A recent discussion has lead me to go to the Bible. Which is a great thing in itself. You should ALWAYS look to Christ for your answers. This is a problem I have with a lot of people today. So there is not one single person this is about. Here goes.......
There are too many people today that call themselves Christian. But fail to even exhibit the lifestyle that we are called to. Some attend church religiously and others don't grace the doors very often. Both are equally hypocritical. If you don't TRY to live your life in a way that would be pleasing to Christ.Then you call yourself a CHRISTian that is a shame.
But then you get the all to famous "I worship God my own way". There in lies the problem. You have used the word "I". The focus has lifted off Christ and and been rerouted to yourself. If you haven't realized already it is not about you.
Well I had to look at God's word to calm me down. Simply because I get all upset when some people don't even attempt to live for Christ. How will we know the sheep from the wolves? Then it came to me...I can't control others...don't need to ...I will just do the best I can. Let the wolves devour themselves.
Here is the script that helped me: (John 15:1-17)
God will do the pruning on his own. We just need to stay focused on the vine. We all need to bear fruit so that they will know us. The fruit that comes from the vine will attract the lost in so that they will not perish in the fire.
Just ramblin' today. Have a great weekend.

To the public in general. So I guess that could be considered someone.
I think sometimes people forget about the moment they were saved. It is a life altering awsome event in one's life that tops anything in a person's life here on earth. I've had many special moments in my life, but none that can top my savior entering my life for the first time at 22 years old. Which in turn, makes the other events even more special, because I know God did all those things for me.
I think people just kind of lose focus over time (satan) and tend to take thier salvation for granted. It is hard to be excited about something when you don't really think about it. And it is impossible to even understand if you are not saved.
And as most of us know. Sata loves to have the lost people think they are saved and the saved people think they are lost. If you are in a state of questioning, then God cannot use you for his purposes
