Whats the point?

2 posts ago i wrote about a book called "To Save A Life" . One statement sticks alot tho.
Whats the point of all THIS if it isnt going to change you. The boy says that after he goes to a youth group and they are mainly just playing around , having a good time. Just 3 weeks before was the last time his friend walked through the doors, and the next day committed suicide. Now, get me right, im not at all saying church should be totally serious/no fun ever. But, i think sometimes we get way caught up with our "church group" or what we are doing and forget the whole reason were there. but seriously, what is the point of all this if it isnt going to change you. you leave the doors of the church, and immediately pull out your cell phone, computer, ipod etc. and it throws all that church stuff out the window. Anymore, being a Christian doesnt necessarily mean anything to me- Just because people use it so loosely. Even surveys have been conducted showing that 75% of America says they are Christians???? what??? who actually is living it out , really. I would more think that maybe 10% are really Christians. What does that say about us! people are obviously in churches. But , are they really saved.? So, i ask again. What is the point of all THIS if it isnt going to change YOU?

  1. I have a hard time letting GOD change me. I want to be that model christian not in that i don't sin (impossible) but that im all for GOD! Yet because i want it NOW im not willing to let HIM change me at HIS pace. But your right whats the point if we don't try to live for HIM, if were lukewarm, the bible says HE will spit us out of his mouth! The problem is how do we let him change us?
