Sometimes, the Bible is extremely difficult to understand. That's why people created Veggie Tales and why we attended Sunday School when we were young. Yes, it did take a while to understand that church was more than just another classroom. For some, attending church is a chore, just another item on the to do list for Sunday. If one worships with only his or her mind, one does not understand Christianity. It is not a formulaic procedure that happens once weekly.

Faith goes beyond just attending church. To look is not to see. To hear is not to listen. Without listening and seeing, it is impossible to understand. Christianity exists in the heart in addition to the mind. So, as we enter this season of Lent, let us do well to remember that faith is not a chore. Looking and hearing are not enough to understand.
