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? |

Of the past 3,500 years of human history, only 290 were peaceful...
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...

"Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?"

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!)
