Stupid Things Christians Say And Do...

How many cities in how many countries has the revival of the church started in?

What exactly is our generation being raised up to do?

How come christians jump on the latest craze (eg;24/7 prayer, 40 Days of Purpose) and always say 'lets stop talking and start doing,' yet when the novelty wears off, they stop talking, don't do and then move onto talking about what God has instore next without finishing or continuing what they were 'on fire for' two months ago?

I'm not trying to be pissy about stuff but I think christians are kind of lame and embarrasing to be associated with at times.

I mean many of us are more worried about stopping the gay community from getting a legal recognition of their love than we are about kids getting beaten and abused (often by their heterosexual parents) or people living down the road who are starving while we decide which DVD boxset we need. PRIORITIES. I've been guilty of the whole materialism thing myself so point all the fingers you want my way, but I've felt really convicted (christian word plug) about that and just my priorities in general which is where this ost is coming from. I mean we all start out in many things with the best intentions but those intentions are useless if not acted on. I've had and have alot of things with God and my priorities that I've 'been meaning to get around to.' I've decided to throw myself into doing the whole how I should live my life the closest to Jesus' example and to be honest I don't think Jesus would be too fussed with wearing his Sunday best to church or what the proper and mature christians wouldthink of him (we know that already). He just did the right thing. He had his priorities sorted. He understood that people have free will and use it for better or worse, right or wrong. But he loved them no matter what. And he did whatever God told him to do even to the point of death. And thats the faith I want and am setting about obtaining. I don't want to waste my energy telling gay people and women who choose to have abortions that they are going to hell, no one is won for God by having holier than thou christians telling them they are evil. I just want to sort myself and do the right thing by God and Others - Christians or Normal People.

I dunno if this flows but it's where I'm at so I'm sure you all can cope :D

Peace Out
