The Power to Live an Affective Saved Life Without Trying to Appeal to Everyone The other day I heard someone say “I’m out of the Box.” And at first I almost agreed, but what I realized was that everyone is out of the box. I say that because every person has there own individuality. Even as a Godly believer, God deals with each individual according to their faith and thinking, and that’s what makes each of us different. Most of the time believers in the 21st century, feel that they have to try and do something extreme in order to be acknowledged for their uniqueness and ability. Even the Church has changed from what it was 30 years ago. An indication of that is that we have thrown away spirituality for carnal thinking, hoping to gain more creditability with people who don’t even care nor want to live saved. This generation of the 2000’s has spent so much time trying justify why they do things different than most traditional church people, that it sounds convincing until you find out that they are trying to appeal to man without the truth of God’s Word, which leads to a misconception about Godly believers. We have chosen looking for more convenient ways to entice and draw large crowds to churches instead of providing true and sound spiritual information. We have replaced that with praise dancers, and other fillers to make us feel that we have grown and improved how we do things. In actuality we have provided substitutes for real spirituality because most people understand that living holy is something you can’t recreate it is original and can’t be duplicated. People are not looking for the Church to loosen it’s standards, they just want us to be consistent, willing to adapt to the situations that come our way and use the word of God as the antibiotic ointment to heal and change the lives of people we encounter. Let’s find ourselves living the word of God instead of trying to find carnal situations that will not work for our lives.
