It’s hard to follow Jesus and be morality-phobic
There's more to come,More peace, more joy,More freedomFrom things that anoy;More love from aboveDescending like a dove.God's SpiritHas so much moreTo say and doInside of you.Never quit seeking Jesus.Never stop surrenderingYour will and abilityAnd embracingHis presenceWith humility.It's hard to stand
And obey Christ's command
In a pleasure-seeking land
If you only hear second-hand
Information about Him
Through a preacher's sermons.
Wholeheartedly seek
To hear Jesus speak
And to always be aware
Of His "still, small voice"
And His glorious presence.
Make Christ the essence
Of your daily life!Dare to say to the living Jesus:“Wash me, cleanse me.”Admit you’re not “fine.”Open your heartAnd let God’s Light shineOn the things that you hideAnd have often denied.It’s hard to be healedUnless you let it be revealedWhere you’re hurting.When Christians
Give up the daily search
To know Jesus better
Their faith becomes
Little more than
Going to church.Although few people
Will admit
That they are
Morality-phobic
It's really quite common.

Christianity without Christ’s presence and power is a dried-up flower. Christianity’s so much more than experiencing a one-time flash in your spiritual pan and then attending a weekly religious talk. Because Jesus is living and working in all of His true followers, He doesn’t need a hierarchy or a go-between to communicate with and direct them.
Morality-phobia makes it hard to hear your conscience. Courageously listen to and obey it anyway! To “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” you have to overcome morality-phobia.
