountain to be with Him. Interesting how they were healed up there.
Someone close to me is so obsessed with comfort at the moment that it might end up killing them, literally, within the next six to twelve months.
i really don't understand this whole comfort thing.
