you guys know how it feels like when you just went to some youth camp and get all fired up for God there, but then like 1 month later the passion disappears?
and how some people blame it on God, oh God didn't make enough miracles for the fire to continue burning.
or how some people blame it on their life. when my life is great and all is going well, i praise God. when my life is down to the pits and nothing is going my way, i don't acknowlegde my 'relationship' with God. my 'relationship' with God floats along with my life.
or how some people blame it on the church. oh worship team isn't doing a good enough job, therefore cannot worship with whole heart, therefore fire die lo..
or how some people blame it on other people, other people not being so excited for God, meh i also same lo..
if christians use those excuse for our fire to die down, then are we really worshippers of Christ? or are we only worshippers every few times per year when got planetshakers conference or only when got youth camp?
i'm not saying it's wrong that we get all excited for God during big youth events. i'm saying that after all those events, it is up to us to fan the flame. God is always speaking to us, but how come only during big youth events can we hear Him?
God is not to be blamed, nor the church, nor other people. if we are really christians, then it would be a relationship with Christ only, that doesn't include how awesome the worship team is, how awesome the speaker is, how fired up or friends are. if we are really christians, we would stand for Christ, passion burning for Him, throughout our lives. not during big youth events.
come brothers and sisters. i don't think God deserve to be mistreated this way. be real in your relationship with God.

ReplyDeletehey sam... do you know chinese? do you know what this er... 'DonellKondo' is saying?
ReplyDeletehe is saying 'free adult porn movies!' over and over AGAIN and other stuff I don't think you want to know :P ... Don't click the link to find out what he's trying to sell you - block this pervert and make sure he doesn't put his dirty fingers on your blog again.
o... bout feeling hot and cold, I believe what you say is true... that sort of pure excitement and crazy feeling is what is called 'infatuation'. It is only temporary... and it is soon gone(you're lucky if it could last a month!!)
ReplyDeletesame thing happens in young BGRs... people often get fooled by it... ('What is this feeling? How do I describe it? O my GOSH I'm in LOOOOOOVE!!') but this sort of hot attraction cannot last forever. Soon the guy would say, "I can't feel that rush anymore..." and poof...
It's cool that in youth camps we all get super charged up for God... but I think God is more interested in the sort of steady and quiet affection that come from a devoted heart. The sort of love that takes effort and commitment
