Zephaniah (Letter 36, Larry Crabb’s 66 Love Letters)
Do not settle for cosmetic change, that is not God’s plan.
Surface change is often mistaken for deep change.
When the medication of exciting worship and inspiring preaching relieves the symptoms of sin, the need for the surgery of brokenness is no longer recognized.
Only when surface revival where hearts remain unchanged is replaced by deep renewal, only when the judgment of death destroys the power of selfishness and opens the door to the resurrected power of love, only then will God’s plan become visible.
