Today’s Church – Zombie Gathering

I’ll be genuine with you.  I’m having something of a crisis of faith.  Not that my ability to believe in God is in jeapordy or anything (yet), but I honestly feel that there is very little true worship of God going on anywhere.  I’m almost to the “what’s the point” phase.  I mean, I go to church, and hear the same thing I hear on the christian radio stations, and it’s the same thing that I hear people talk about in general christian circles.  It’s a bunch of repeating of the same old, same old.  Almost like “indoctrination” if you know what I mean.

Coming to a life in Christ, I thought I was supposed to be getting what he described as “life, and life more abundantly”, but I see a bunch of dead people talking about how good he is.  I’m almost terrified of becoming like one of them.  I’m scared that I’ll become so embittered that when I see a person on fire for God, I’ll take a concious effort to douse that fire as much as possible, in order to make my lack of zeal feel less conspicuous.  What happened to the life?

  1. You made me chuckle because that’s exactly how I felt when I went back to the Church in Scotland at Christmas break. A church, I worshiped 15 years ago and nothing had changed except for people getting old.
    I am however considering getting involved with the Church to bring about that change.

  2. In the end, that’s pretty much what I’ve felt the need to do. If I can’t find it and I know what I’m looking for, what about the person that’s not exactly sure?

    I made a promise to God WAAY before I took being a christian seriously that I would BE for someone else what I couldn’t find for myself.

  3. my personal belief and purely subjective is that you are equipped by God to carry out his work!
