It makes me so sad
It breaks my heart when I drive past certain churches on Sunday mornings. When I see the hundreds of people standing outside the doors, wanting to get inside. I want to grab them, and shake them at the shoulders "This is not where you should be going! What's in there is not what's going to get you to heaven!" And they think they are! They don't realize that everything that has been pumped into their mind and heart, that some of them have poured their lives to, isn't going to get them where they think it's going. They're going to hell, it's as simple as that. It kills me when I hear a Chris Tomlin or Michael W. Smith song pouring onto the streets. They wrote that music to praise God, to bring glory to Him. They are strong, Christian, God fearing men.. And their music is being sung and lifted up by people who don't believe the Truth. They think they know the Truth, but they don't. They've been brought up in their faith the same way I have. Some have gone on missions trips. Some have gone to colleges for their faith.... And it makes me so sad. Sad that they're learning more and more things that will drive them closer to the god they think is God, and the lifestyles and habits their faith believes in... But it's driving them further and further away from God and heaven. And if you're not going towards God and heaven, you're moving away. Even "standing still" is moving away, because if you're not growing in your faith, you're shrinking. And think of all the mission trips and conferences that get people to come to "Christ"... These people who are "lost" and are looking for God.. Are being lead to the wrong place. Like cattle being herded to the slaughter house. They don't realize where they're headed until it's too late. They're already dead. And they're already in hell.It's just sad. But makes me so grateful for the parents I have that raised me to grow up to have the relationship that I have with God. And that I know what my life is for.
