Post state of the reunion

This past weekend I mixed and mingled with friends and aqaintances that I haven't seen nor heard from in 10 years or better. I will admit, that despite what I anticipated, it turned out to be an enjoyable event. I can't begin to describe the thoughts and emotions that rose like the tide within me as I reflected on what once was and to be honest, I couldn't be happier. There is no comparison when thinking of the life that God has given me now and the life God delivered me from then. What had I done to deserves such blessings? The answer is nothing. God is just making much of Himself by dispensing some grace, of which I am a gratefully proud recipient. However, in the midst of my joy I mangaged to find sorrow in the fact that many, if not most, had no recognizable difference in terms of spirituallity. Yet, I sat in my chair next to my beautiful wife and was humbled by the notion that God would rescue me from an otherwise inescapable path, give me a wife that has a desire to grow in Christ, be theologically sound, who supports me in my calling and He is allowing me to be a part of leading His church is all a bit overwhelming. I wanted to look out across the room and scream out "ITS ALL A WASTE....REPENT!!!!!" Oh how I wish for a revival to sweep our nation for the glory of God. I am forever grateful that God has given me grace and faith so that I could be saved. I pray for that same salvivic grace to fall on the lives of those who have made idols for themselves and who have exalted creation over creator. There is a sad indictment against humanity with regards to our idolatry. Jesus is not an accesory nor a trinket that adds certain flair to spiritual cosmetics. However, unfortunately, thats what most have made Him. Far to many are sacrificing the Lordship of our soveriegn King on the altar of idolatry. REPENT!
