i read this somewhere and its put so much conviction on me and really touched me heart i wanna share
I leave it in my bible case so i practically take it everywhere.
i dont really know where to post this so..here it is anyway:
"You are really convinced that you've got all the answers. You've really got yourself tricked into believing that you're 100% right. Well let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you're right about God,as you say your are , and you believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speck with me, you are speakingwith someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation, into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your "loving" God created, yet you stand by and do nothing.
If you believe one bit that thousands everyday were falling into an eternal and unchangable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness. thats equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes by walk directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that "walk" sign will shine your way across the road.
"Think about it. Imagine the horrors hell must have in store if the bible is true. You're just going to to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If your right then you're na uncaring ,unemotional and purely selfish(expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as live and caring"

Romans2-3, that i have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For i could not wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsman according to the flesh.
2Thessalonian1:8 and 9- in flaming taking vengance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our lord jesus christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the lord and from the glory of his power.
I have to say this, this puts so much conviction on me because this godless person is right! So much of the body of christ had been lulled to sleep!We get so caught up in other things that we forget the great commission, the very thing that jesus asked of us. I see the other teens in my area, the come to youth and they don't even know why they come(don't get me wrong i'm glad they do because gods gonna move here i know) but thats the case in so many places. Theres no passion for god! No understanding of the gravity of the fact that the end is near. We go to school every day and hear that someone had had wrong done to them or they've died or something. People are hurting and we as christians have the secret of the universe. Yet even we don't realize it, we go to church maybe every sunday and sometimes on wednesday to put on face and then do whatever we want the rest of the week. Never realizing that theres more to life, that god has more for us!!I don't understand how people can go through life and not want more! not dream!! not care that theres mor ethan just what we see everyday theres more than just what we see and what happens on this planet, we never look outside our "box". meanwhile gods lost children perish for lack of knowledge. And those that know the answer that have the cure never reach out like jesus did peter, and pull the them up.It hurts my heart brothers and sisters, and i know that im not the only one that feels like this. But i just want to say to the body wake up, and go for more go for god you dont have to know what your doing or where you going or how or why or when just GO!
