So much is happening in the world with hurricanes, unemployment, suicides, massive killings, sickness is everywhere you turn, health care cost steady going up and paychecks are going down, saints are hiding and sinners are out in the open, family hating on one another and friends are becoming enemies.. I mean, what is really going on? Folks expect Pastors to fix all the problems and then when they don’t, they run from the church but baby, knowledge and problem solving is your responsibility. Stop acting like the only time you can open up the bible is on Sunday morning inside of a church building because if you study that same bible more, you’d know that the church is in you. Now, this doesn’t mean you don’t have to fellowship with others from time to time because the bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:10, “If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”
See, trouble is everywhere and it finds you even when you try not to find it, so stop spending all of your time being mad at the world and the folks in it. Stop listening to all those who are constantly running you from church because while you are at home on Sunday, they are at church. Go to church for yourself and form your own opinion. Stop going off of what happened when you used to go or the thoughts that folk had when you were little. Study God’s word for yourself because you may just find that you enjoy it. All I am saying is; you need to stop playing with God before your time runs out. While you’re spending all your time trying to get yourself together, your time may just be spent before you’re able too. Baby, God doesn’t choose you to do his will because you are perfect but He chooses you with your flaws because those are the things that He can correct. Don’t you know that if God waited on perfect folk to do His will, it would never get done because NONE of us are perfect? Why don’t you allow God to clean you up that way once He does, you’ll have a brand new walk, talk, attitude and plenty of gratitude. The next moment of your life is not guaranteed, so stop waiting! Live YOUR life and stop trying to please everybody.
