Wow, it has been a long time since I last blogged here. I guess I have been kinda busy. As a youth director I have been geeting us ready for camps, mission trips, graduations, and so much more. With the baby coming in 3 months life is starting to get a little crazier and undoubtedly will get even more afterwards. I have been feeling like the time that I spend with God is getting smaller and everything else is getting bigger. This is definitely a human condition in regards to our worship to God. God always seems to get what is left over. If we are running short of money and not of month we tend to cut down how much we tithe. If we wake up late in the morning we completely put God on the back burner. If we have a lot of catching up to do with our chores or our family we take a Sunday off. What is wrong with us? Don't we know that he is our king. I was watching a History Channel episode on "Castles" the other day and they were talking about how kings would build the castles and the people living with-in it walls would live for the king. If anyone would do anything that the King did not like they would be punished. Actually some castles had a room called an Oubliette, which comes from the french word oublier, "to forget," as it was used for prisoners whom it was desired to forget. It is said in the book of Revelations that we are either to be hot or cold, not lukewarm for go will spit us out. I ahve been thinking about that verse and I have come to a conclusion. Someone who is cold does not know God's Love at all. Someone who is hot knows God's love and shows it through their everyday life. Someone who is lukewarm knows God's love but doesn't choose to live for him. Whats worse being lukewarm or cold, well abviously lukewarm because you know how amazing our God is yet you CHOOSE to live for this world. Shame on you. Shame on me. Shame on us! Thank you Lord that you don't forget about us. That you keep us close eventhough we stray. Help us to show you how hot we are.
