I always loved R.E.M. For a time when I was a teenager the Burger King I used to hang out at had a jukebox and I would play Losing My Religion all the time. Awesome song!
For some people thier "relationship" with Jesus gets very "religious"...I'm sure we have all met a few whos' "relationship" is more legalistic than the Pharasees' and Saducees combined.
I wonder sometimes....When we feel like we are the most fired up for God....are we actualy farther from him......and when we feel ..far from him..is he actually closer to us than we know? Often someone who is really on"the front lines for Jesus" exhibits a kind of disgusting spiritual arrogance and pride....that is actually hard to watch.
Times are bad for everyone right now.....Those mountain experiences are the best.....but they are a mile wide an inch deep....rollercoasters are fun too but not for the long haul....Times like these make you question yourself....and those questions take us into deeper waters...But He sits apon the flood!
to you both, mountain tops are fun to see the world from, what the possibilities are, but the valleys are what make you grow in faith, the hard time when you truly lean on Him, and see Him work. when i keep a constant conversation going through out the day with Him, it's when i stay closest to Him. when i hear, for example on the radio or tv, of an accident or need of a fellow human being, i immediantly go to Him in prayer, but more as a one on one discussion. i know this sounds a little weird, but i find it keeps me close and in check with Him. i'm just not an hour long prayer-once-a-day type, but rather as the need arises. i don't put myself above others, i'm here to serve, as Christ did, He is our example to follow. i am no better than anyone else. times are tough for us all, and as long as we do what we can to ease the burden for those we can who we see who need it around us, maybe we can make it through these rough times. i've gone through hell medically and with family situations, but as long as i keep Him first, i know i've done all i can and have no regrets. things don't go as i plan, but as He plans, and as i later see, for the better. as you say, mountain tops are a mile apart, but you can keep a possitive outlook, and joyful heart, with constant service to and communication with God. blessings1
It was all emotional froth... no substance. We all have our moment.. but it is in picking up our cross, it is in dying to self..
...what you describe is the same thing teeny-boppers experience at their first Justin Bieber concert....hysteria, nothing more.. like you said, "...fired up"
Dude, why are you still spewing? You don't know me or anything I have experienced or will experience! I have seen to power of God and will see great things in my life! It nothing too do with feelings, emotions, it all about faith!
The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil! It never said money was evil! I has just recently had the ability to help a friend out that is unemployed with a sizeable amount of money! I would not been able to do it if I was not blessed! How can you be a blessing when you are not blessed? Get all that stinking religious crap out of your mind and think about it!
I loge this song and the vid is amazing
It all about relationship!
