???s

What is Christ to you?
Does he really mean what you say he does?
Do our lives really show it?
What are we doing on a daily/hourly basis that exudes Christ and who he is?
Are our thoughts, motives, and actions pure?
Did we wake up and think about our self first
Did we think about how we needed to get somewhere or do something before we helped that person?
Did we say we were too busy to help someone, did we find an excuse
Did we find a way not to make ourselves feel bad even though we did the wrong thing?
Are we seeking God just because we want our quilt removed?
Is it all about what he can do for us and not what we can do for him?
What purpose do you serve?
Are you really going to listen to God today?
Are we really going to do what he says?
Are we going to stop seeking an emotional euphoria?
When are we going to stand and stop allowing the walls to be broken down and for whomever to run in?
When are we going to put the amour on and fight?
When are we going to start preparing for battle?
Do we really love Him, why do our actions not show it, why do our motivations not show it, why do our thoughts not show it
Why do we keep turning your back on Him?
Why do we keep doing the same dumb thing over and over?
Why do we feel your needs are more important than His or anyone else’s
When are we going to say no to this world, when are you going to say enough is enough
When are we going to give everything to God?
When are we going to stop looking to everything else but God to fulfill you?
When are we going to stop looking at yourself as better than anyone else?
When are we going stop begging for others approval
When are we going to follow the calling of God?
Now is the time, there is no turning back
we must determine that you will look back for nothing
we must determine that you will fight no matter how painful it gets
we must, you must, and you must or else you will die.
Who are you serving really, you say you serve God but are you really.
Are you just telling God what He wants to hear, what the church has told you to say for your entire life?
Do think for yourself or do you let others think for you (the church, your friends, etc)
You must realize what you are passionate about so that you can chase after it with full speed
It’s not about you or how you are going to fix yourself
It’s about focusing on God and allowing Him to fix you
You have to let go, release the death grip from the things you have a hold on, and hold onto God
You are here because this is where God has brought you...How are you going to allow God to work in
your life
Your identity can not be found in this world...that is your friends, your status, your clothes, your car, your school, your parents, your ethnicity, your work, etc cannot be who you look to comfort you, to fulfill you in the innermost being of your body

Blurred Vision

There is something out that longs for us to deny the truth, to try to find our own path, and to try to find hope in worldly things. It is the ruler of this world that seeks to destroy us. He feeds us lies, that allow us to be happy in our ravenous ways. It is the psychomachia, the struggle of our souls. It is the war that has gone on for centuries and could go on for centuries more. The Dark Ruler seeks to keep us focused so intenly on one thing that we do not see the big picture (change blindness---look it up). Our eyes are taken off of God, and we no longer have the view we once had to be able to see that God has everything in control. It is a slow process, the Dark Ruler likes to get you warmed up to things. That way you never noticed what happened (just like a frog who sits in pot of water that's temp is gradually raised until it is boiling, and never even notice).
