I’m Bored with Christianity ‘as is’.
I don’t know what is going on with me lately, but I’m bored with the Christianity status quo. I go to church every Sunday and lead two bible studies groups and occasionally participate in an outreach by delivering goods or donating money. This can’t be it. I know I am not a street evangelist or at least I haven’t felt that calling yet, but something is stirring my spirit.
Why do we have to do everything as we have done it before? There is a new generation of lost people out there. They don’t want to hear the normal messages, they don’t read tracts, and they don’t listen to your traditional Christian music. YET still they are hungry. They are seeking daily for someone higher than which they are. They don’t know it yet but it is Jesus.
Another friend of mine wrote about it on her blog too www.trekya.wordpress.com (Unsatisfied). Why don’t we see the same Spirit movement in biblical time right here in America? I mean He doesn’t change according to His Word. He is the creator of the universe, so why isn’t His creativity flowing in and through us.
With the turn of the century America literally felt what most of the world lives daily. In recent months, what we have sown has finally come home. This week’s headlines had 2 incidents of families killing themselves because they lost everything. They have NO HOPE. This is a perfect opportunity for us so called Christians, but we can’t go after them with a 20th century ministry. We must go after them with the Holy Spirit giving us POWER (read Acts 1:8)
I’m bored. I’m unsatisfied. I am tired of putting God in a box or limiting Him to a city revival. I’m tired of limited vision. Lord, don’t fill me up for my own needs, but to go after the lost…for your glory….for those that will recognize your voice and are just waiting to hear it and see it.
Yeah, I felt the very same way just before God shook us to pursue our adventure! I wrote it in my aug 9, 2007 post. It’s a good feeling and the beginning of something really cool. Just be obedient…radically, maybe in a way that you haven’t before! With both you and Tracie and the rest of that LDG feeling the same way, I wonder what will become! I am excited!
