Fans of Jesus, Strangers to His Word

Today’s blog's spotlight: Fans of Jesus, Strangers to His Word —Because cheering from the pews isn’t the same as walking in truth.

YIKES!

For a lot of us, faith was handed down like grandma’s secret recipe—but somewhere along the line, the ingredients got switched.

A pinch of tradition, a dash of routine, a heaping scoop of “just go to church and be good.”

Problem is… that’s not the gospel. That’s cultural Christianity.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped teaching people how to seek God for themselves.

• We’ve confused attendance with intimacy.

• We’ve swapped devotion for tradition.

• We’ve settled for a watered-down version of faith—one that shows up on Sundays but stays silent the rest of the week.

We grew up thinking strong faith looked like showing up to church, dressing nice, singing loud. But God’s not checking attendance—He’s searching hearts. Hearts fully His. Hearts that walk with Him daily.

Many of us inherited a faith built more on tradition than God’s word. It sounded spiritual, but it wasn’t always biblical.

Let’s just keep it real—some of our parents never read the Bible cover to cover. Not because they didn’t want to love God, but maybe because no one really showed them how to walk with Him daily, intimately, and personally.. They were handed a watered-down version of Christianity, one that was more about following men than truly knowing God.

So how could they pass on a deep understanding of the Word of God when they barely got to read it for themselves? Most of what they knew came secondhand—from sermons and “men of God,” not from sitting at the feet of Jesus with an open Bible.

You can’t pass on what you’ve never consumed.

So what did they pass down?

• A generation that knows church culture—but not Christ.

• We quote pastors more than we quote the word of God.

• We seek men of God  before we seek God.

• We listen to devotionals but won’t open and read the actual Bible (the pattern of depending on other people to give us the word).

  
  

Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

But how can we keep what we’ve never read?

How can we obey what we don’t even understand? The truth : we can’t follow what we don’t know, and we won’t know what we don’t read. ( no pun intended).

We’ve subcontracted our relationship with God to the church.

But church was never meant to carry what only you can cultivate—daily, intimate and personal relationship with God.

It’s time to check what we’ve been carrying. Are we holding onto God’s word—or just traditions dressed up as God’s word?

Real revival? It usually doesn’t start on a stage.

• It starts in the secret place.

• In your living room.

• In your car.

• In your midnight prayers.

It’s time to stop recycling religion and start walking with God for real.

You don’t have to stay in the cycle. Break it.

Be the one who flips the script.

• Be the one who studies Scripture for yourself—not just listens to what others say about God.

• Be the one who walks in obedience, even when it’s costly—not just follows traditions or routines.

• Be the one who lives the Word of God, not just posts it.

• Be the one who knows God intimately, not just knows about Him from sermons and reels.

• Be the one who refuses empty religion and chooses authentic relationship.

  
  

Let us rise as the generation that awakens the next—training our children not in shallow religion, but in deep, burning intimacy with the Living God. May we raise up lovers of Christ, not just churchgoers—disciples who chase His heart, not just His hand. Let us teach them to seek first the Kingdom of God with unwavering passion, and trust that every need, every dream, every purpose will follow in His divine order.

The Truth? The average believer doesn’t need more church—we need more discipleship and the word of God.
