“It’s not that the product of technology is unappealing. We work faster and better. Unimaginable conveniences become commonplace expectations. From cell phones to DSL, we have the world at our fingertips. In some ways, technology organizes the mess in our lives, yet it offers us convenience so quickly that sometimes we forget to stop and ask the question, ‘Is organization the best thing for everyone in every situation?’… It’s not that we don’t like diversity, options, and choices because we clearly do. We want our color options, size options, and style options. We just want them in a way that brings us greater convenience and doesn’t complicate our lives. We want everything tailored to our specific tastes, while at the same time, we want it available without any effort on our part… The contemporary church has chosen the same course. We have chosen standardization over uniqueness. We have chosen predictability over surprise. And without realizing it, to our own regret, we have chosen comfort and convenience over servant-hood and sacrifice… ” ~ Erwin McManus (prequel) An Unstoppable Force
