Currently Listening Oh! Gravity. By Switchfoot see related

It's funny to hear my 4-year-old brother sitting at the table eating peaches and singing over and over in his innocent, high-pitched voice, "Oh! Gravity, why can't we... seem to keep it together? Oh! Gravity, why can't we, seem to keep it together? Oh! Gravity...."

If it weren't for that kid, I'd probably never post on here. Not like I do that much anyway....

Letter from an Atheist

This really convicted me. Now what am I gonna do about it?

Excerpt of an email to Ray from an atheist:

Ray,

You are really convinced that you've got all the answers.  You've really got yourself tricked into believing that you're 100% right. Well, let me tell you just one thing. Do you consider yourself to be compassionate of other humans? If you're right, as you say you are, and believe that, then how can you sleep at night? When you speak with me you are speaking with someone who you believe is walking directly into eternal damnation into an endless onslaught of horrendous pain which your 'loving' god created, yet you stand by and do nothing.

If you believe one bit that thousands every day were falling into an eternal and unreacheable fate, you should be running the streets mad with rage at their blindness.  That's equivalent to standing on a street corner and watching every person that passes you walk blindly directly into the path of a bus and die, yet you stand idly by and do nothing. You're just twiddling your thumbs, happy in the knowledge that one day that 'walk' signal will shine your way across the road.

Think about it. Imagine the horrors Hell must have in store if the bible is true. You're just going to allow that to happen and not care about saving anyone but yourself? If you're right then you're an uncaring, unemotional and purely selfish (expletive) that has no right to talk about subjects such as love and caring.

This makes me weep. What are we Christians thinking? We should be doing everything in our power to save as many as we can. Yet what do we do? We play it safe... We try not to offend people... We try not to look stupid... When are we gonna wake up?

Lord, I could be fearless in You, yet I keep clinging to my fears. Give me such a heartbreaking love for the people around me that I will go crazy if I neglect one opportunity to tell them about Your love. Only You can change me.
