Worship can quietly shift from being something we offer to God to something we perform for ourselves or others. Excellence is not the problem. The problem is when the experience becomes the goal — when the feeling becomes the measure of truth. When that happens, we keep the glow, but lose the weight.

What you look at is already shaping who you’re becoming. The feed trains desire; Christ retrains the heart. Behold what heals, not what hollows.

We live in a transactional age. We swipe, click, compare, and buy—instantly satisfying desires with precision. Online shopping is our culture in miniature. It commands. Take what you want. Leave what you don't. Customize it to your desires.
