David Zach says that we are hyperliving, skimming along the surface of life. Our time is eaten, and our energy dissipated, by things that matter little. Jesus teaches us how to give our prime time to that which fuels our lives with the highest octane passion.
The Great Commandment of Deuteronomy 6:4-5 is the heart of our Faith: we are to love the Lord with our whole being. The Great Commitment of John 3:16 says that God loves by giving us everything he has. The Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20 tells us to reach out to the world with all we possess. The heart of stewardship is a passion to live for Him and those he passionately loves.
Dead Orthodoxy was deadly for the ancient church at Ephesus, and it is the same for us. We can be pure in doctrine and busy in ministry and still lose our passion and intimacy with Christ. Jesus shows us the danger of losing our first love and how to renew it again.
