I am tired
I
am tired and ashamed of being a half-hearted Christian. I have been here, in
this place, for too long and I want to change my life – make it count for Jesus.
I
am sick and tired of all the gossiping, grumbling, complaining, and dissatisfaction
in the church – my church, your church, every single church. I am guilty the
same as everybody else and I want to change the atmosphere in there.
I
am tired of any Christian television channel that caters more for entertainment
and ‘good time meetings’ than it does for the Gospel.
I
am tired of listening to preachers who preach a soft gospel. Those who preach
prosperity. Those who preach ‘easy come, easy go’. Those who preach with no
passion for the lost.
I
am tired of ME being such a willing part of a church that has grown luke-warm
in its comfortable smug self-satisfaction. “Don’t make waves” seems to be the
order of the day rather than “I want to get out of the boat and make a splash
as I at least try to walk on water.”
I
am tired of a church that hears from God then only does a half-hearted job, not
even believing it can do the whole job it is called to do. Do we not know; have
we not learnt that God makes a way for everything He asks us to do for Him?
I
challenge myself and I challenge you today – every person reading this page – I
challenge you.
·
Raise
your faith level – it is too low and it shows.
·
Pray
with expectant belief not half hearted hope.
·
Promise
yourself and God to bring just ONE new person to church if not to faith in
Jesus Christ next year.
·
Do
something for God that He wants you to do for Him. If you don’t know what that
is, then ask Him.
·
Find
out what God is calling you to do and ask for His help to DO it.
Whatever
God’s will is for you – Just Do It.
