Stirring My Affection for Christ

Jan 22, 2010 

I read a blog post the other day by Matt Chandler about things that stirred his affection for Christ and things that didn't stir his affection for Christ. It has me thinking. What things stir my affection for Christ? What things make me long for Christ and His glory? What things make me long for something else?

I thought I'd try to make a list for each. Most of these things are intrinsically neutral. It's interesting how my sinful nature takes neutral things and perverts them.

Affection for Christ:

  • preaching
  • studying for a sermon
  • thinking about my seminary classes
  • listening to sovereign grace music
  • sitting or walking without worry
  • spending quality time with Lynsey
  • working hard and efficiently
  • being right with people before going to sleep
  • yard work
  • doing something physical

Affection for something else:

  • being online late at night
  • facebook
  • twitter
  • sleeping too late
  • watching too much TV
