We live in a microwavable time. Waiting is detested and bemoaned as a waste of time in this modern technological world. We have become satisfied with less quality if we can get it faster. Hence, the huge success of McDonald’s. The sad part is that this mindset has crept into the church over the last fifty years. People spend less time than ever at the altar because it takes time. Now they have become satisfied with a low quality of spiritual life since it means they can microwave their experience in church to one hour and no more. They have settled for the spiritual Big Mac but if they would have spent a little more time they could have experienced the spiritual Triple Prime Burger from Ruby Tuesday’s. There are no shortcuts to revival. If we are going to get spiritual quality back in the church again—it will take time!
· Time spent in prayer
· Time spent in the Word
· Time spent in fasting
· Time spent in corporate worship
Quality is worth waiting on!
