The Present Age & Christian Values

I know many of you have probably been thinking along the same lines I have; in the realms of concern for the age we live, and our christian faith. Things are not looking to good when comparing the present day values to the values of Jesus. If we compare values we could very well find ourselves on fire.

The point I'm trying to make is, we really need to reevaluate our way of life. We cannot go on sinning for ever. There has to be a time when we realize that greed has gotten out of control and lust is a sickness eating at our people souls.

Until we come to the knowledge that we are not in control, we will never know what control control is (metaphorically speaking).This of course is metaphysical, as is the Christian faith but true none the less. We at a fault never seem to look deeper into our reasoning behind much of anything. This puts us at an evolutionary disadvantage.

 If we are incapable of weeding through our thoughts, to chose "rights-thought" & the "wrong-thoughts"; how can we ever expect to evolve into higher spiritual beings? The ability to commune with the holy spirit is in-part, the ability to weed out all the other junk in our lives. To except that which only comes by the Holy spirit is truth. Truth is rear in the present world we live in, and this clouds our thoughts. 

This is leaving everyone at a disadvantage in the departments of virtue.Overcoming is not going to be possible if people keep a door open for sin. The Holy Spirit responds to a Christians wants and a need for the goodness of God. If you are not totally committed then the spirit of God knows this and will not bother, receiving only part of our time. 

  After all this is God we are talking about, not a buddy or a coworker, but The One True living God. Who do we think we are that we allot a time of the week, a couple days or even an hour a day for God. That is some what presumptuous on our part to think God would wait around for us; to give him the time of day. Does this not sound as ridiculous as it is? Because it is, people live their lives this way trained from child-hood. Seeking god on Sunday and then moving on with their lives in the world the rest of the week.

 This  my friends gives no hint to any spiritual chance for evolving but in retro spec, shows our future backsliding in humanity. If we cannot commit to God 24/7 then we are not worthy of his gifts. This is what  "Living the way", means; living Souly for God,  and wanting nothing but God. Seeking for God in everything around us. Any thing else after the fact (of awareness) is only effort wasted.

Mind you we must remember that we cannot judge, we must leave that up to God. Our part in this is merely to awaken others to help in this very same passion.
