come-to-Jesus moment

Anyone who has previously visited this blog probably can predict what I'm about to write. The expression "come-to-Jesus moment" paints the wrong picture of correct Christianity. Epiphanies, goosebumps, and euphoria aren't integral. The initial "conversion" experience isn't necessary. Moreover, long afterward, hazy memories of a spine-tingling point in time won't be enough to sustain a spiritual journey. Recapturing it isn't a primary goal unless someone is more accurately classified as a thrill-seeker than an earnest apprentice to the Master. Your personal come-to-Jesus moment doesn't distinguish you; your willingness to follow and "lift your cross" proves your loyalties. Yes, by all means, come to Jesus. Don't assume you'll halt all forward movement thereafter.
