## Resource

Many of us remember the Sunday school boys who tried to meet the Scripture-memory requirement by quoting the shortest verse in the Bible “Jesus wept” hoping to get by with the least effort possible. But far too many adults still live out that same attitude in the church: offering the bare minimum, warming pews without commitment, resisting generosity, criticizing freely while contributing little, and treating Christian duty as something to evade rather than embrace. In childhood the teachers finally said, “Enough!” but God’s patience, though great, also includes His righteous judgment. The question presses on each of us: are we still spiritually behaving like those “Jesus-wept” boys, looking for shortcuts and excuses, or is it time at last to grow up into mature, wholehearted obedience?
