Counterfeit Spirituality

It is possible to mistake identity in Christianity for identity in Christ. I can serve and enjoy the externals of Christianity more than I serve and enjoy Christ. I can and should take pleasure in my inclusion in the culture of Christianity. But that must ever and always take a back seat to the daily rescue and help I receive because of my inclusion in the grace of Christ.
