How many times have you been present among gatherings of “Christians”, where you mentioned revival, and no one perked up? You tried to get a conversation going about some Bible passage, and then someone brought up the super bowl or the latest movie. What happened? Everyone was suddenly interested. These are Christians who are asleep in Christ and awake to the things of the world.
What elicits responses in your own heart? What excites you? What gets you out of your chair and heading for some activity?
The true answer may come as a shock to you. It is almost as though the world has taken a spiritual sedative. We are asleep at the wheel. Church services are a bore. Living for God has become a bore. God’s Word just is not as exciting as it used to be.
Or is it? Are we the ones who are out of step? A great percentage of the Christian segment of the world’s population has been lulled to sleep by Satan’s hypnotic lures. We believe when the Holy Spirit gave the words to the Apostle Paul, He was putting them there for Christians in this day as well.
Wake up, Christian world! Sleeping Christians are not going to have an alarm clock just before the Rapture.

As for me and my house...
As for me and my house, we are not bored; but I do feel that I'm under attack, more than usual; it doesn't help with the latest rock throwing by my Church's presbytery; although I faithfully attended and gave time, talent and tithe for 3+ years, their response towards me was "they don't see me as a Christian"; although I may be presently in a wilderness, I'm not planning on pitching a tent. --Joe
