{God is serious. so maybe we should be too}.

"this is a cause worth living for. it is a cause worth dying for. it is a cause worthy of moving urgently on. we have the gospel of Christ in us, and we do not have time to waste. some wonder if it is unfair for God to allow so many to have no knowledge of the gospel. but there is no injustice in God. the injustice lies in Christians who possess the gospel and refuse to give their lives to making it known among those who havent heard. that is unfair." (Radical by David Platt)

   lately i have been becoming more and more frustrated with Christians who claim to be doing the work of Christ, and yet not! in fact, sometimes its the complete opposite!Jeremiah 2:19 states that "your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. consider then, and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me', declares the Lord, the Lord Almightly"(this verse was used because i read it in my devotions. there are, of course many different verses and different context)
   i think, many times, we forget the wrath side of God. we justify our actions based on the fact that our God is merciful, forgiving, loving..etc. yes, He is all things and more, but we still will be held accountable.
   its time to start being more respectful of our Savior, Creator, Father and Daddy.no more justifying, no more listening to false prophets, no more beating around the bush with your friends/family.
   take God seriously. He is, and has, already been very serious.
