JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. In today's society, fast food is making billions. Some of these slogans are "have it your way" and "have it hot and have it now." How easy it is for us to fall into this "fast food mentality" when it comes to our faith. It has almost become who we are. But in God's kingdom, there's no fast food. We can't always have it our way and now. When we are caught up in this fast food mentality, we lose the true meaning of patience. We need to be patiently waiting on the Lord to answer us in a new way! We cannot shortcut the things of God. If we want a deeper faith, we need to avoid this fast food mentality. We cannot have a deeper walk with the Lord without spending time connecting to him through his word, through prayer, without walking in repentance and humility, and practicing a life of holiness. Let's not settle for a hamburger, fries, and coke — when the Lord has so much more for us.
