If you're too cool to come to church, then why come? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the kids who come with their friends and have never been. No, that's not it at all. I'm talking about the same group of kids, who have been to church forever, and know exactly how to act. But I guess knowledge means nothing, because they sure don't act like they should. No, Fools is more like it. It's gotten ridiculous and out of hand. On wednesday nights, I see the same group of kids, who think they're too good to listen to the lesson, and assume they just know everything there is to know about God, and just sit and laugh and talk and stare at everyone else when worship's going on. They're constantly laughing and talking and texting during the lesson, and the invitational is just a mere time to sit there and be respectful for about ten seconds before leaving. So what's the point of even going? I mean, you're obviously way too good to listen or even act like you care. You don't give any one else who wants to worship respect, especially God. Realize that this is God's house. Not "your church". You spit in God's face when you act like that. But i guess you're to wrapped up in your own selfishness to realize it. It's really ridiculous. If you just want to hang out and chat, go to the mall, the movies, a restaurant, anywhere! I'm tired of the fact that by you not setting an exmaple, or even just being quiet, you could be letting someone's life slip through your fingers. If you just really don't care that much, then all I can do is pray for you and hope that you change. So if you're reading this, I challenge you to take this next step. Even if you think "well maybe that's me." "that's not me at all." or "how dare she right that about me, I want you to take my challenge. For the next week, until next Wednesday night, I want you to pray that God gives you an attitude of worship. I challenge you to pray that you have the strength to pay attention,and be quiet. I challenge you to pray that maybe if this isn't you, the people who it is, will see the error of their ways, and then fix it. Go ahead and take my challenge. I promise you, my God is a God of miracles. Let him show off his work.

linds you've definitely got the attitude of everyone who goes to church to learn about God and worship Him. i must say however that if they shut their mouths just long enough to hear exactly what God needs them to hear to change their lives that THAT is a miracle for them. and while they may not be paying attention and they may be truely distractive, at least they're in the habbit of attending which is better than being at a party, if at least for that one night of the week.
Linds, I agree with you whole-heartedly. One person, who has been visiting and is UNSAVED, does not enjoy our youth. The person has said that the people there are fake, meaning that they act one way at church and another way at school. Poor Jesus, I know it grieves his heart. I guess these persons don't understand that when you are being distracting, you are ultimately causing someone else to stumble...or to even miss out on an opportunity that will impact his/her eternity. The thing is, these persons will be held accountable to God. I dont know about you, but Ihave enough flaws I have to face Him about, I think I will pass on distracting someone at church.
Thanks for your insightful blog, and I sure hope someone that needs it will read...
