People use the word “casual” to refer to a lot of things. A “casual dresser” is someone who doesn’t dress up very formal. A “casual drinker” is someone who occasionally drinks alcohol. A “casual attender” is someone who attends only sometimes. It most uses, “casual” has come to basically mean “half-way.”
Casual is okay for a lot of things. But I don’t think its okay to be a “Casual Christian.”
God doesn’t want us to just be casual in our relationship with Him. God wants us to go after Him with everything we’ve got! If we really want to find God, we’ll go after God like Moses did in Exodus 34. In the story, Moses repeatedly asked for more of God. Finally, God allowed Moses to see His glory. And you know what happened? Because Moses kept seeking God, God showed Moses His glory. And when Moses was done his face shined so bright that he had to wear a veil over his head.
Don’t be a casual Christian. Go after God with EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT!
I used to be a “casual christian.” I would just sort of meander through life, going to church on Sunday and Wednesday. But I wasn’t really pursuing God.
A while back, I started to pursue God and I immediately began to experience peace and joy. I began to sense that my life had a meaning and a purpose.
In some ways, things got a little harder, I was disciplining myself to spend time with God. But, in return, God began to reveal Himself to me.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I’ll never go back to just “casual.”

Maybe we should take it even a step further by saying that we shouldn’t be a casual ANYTHING.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…”
(Col. 3:23)
Whether we’re at work, home, teaching someone, loving another person…we should do nothing casually. It’s all His, and that’s the beauty of it!
