Everyone loves Kilnger. You know, the Lebanese Corporal in M*A*S*H* who will do next to anything to get out of the Army. Klinger makes everyone laugh except his Colonel. Klinger does his job well, however. He has a sense of duty and never really shirks important responsibilities. His one problem is his heart is not in it. He really wants to be back in Toledo with his Mom.

I wonder how many Christians are like Klinger. They do their duty, like showing up in church every weekend and giving in the offering, but their heart is really not in it. They rarely deny their selfish desire and will not go out of their way to share faith with another. They wear the “uniform” of a soldier, but, like Klinger, keep slipping in to the “dress” of a civilian. Poor Klinger’s heart is back in Ohio. Where is yours?
