Message three in the series: An All Access Pass
Isaiah 1:18
Have you heard of the acronym, DTR? It stands for Define The Relationship. A friend might ask you, “Have you DTR’d yet?” They mean to say, “Have you sat down and had a talk with the person you’ve been seeing and really decided what kind of relationship it will be?”
Some people dread these talks: “Oh no, my girlfriend wants to DTR! We’ve been having so much fun! This will ruin everything!” They want things to remain ambiguous. They don’t want to clarify where the relationship is headed because they’re avoiding commitment.
As there can be ambiguity in romantic relationships, so can our relationship with God suffer from a lack of clarity. Some of us want things to remain as they are; just casual. But comfort with the status quo is not an option for Christians; our faith is either growing or it is dying. We can’t really be following Christ if we want to avoid sold-out commitment.
We’re in a series of messages in which we are looking at some of the Bible’s best invitations. This weekend we’ll turn to Isaiah 1:18 and hear God invite us to DTR. He says it’s time totalk.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Is. 1:18).
I look forward to worshipping with you. Introduce me to the friend you invite.
