Text: Mark 10:35-45


I am addicted to glory my friends! There is no doubt about it that I want glory and I am pretty convinced that you want it also. Glory is great honor or fame; it is being in a position of adoration, receiving splendor and being exalted! Who wouldn’t want this? For guys it is awesome to be in a place of honor and fame isn’t it? For you gals, isn’t it wonderful when you are a princess and the whole world bows to your splendor and serves you?


Not only do we long for glory, we are told in our culture that we deserve glory. Listen to some of these marketing slogans, “Have it your way. Because Your Worth It. You deserve a break today. We do it all for you. You deserve the best.”

The cart cannot come before the horse, it is that simple.  So it is with the Christian Faith.  For example, the Law is to come first and the Gospel comes second.  Justification must also come first followed by Sanctification.  Likewise, repentance first then Faith; Grace first then Good Works.  

What If Starbucks Marketed Like A Church?

God have mercy on me.  I have bought into this stuff in the past.  



Praise God that we can keep it simple.  Word and Sacraments, period.
