thoughts and things; thrifty throwing thieves

So lately I've been thinking about a lot of concepts that god has floating around in my head.
Like for one, I think God, or maybe just me; is a little upset at the little things that divide us as a body of christ. The christian faith is desperately in need of unity. Why should non-believers take us seriously as another way of living life, if we can't even follow what we believe and stress so fervently. We are to follow after Christ and what he did. Some of the little things that divide us are so miniscule that it makes me wonder whether or not athiests and other groups just sort of laugh at us and call us hypocrites. I feel a bit like a hypocrite when we can't even get along; neigh, sometimes get in spirited debates (lets not call them fights) over some really; well for lack of better word; stupid things.


Also, I've been thinking about what it really means to follow Christ; and not our heart. Too many times we think that what we feel is what is right. Oh man is that so wrong. My heart is off on so many things I kind of just want to tell it to shut up sometimes. God needs to be in control so we can change our state of heart. So many times we honestly and truly believe that what we are doing is of God, when we are really just rolling around in a pit of mud that is our sin. We really need to take daily time to question what we do and our reasoning behind it. Like deeply considering what we do when no one is looking (God always is-which can be kinda creepy to think about to peole new in their faith, but is usually the exact thought we need to help us get out of what we're in).


now for some time with God.


peace.
