Lent: Spiritual Entitlement

In todays podcast, we are continuing our discussions on the season of Lent by observing the second temptation that Jesus overcame during his 40 day fast: spiritual entitlement. It’s not always easy to come to terms with the fact that we may feel entitled to certain rewards and favorable reciprocation from God for our good deeds and behaviors, but its certainly the case that many of us carry these assumptions in our walk with Christ. Spiritual entitlement could very well be holding us back from seeing what God is truly doing in our lives, so in order for us to remember who God is, his good character, and mitigate our own forgetfulness (or stupidity), we revisit and remember the altars and times in our lives that God has pulled through.
