The Lie of Spiritual Hunger - The Jesus Trip

About this sermon

And the Truth of Enjoying the Gospel ... The constant mantra in charismatic churches is that we must "get hungry for God." Was Jesus not a good enough meal? What are we still looking for? For a decade John Crowder has fought against this non-gospel language of "hunger" which resonates with a non-gospel message of lack, unfulfillment and unfinished business. Instead, John advocates better language to describe proper feeling toward God: be it love, zeal, obsession, enjoyment or delight ... these are fitting expressions of faith. But "hunger" indicates pain, inward striving or an incomplete infilling - it is a language of doubt in the all sufficient work of Christ. If we are still yearning for Him to come close, then we do not yet believe that He already has. Language is important, because it frames our beliefs. And if we believe we are still lacking to the point of hunger, then we have not yet believed the Gospel.
