    The Intrusion of Natural Life in the Service of God

    By T. Austin-Sparks
    0
    1SA 6:7

    T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the danger of allowing natural life and worldly methods to intrude into the service of God, warning that Christianity has often become a mere outward system resembling Judaism. He calls for a serious reevaluation of how human honors and entertainment have infiltrated the church, suggesting that these distractions may indicate a lack of faith in Christ's sufficiency. Sparks highlights the importance of spiritual principles over mere zeal, using the example of David's misguided attempt to transport the Ark of the Covenant. He cautions against the illusion of bigness in ministry, asserting that true spiritual work often occurs away from the public eye. Ultimately, he urges believers to seek God's guidance in their methods and to prioritize quiet waiting on Him over hurried activity.
