Once more with feeling.

This country, supposedly so full of Christians and lovers of the Lord, ah...this country. These people. Wanting for nothing, suffering from mental illnesses that come from such excess. How we grieve God when we seek to right all this wrongness with everything and anything...but Him.

Hungry? There is a grocery store full of anything you could possibly hunger for, and if you are still hungry, drive to the nearest fast food restaurant. Open your immense fridge and struggle with the decision of what, oh what, to eat.

Feeling sick? There is a doctor ready to diagnose you and give you any drug imaginable for any possible ailment. Better yet, we can help you be happy, take away your anxiety and stress, help you overcome shyness...and we can keep your kid from being annoying and jumping all over the place. All with pills.

Bored? How could you possibly be bored with 150 channels and DVD stores with thousand upon thousands of choices. And then there's the internet full of games and junk and more junk. And then we have Playstation and Wii and Xbox and whatever other gaming system there is. The best part is, you don't even have to be at home. With your phone, you can listen to music, surf the net, text explicitly, watch videos, take pictures... Now seriously, are you bored??



What clutter! What a mess our minds are slugging through every single day. Who has room for God? And I mean, for REAL. Not just an hour or so in church, a recited prayer at bedtime, a passing thought of Him on Christmas and Easter...


WHAT GOD ARE YOU WORSHIPPING???? WHAT DOES YOUR GOD DESERVE FROM YOU??? WHAT DOES A GOD EVEN MEAN TO YOU?

Make room. No, don't just make room- CLEAR IT ALL. Get extreme about God.

Why? Because we NEED HIM. And we are going to find out just how much. TRUST HIM NOW- with every single miniscule detail of your life. Refocus, refit.

He's calling us. Louder now. Come, be near Him- seek Him earnestly, genuinely, and with as much passion and fervor and heart and gusto that you can muster. All that you loved in the world- your favorite movie, food, clothes, car, sports team, band, friends...all the attention and time you lavished upon that stuff- Give it to the One who deserves that kind of devotion and adoration and love- Give it to JESUS.

Wonderful, sweet, perfect Jesus. Pure, holy. Be glorified. We are nothing without You.
