Thoughts bout a chat

Do you see, do you see, all the people sinking down,
Don't you care, don't you care, are you gonna let them drown,
How can you be so numb, not to care if they come,
You close your eyes and pretend the job's done.

Had a long chat with one of our young adults. After that I spent the whole morning asking if i was too hard on her. Was she ready to receive the things that I said. I don't want others to think that I am demanding everyone should shake up. Well yes, at the end of it all, I hope eveyone will come to that state, but I have to acknowledge that we all have difference stages of growth. But I tend to speak up if someone is not growing when he or she was suppose to. Nevermind the new believer for they will grow in due time. But for those who are suppose to be mature but yet are in their infancy, I weep over their condition.

Oh Bless me Lord, bless me Lord, you know it's all I ever hear,
No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear,
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds, and He cares for your needs,
And you just lay back and keep soaking it in, oh, can't you see it's such sin?

I am not perfect and I am definitely not there. But I want to be and I will urge others to "go up to the mountain of the Lord" with me. Our faith is a personal on, yet we're in this together to spur each other on. I can't stop telling others to stop. I'll only get wearier if they have.

Cause He brings people to your door,
And you turn them away, as you smile and say,
God bless you, be at peace, and all Heaven just weeps,
Cause Jesus came to your door, you've left Him out on the streets.

What do I have to lose in being straight forward? Why do I constantly feel sorry for speaking out. Do I care that I hurt others? That's the problem, we rather keep the unity and avoid controversey. It's a reflection of the worlds low regard for the Word of God. Sadly it's not the those who are outside are downplaying the Word, but those within the church.

Open up, open up, and give yourself away,
You've seen the need, you hear the cry, so how can you delay,
God's calling and you're the one, but like Jonah you run,
He's told you to speak, but you keep holding it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such sin?

I feel bad when I speak up, but if I don't I might regret. That will be as bad a disobeying the word of God. Yes, I rather be found wrong in people's eyes than to be wrong in the eyes of the Lord. I try my best to live in the light at all times. I fell a number of times, but each time I got up and have His grace comforts me and it gives me strength in my life. So many people will be watching us closely. Yes, we're constantly under the microscope. We're an open book that others read. A lot of people will not read the gospel, but they can read us. They can "read" the work of God in our lives. Thru us, they can see Christ.

The world is sleeping in the dark,
That the church can't fight, cause it's asleep in the light,
How can you be so dead, when you've been so well fed,
Jesus rose from the grave, and you, you can't even get out of bed,
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead, come on, get out of your bed.

The time has come for us to arise to the purpose that we're created for. Time to get out of our slumber!
