Just for clarification (it was pointed out to me in my fellowship group on facebook, that a portion of this can easily be misconstrued)...going to church, and showing obedience (tithing, worshiping, and attending services) are great things. I am not trying to minimize them at all; however, I do think that too often we get caught up in things of THIS world, too caught up in hedonism and personal satisfaction. We (generalizing, all Christians) should focus more on ministry and missions rather than personal pleasure and success. In this Luke passage, you'll notice Jesus mentions "the poor have the gospel preached to them"...things like THIS are where our focus needs to be more often...giving thanks for our undercover blessings (like breath, ambulation, fully working faculties, etc) should happen more often than asking for things...
