Ok, so its been quite a while since I produced a blog that was more serious in tone. But today, for those who wish an injection of seriousness (seriously?!), this one is for you!
I have been grappling a lot recently with the fact that our generation struggles when it comes to being serious about God. I mean, its easy to be serious about the Creator when you are in a hyped up worship atmosphere, or things are going well (in church, in life etc). However, in the boring, tough times, we seem more likely to turn to bebo, our blogs, ipods and games consoles. Why does it seem so hard for us to sit and pray or read our bibles. Now I know some of you who read this are very serious and passionate, so this probably ain't aimed at you. However, any advice/wisdom/tips you can give would be appreciated by the rest of us!
Let me get something straight; I suppose this is aimed more at me than anyone else. As a person, I find it soooo hard to concentrate! I just can't seem to focus on something for long (unless its playing Halo 3!). Is this an inherent fault in my genetic makeup? Do I need more discipline in my life? Maybe it's both! I mean, it is so frustrating-I want to read more, pray more, but it just seems such a struggle at times. Dare I say it-its boring!! I believe that in my life, church has made these things boring, but I totally recognise that I have an opportunity to do something about it. And if you are like me, someone who feels disconnected at times from prayer and bible study I would encourage you too! Lets start being more serious about God. Lets pray for our towns/cities/villages and the people in them. Lets study the bible more and gain some knowledge. This takes committment, and that is probably something our generation, with its consumeristic approach to life may find difficult. But with the power of God (was nearly gonna say Grayskull there!!), we can do anything! Are you up for it?
