i really felt compelled to write about what our topic was at coffee tonight with the guys. The topic was all about being complacent. The dictionary says to be compacent is "to be pleased with oneself and esp. their merits," and at the end of the definition it says "without awareness of potential danger." Let me just start off by saying that being complacent is one of the most dangerous situation that a christian can put him or herself in. What if Christ, while he was carrying the cross to the top of the hill, would have said, "well thats good enough, you get the point." When we think that we have done our part and decide to take a break we have taken ourselves out of the race, we have lowered our shields of faith and are allowing all the flaming darts from the evil one to hit us. It's writen in Rev. 3:15-" I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." Is that really how we want to approach the throne of God? As christians who decided to feel safe and comfortable where he or she was at in life. The solution to avoiding this is fellowship, prayer, and staying in the Word. You must be humble and know, expecially at our age, that we have a lot to learn and have done practically nothing. This is something I definitly struggle with and the scariest part is that it happens without realizing it. Remember that we are at our strongest when we are weak, so if you notice that you aren't really repenting as much, or that fellowship has become a chore, than knock yourself in the head and ask God for a help, because you CANNOT do it on your own. He is all that matters, and remember that He is our crutch and we are not His. Hope you all have a blessed week and continue to pray for me, I took to many steps backwords and still trying to bounce back.
