You're 3 hours into a 10 hour road trip. The kids have finished the second movie, you just stopped for a bathroom break 30 minutes ago. The leather seat is starting to feel a little more like a wooden church pew. What is the most logical conversation to take place in this scenario? Not a deep conversation about the state of the world or a fresh take on American consumerism, there's no way that's coming from the back seat. It's the age old question, "are we there yet?"
Why on earth would such a silly question emerge, and why is this exhausting conversation such a shared experience by families all over the world? The kids in the back are not paying attention to the Dashboard. They don't know (or care) how many miles there are in the trip. They just want to know how much longer they are going to be stuck in this smelly minivan.
We've been talking about roads for the past few weeks. This week, Pastor Brian gives us the gauge to watch in our spiritual journey. Actually, John the Baptist gives us the gauge and Brian just relays the information. So, if you're wondering how you can look at your spiritual odometer, give this sermon a listen.
