A deviation by:

~Nomadigin

This was created in reference to the lyrics below. And you know what? I'm sick and tired of people who call themselves Christians yet they turn around and completely deny Christ with their actions. I am not judging them on whether they are a Christian or not cause that is for God and God alone to do. All I am is saying is there are way to many people who claim to be Christians yet live completely contridictory lives. These are the ones the world sees. So I ask... what have we become?

dc Talk - What Have We Become?


A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different colour
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin' further
Than his heart would choose to go

Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king

CHORUS 1:
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?

CHORUS 2 :
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become

Mom and Dad are fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing
Little Rosie'd leave them grieving The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while

What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?

You know it's true
He is there for me and you
Doesn't matter what you do

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

Selfish... ???
With selfish... ???
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered 'round in trust
What have we become?

as a nation we are torn apart, a godless world filled with lust and pornography to fill the emptiness in our stone hearts. modifing the constitution as our dirty corporations see fit, rewriting the bible and throwing out morality with the trash. we have become murders of the heart, we have stolen from and raped our own friends, we as a whole are rubbish that doesnt deserve heaven at all. we play mind games for money, we gamble away our souls, we pray to anything that promises a free lunch. as a whole we are lower than the worms in the earth. we deserve hell very much and nothing more. that is how things are, and things are getting worse every day.

and that, is why we have to continually pray to God to bless the missionaries and the saints, that the good news may spread through every nation. we have to be humble and patient. we have to point out the evil and call it as it is. we have to attend church not just in our words but with actions, to build on the rock of love and justice.

the above is about everyone, the 'good' and the 'bad'. humans are filthy by nature and need Jesus to turn on the light and lead us on the streight and narrow.

you and i are blessed with God's mercy, we know of the good news and it's our life mission to bring to others what God has given to us. we should plant the seed of Christianity in everyone we meet, asking them about the ten commandments. we are the leaders, if we like it or not, we are responisble and in the spot light.

you and i, our souls are saved, but the rest of the world is a chaotic mess that desperatly needs some Christian leadership.

we are the leaders, prepaired or not, we have the ability to take a leap of faith every day. God said he wouldnt put any overpowering temptations in our lives if we keep his ways.

the pressure of being a leader gets to me sometimes...we are saints and dont always act like it...

I've always loved this song...it is me, what have I become? I've become a monster inside, I've taken God for granted that with each and every sin I commit, he'll love me more, I'm trying to loose my life of sin-have been for what seems forever, but it keeps rolling back...*sighs* I'll do my best to quit my bad habits, I wanna be know as a true Christian! :D

That is the way to look at it. That's why we have to stand up and take the responsibility as Christians to take the Good News to the far reaches of the world. WE have to be leaders and die daily for our Savior.

(Very nice piece, Nomadigin!)

I know the feeling. I've taken his grace for granted before. I'll keep this in prayer. Spend time with God and ask him to help you too. To give you the strength and courage to let certain things go that keep you from the plans he has for you.

Remember that we can't please him on our own power. The Holy Spirit helps us :hug:

Persevere in prayer.
