Sometimes the things we want most in life are the things that will end up killing us
-Donald Miller
Don has got some strong words in that previous sentence. Did you now just realize he's right? Our nature as human beings is to completely please ourselves and put others second, even God. Naturally, we try to do the bare minimum as Christians just to get rid of that guilt feeling we have so we can go back to our demeaning and selfish lives without thinking that we are this way. We can't get away with just the bare minimum, God knows our hearts and what we truly want in life. As we come back from Spring Break, I've been infested with stories from "Christians" that had a fantastic week indulging themselves in impurity and lust and feel no guilt or regret what so ever. God has wiped the earth once because of people's attitudes like this and I think this time it won't be this easy. If you take a closer look at the times now, It's not the same anymore. Everything is changing, slowly yes, but changing. Jesus is returning sooner than you think and I personally believe He will return while we are still alive. Ask yourself, are you living for your own pleasures or something greater?
