Get Serious!

So i am departing from song inspired blogs and transitioning to conversation inspired blogs, which tend to be my favorite : )

I recently had two conversations which called into question how I would relive high school and what I would do differently.  It took little hesitation for I instantly knew what I would have changed if I could have gone back.

When I was in High School I lived under the allusion that there was no real pressing need to get super serious about being a Christian.  I was a good kid and did all the right things but never had that ADAMANT desire to grow and seek after God and Jesus in a radical manner.  It grieves me that I wasted away years of my life being just a mediocre Christian!  So my challenge to my readers is, are you getting serious?

PLEASE do not waste another moment in getting serious about your faith.  Time is a gift we take for granted.  We feel that we deserve life and we are so wrong!  We deserve nothing but death and it is a gift that we are allowed to go on living given the disgusting nature of our sins and our rebellion against God.  So we must understand that now is the time to get serious!  Why wait? Are we putting it off because we want to have fun or have a good "high school experience" or "college experience".  This is complete and utter foolishness!!  If this is what we believe, then we are in love with the world and what Satan has to offer.  It shows that we enjoy the vain passing pleasures of this life as opposed to the eternal joy that God offers.  And furthermore, what makes of think that we will ever get serious?  There will always be excuses and it never becomes easier later in life to get serious for the distractions and responsibilities pill up which is why it is so crucial that we get our priorities right now!

So, get serious!  Start living radically for Jesus Christ today!  Forget what your friends will think or what fun you think you might be missing out on.  You are commanded and called to get serious today and if you say that you are a Christian than this is what you MUST do!  Satan is very serious in how he attacks you(1 Peter 5) so shouldn't you get serious in how you respond?  There is a battle going on and if you aren't living seriously for Christ then you are losing and it is a complete and utter travesty.  So please, let us all realize, by the grace of God, that we must get serious and start living radically for Christ today, or we may never will.
