Church

Yesterday I saw a group of teens at church sitting in the front row. I don't know why they were there and I could not see their heart. They looked like typical American teens. The girls in make up and clothes from either express or old nave one girl in shorts. They chewed gum through the sermon. They chatted among themselves during the service. One of the young men turned to another and rolled their eyes. I realized that they might still be the living dead. I pitied them that they did not see the Glory of God. How much of a precious treasure He is and saw in them my own sin. Did they not see their deadness? Did it not remind me that the cares of this time on earth have been crowding in on me lately. Yet may Christ be first, that He might be what I seek. Their are people who go to church their whole lives yet thing of God as the icing on the cake, when the reality is he is everything. Listen your life is nothing is worthless and at the end of it you will die and go to hell for thinking that this life is the be all end all. Yet Christ in his mercy takes a person steeped in lies, in blasphemy, in lust, in sin and changes them transforms them. Makes their lives be to His Glory. They turn from sin they love Him first and foremost, and that is by making them ALIVE. Putting a heart of flesh in them that hates sin and loves HIM. You can't makes yourself become alive again only God can.

May Jesus Christ be first in my affections.
