What are we doing?

Ever noticed that when you are at church a lot of people just stand up, kind of roll their eyes, sing and try to clap in time, but that is it? Have you ever asked yourself if you believe what you are singing, or has church become the sing a long that will not end? Last week I found myself asking if I believed what I sang, I cannot tell you how many times I have sung about how our God is mighty to save with absolutely no emotion. If we believe that we have been saved by the grace of God then why is it that we stand around occasionally raise our arms, while we secretly think it is nothing and that we really have not changed? We know that if someone rubs us the wrong way, chances are that the spirit of God doesn't flow out, we wish the wrath would just hurry up and consume them. Have you ever considered that those obnoxious people who cut you off, maybe flip you off, or are just plain obnoxious are the very people we are to love? Love your neighbor, Jesus said, but I can tell you that the words that came out of my mouth earlier today when that jerk cut me off were not exactly full of the spirit. Maybe that God that you "gave your life" to is still waiting for you to surrender your life. When was the last time you felt truly alive?
