I remember those sermons that asked us if we were settling for things of lesser quality, "less than the best" of what God had for us in our lives. Those sermons were full of what I "should" be doing for God, implying that my choices separated me from Him and prevented Him from doing all that He could in my life. Just think about the idea presented, that your choices are able to render the omnipotent God impotent.
I now think that to accept the premise of such sermons is to settle for less than God has for us, less than Christ being our life. So, let's pose the original question but in this new context, "Are you settling for less than the best that God has for you in your life?"
