The Christian Life
Being a Christian is not easy in the 21st Century it never was in other centuries either. With this world that we live in more and more people are anti God anti Church and don't want to know the real God.
Many of us in the Church ignore the real issues of this world like people hurting, divorce, single parents,and drug problems the list goes on. When someone becomes a Christian we tell them you must wear a suit or nice dress get a bible do this that and the other. This is not the ways of Jesus this is mans traditions and it is almost like come join the middle class social club. God forgive us for becoming like this. Is that your Church today? if it is you need to have your mind transformed to the mind of Christ, this type of church will stifle your growth. We are told by many not to question God and our beliefs, I disagree I believe it is healthy to question God didn't Habakkuk question God in the Bible. Don't just believe things because you have told to do so by men. Man is not God. Over the past few days I have asked many questions as many things are happening in my life and in the lives of others I love and care for. The Church needs to be real get away from the social club mentality and help those in need. People need Jesus! not a great theological sermon or great preacher, they need to see the love of God in action through the Church being real meeting people on their level. On Thursday in our Church we witnessed a very large funeral 900-1000 people in attendance the church building was packed standing room only, the streets filled with people, The police had to close the main road. The community around the church closed all shops in mark of respect of the life of the young man who died. I had the thought wouldn't it be awesome if this was a typical Sunday morning people filling the church building and streets hungry for God looking for answers for life that so many show up and the police are closing roads just because people are at Church. Is this fairy tale stuff I think not If we get real with God and show His love to all this could be reality ,what would the worlds media make of this.? I ask.
I have been inspired to write new songs over the past few days here is some lines from one of them
He will lift you up from your place of despair
He lift you up He will always be there
He will dry those tears and bring you joy
He will Hold You in the palm of His hand.
Being a Christian is not easy but I wouldn't change it for the world.
