I had a friend many years ago that was a self-professing, “Church-Jumper & Conference Junkie”. Whenever she got wind of a great move of God in a Church, or a new charismatic Conference Speaker…off she’d go, leaving her old Church behind in search of the next new thing. Needless to say, she never got established in any Church…for she was happy as a consumer, but not as a server. We see this in the multitudes that followed Jesus. Sure, a few of them gave their hearts to the Savior, but most were just there to watch. In Luke 4:42, after a long evening of healing every sick person that was brought to Him, Jesus went out at daybreak to find a solitary place to pray…only to find the crowds already looking for Him to see what He was going to do next. And even in Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, the large crowd thronged into the city sure that this was the time that Jesus would take charge of the political landscape and they wanted to witness it firsthand. We humans will always chase after the next new thing…whether it’s spiritual or secular, for all we want is to be entertained, enthralled, and excited.
