Although the video is funny, it's very sad at the same time because it has a lot of truth in it. In this day and age, we want things fast, convenient and comfortable. We're always looking for that perfect church with the 10 minute praise service (blue book or contemporary depending on your preference) and the 30 minute or less sermon that shouldn't be too preachy and have just the right amount of jokes. There should be no "stepping on toes", no discussion on sin or the punishment of Hell. We only want to hear love and prosperity --- "What can God do for me today?"
Instead, we should be asking ourselves "What does God require of me?" or "What do I need to do in order to be Holy?"
"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit." I Thessalonians 4:7-8
God gave us a full set of instructions to live by so we should just stop trying to create our own and live by His. The reward is definitely worth it.
