We are the most entertained generation in the history of the world.
We have the most forms of entertainment, have the shortest attention spans, and are completely bored amongst it all. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against entertainment; I enjoy my Wii and good episode of America's Funniest Home Videos (people falling down....ha...) But we are usually done with our new toys before we even throw away the wrapping.
Most student aged Christians are completely bored...with everything...including their faith...
Is this true of us adults too? (yes, I called myself an adult...i know...it's weird...) The solution may NOT be to teach people more stuff about their faith. Maybe instead the solution is to begin acting on what we already DO know and believe and understand. By acting on what we say and believe we are then living out our faith instead of it being just something that sits on our shelves everyday collecting dust.
The problem is not that we don't know enough or that our churches don't go deep enough or challenge us...the problem is that we don't challenge ourselves and act on what God already has told us...we sit...and sit...and then we come back next week and sit again.
This life can be this radical, exciting, terrifying life of joy and purpose...or it can be this boring, black and white, terrified life of frustration and church attendance...ugh
I think the difference is up to us.
