Really!!! That Matters!!!

Lately I have spent a lot of time thinking about the things we do and talk about, that, when you think about it, are so trivial and meaningless it makes me think we are no different than the Old Testament people of Israel who made their own gods to worship instead of God. A few things come to mind, and likely a few more will by the time I have finished this post...such as standing in line to be the first to watch the latest movie (and that gets you what?), or the way we pride ourselves in cheering for our sports team (sports has become such a big part of people's lives that God has been demoted to "when I have time"). We are now afraid to stand up for God for fear of being thought of as a self righteous looney. Christians are no longer respected for what they believe in. While most people are okay that we have an opinion, they do not want to hear us say "the Bible says".

I could state an opinion to someone and say that I think homosexuality is wrong, but if I back it up with the Bible they see you as homophobic or racist. Nowadays, it is better to be seen as a person who saves the dogs or animals (really, its an animal), we don't need people to be saved, as people are seen as capable of saving themselves (not in the spiritual sense) We have moved to the extreme of giving animals more rights than people. I am not an animal hater or lover, to me it is an animal, and in no way even compares to the worst of people.
It is not up to me to save the world, that is God's responsibility, mine is to be obedient. Sometimes it feels I just need to vent, and this blog/journal seems the perfect place for it.
