Comments on: Never Going Back to OK http://refineus.org/2009/11/never-going-back-to-ok/ To remove impurities from something...

I have been thinking about this issue lately. How willing we are to settle. Settle for mediocrity instead of striving for excellence. Striving for a semblance of peace in our marriage instead of pursuing a passionate love. Settling for talking about God instead of drawing near to God. We just settle. Why? Settling is the comfort zone and we like comfort. How unlike Paul. Phil 3 [12] Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. [13] Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (ESV) Nice post.
