    The Church

    Post  smije on Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:18 pm

    I think that we should all pray for a lack of apathy and a true passion for the church. It seems really weird to me that so often we just totally forget the fact that people all around us are going to an eternity in Hell each moment. There's a song by Brandon Heath "Give Me Your Eyes" and it's really good and I think that that is exactly what chuches today need. Here are a few of the lyrics you should just listen to the song though...

    "Step out on a busy street
    See a girl and our eyes meet
    Does her best to smile at me
    To hide what's underneath
    There's a man just to her right
    Black suit and a bright red tie
    Too ashamed to tell his wife
    He's out of work
    He's buying time
    All those people going somewhere
    Why have I never cared?

    Give me your eyes for just one second
    Give me your eyes so I can see
    Everything that I keep missing
    Give me your love for humanity
    Give me your arms for the broken hearted
    Ones that are far beyond my reach.
    Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
    Give me your eyes so I can see"

    It is true that we can become calloused to the needs of others outside of the church. We are called to love them and that means taking in their burdens and pain making them feel like they have not only a friend in you but a friend in Christ. It reminds me about what the apostle Paul said

    "Do Everything in Love", 1 Cor. 16:14

    Love them and care for them with all your being and that is having his heart. And yes we need to continually pray for that.

    Compared to the new testament church what do you think we are lacking?
