Today in America about 43% of Christian Pastors believe that ALL religion can save your soul! UMC (United Methodist Church) and PCUSA (Presybertian Church of USA) have all allowed ordinations of gay and lesbian pastors. A large percentage of christians today believe that Evolution is true and that Genesis is just a bible story or that we can interpret the Word with our own presupposition. But don't you know? Without Genesis there is no Bible. If Genesis is wrong than the rest of the Bible is open for interpretation and can be fallible. The leading Evolutionist of our time do not even try to disprove the Bible anymore. Why? Because Christian leaders disprove it ourselves!
I want to beat my chest over and over again because I'm so dap dap hae. I don't know what to do and I don't see anything that I can do. The epidemic is so large and sin is so widespread. Then I remember. I remember how Big our world is. How complicated all livings things are and that Our God created it and said that it was good. I know I can't do much to impact every aspect of whats going wrong with our times but if I can be used a little. To impact one life at a time. Then I hope that I can be used. I end with lyrics from a song...
Send Revival, Start with Me
For I am one with Unclean Lips
And My Eyes have Seen the King
Your Glory I have Glimpsed
Send Revival, Start with Me
I hope that we can all look into ourselves today and repent. Repent for our laziness. Repent for our comforts. Repent for our ignorance. Repent for our selfishness. Because maybe we can't solve everything but we can repent so that God can revive us. Then together we can do it.
remember dr. kim said revival follows repentance? im so with you that theres so much to be done! so many desperate people who are living chained to this world because they know no better.
ReplyDeletei see it as there are two people who need God. the first group is those who are oblivious to their chains to this world who go out and just sin with no thought. the second is those who are helplessly living a life that in the world's eyes are unfair or unpleasant but its up to us to lead them to God. because through their struggles and difficult lifestyle there is so much potential for them to love God and help us spread the word! (im thinking about costa rica people here)
dont be dap dap hae we can just keep asking for God to use us somehow and not let us pass by any opportunity that God can impinge upon us. amen!! :)
amen, jaz! :P i agree. there's so many brokenness and lost souls out there and it hurts so much to see it... but we always have to remember that we can't do everything or want to do everything to change this world. like you said, its a big big world out there and if we try to take it into our own hands, we'll fail. so what can we do? how can we be used? i think it simply starts with prayer -- everything and anything starts with the power of prayer, right? like dr.kim said... repentance and love starts with confession, conviction, and brokenness in our hearts, for ourselves and for the world. and the confession comes through our genuine prayers. although we may not be able to do much or any at tyms, but as we seek God through our genuine prayers, He'll definitely listen to our hearts and our cries for the brokenness in this world and He'll use us mightily! :)
