We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less
We have bigger houses and smaller families
More conveniences, but less time
More knowledge, but less judgement
More experts, but more problems
More medicine, but less health
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry too quickly,
watch too much TV, and pray too seldom
We multiplied what we have, but reduced our values
We talk too much, lie too often and love too seldom
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life
We've added years to life, not life to years
We've been all the way to the moon,
but can't cross the street to meet the new neighbor
We've done larger things, but not better things
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul
plan more but accomplish less
We've learned to rush, but not to wait
We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
more acquaintances, but fewer friends;
We've become long on quantity, but short on quality
These are the times of fast food and slow digestion;
of tall men and short character;
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;
of fancier houses to hold broken homes;
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers,
throwaway morality, and pills that do everything;

These are the days when we really need Christ!
These are the days when we need some stability. We need to stand on firm
footing because the world around is constantly changing. Our families, our
children need to see someone standing up and saying what is right and what
is wrong . We need some people who want just go with the crowd and chase
the empty values espoused by television and the world. We need people who
make a stand and make a stand on a firm foundation.
There is only one sure foundation. It is the Rock that never fails. It is the
Lord Christ Jesus. You see these are days when we need Christians who will
take their place and follow the righteous teachings of the Lord. People whop
will choose to be right, walk right and live right in a world that is constantly
changing with whatever wind that blows.
Will you be that kind of person? Will you follow the path that leads to a
better life and to a better world? Then now is the time to make a stand. Now
is the time to rededicate your life to living like Christ wants you to live. How?
Just ask the Lord to help you be the person He wants you to be and then
follow His instruction book.. The Bible! If you need help in learning more
about the person God has called you to be.. Contact us.. We want to help. |
