ARE YOU STILL PLAYING WITH MUD PIES?
10 Ways Christians Settle for Less Than Kingdom Purpose
1. Consuming Instead of Contributing
We attend services but avoid sacrificial service.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another…” — 1 Peter 4:10
2. Watching Culture Decline Instead of Discipling Nations
We complain about darkness but forget to shine light.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” — Matthew 28:19
3. Chasing Safety Instead of Bold Witness
We keep our faith private when the world needs bold truth.
“You will receive power… and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8
4. Praying for Blessing Instead of Laborers
We ask for comfort more than for a spiritual harvest.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” — Luke 10:2
5. Building Personal Brands Instead of the Body of Christ
We promote ourselves when we should be exalting Jesus.
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30
6. Hoping for Revival Without Personal Repentance
We want national change but not heart change.
“If my people… will humble themselves and pray…” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
7. Settling for Tithing Instead of Radical Generosity
We give the minimum when the Kingdom demands everything.
“God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
8. Waiting for Opportunity Instead of Walking in Obedience
We delay obedience while the fields grow ripe.
“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only…” — James 1:22
9. Avoiding Conflict Instead of Standing for Truth
We fear man more than we fear God.
“Do not be afraid… for I am with you.” — Jeremiah 1:8
10. Living for Comfort Instead of Preparing for His Coming
We relax while eternity draws near.
“Be dressed for action and keep your lamps burning…” — Luke 12:35
