i guess I’m just a square trying to fit in all the wrong circles. sometimes it feels like my mind is wrapped in cellophane, everything is just tainted a little bit different from what the real reality is. scream shout and kick your way to something new, try and pretend you’ve begun a new chapter. That you inside that skin shell of yours have begun something fresh that is different from the last five depressing years of your life. Lets start to touch the eternal things. Circles are terribly overrated, the issues you have now should have been dealt with ten years ago. God are we completely missing the point?
Lets forget the flimsy excuses we as the western church have given. We’re obviously doing something wrong. God is over our clappy clappy rhetorical nonsense where we sing the hillsong but are too busy to pray and seek God out. I feel sometimes we are too caught up in the system, this grand machine that the western world has created for us. We have found this niche of acceptable christianity where we compare our walks with God to everybody else’s. we see our 40 minutes of prayer a week a miracle cause everyone else’s is 30 minutes. we have become friends with laziness and indifference.
I mean, the divorce rates in the church are the same as the world. What the heck is going on?

The Delilah of the world wants to take our eternal treasures away by making us loose our spiritual strength. She does this be lulling our soul and spirit to sleep regarding sin. Once we are asleep to what is right and wrong, we will no longer have the strength to fight culture and we will just be the same as the others. Very often, it comes with a price, such as your spiritual eyes…that only God can restore if you have anything left in you to ask Him for it. But that is definitely not a place where anyone wants to be. Thank God for second chances eh
