Stop Hitting the Snooze Bar!

- - - - - - -

John David Walt uses the phone's snooze button as an image for believers who have drifted into a half-awake state. Paul is writing to followers of Jesus, not the unbelieving world, and tells them to "rise from the dead" and put on the armor of light. JD warns that a principled, respectable life can be the worst form of snoozing, because it hides self-righteousness and image management. The remedy is to clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ. That means receiving God's love as a son or daughter, not trying harder to be better. He ends with a prayer and journal prompts about self-deception and honesty. He also says that waking up has to happen again every day.
