The Shower
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Taking a shower is adventurous at my house. Between the squeaky shower head, the fluctuating shower temperature, and my sister's twenty-three different types of shampoo, you will never come out without a new experience. Today, it was the water temperature. At first, it was a little on the cold side, but not too cold- not shivering cold that is. Then...ouch!...that is a little to hot for my fragile body. Then, of course, it is perfect, but only for a moment. Now it is cold...again.
I like to think of this shower as many of our Christian lives. Sometimes hot and on fire for Christ, but we should have the sticker "Subject to change without notice" on because pretty soon, we are cubes of ice. But, that is not how it is suppose to be, right? We are are suppose to have the "Caution: HOT" sticker on for good. But, that doesn't seem like the way it is.
Well, our youth group was kinda like this. After a camp or revival meetings, it would be on fire. People were willing to stop evil and do things for good. Unfortunately, usually the "camp effect" , as I like to call it, wears off pretty quickly. Typically, our youth group is in the warm mode; the very mode that Christ says that he hates the most. So, today we had a youth group talk. we talked about what was going on, and what was happening in the group, and planned how to change it. So, a prayer request: pray for the GBC youth group...that God would change hearts and allow us to become closer to him daily.
