Topic: An Age Of Instant Gratification

We live in an age of instant gratification. None of us is immune. We want instant answers to prayers. We want instant works by God. We want instant tangible physical power from God. We definitely don't want to wait on God to do things in His time. We definitely don't want to perspire to get what we want. We live and want excess. We live and want to be pampered. We want a parent to look out for our every need. Now is the time to grow up. Being grown up means we hold off on what we want. Being grown up means we don't get what we want and we then go on and do the job anyway. Being grown up means we sacrifice. Teaching a child to sacrifice is one of the greatest lessons any parent can teach because there is no progress in a person's life without sacrifice. No person, society, church, organization, or social entity can endure without sacrifice.
