Some uncomfortable truth from Jared C. Wilson:

Truly, I think one reason we aren’t captivated by Christ’s glory is because we have a diminished capacity to be captivated by anything big. We are preoccupied with small things. And, in fact, we somehow have an inverted sense of measurement in that big things seem to us small or familiar while small things become big to us, at least in terms of our time and attention and energy. It is the fun-house mirror–effect of daily living in a consumeristic culture where we are inundated with all kinds of media and now even carry that media around in our pockets along with our gospel, and find ourselves pulling out that media more often because we sense there will be something newer, more vital, more exciting, more entertaining, more applicable to our situation somewhere among its endless clicks and pages, while that gospel seems so one-note and familiar. Our screens give us a constant stream of things to look at but very little to see.
