HARD THINKING ABOUT REALITY

I was looking through some of my sermon notes and came across this. It was written in 1st July 2010- that's about 3 years ago ..........
----------------------------
"I am constantly THINKING ALOUD my thoughts about life – revisiting the ageless purpose of God for my life. I call this discipline of mine HARD THINKING ABOUT REALITY. I am never satisfied with a mediocre lifestyle; mundane, routine, and smooth sailing through the sea of non-involvement in what is happening in our culture, society, and nation. In my HARD THINKING ABOUT REALITY I ventured to contemplate about my own spirituality – my personal walk with the Lord. The danger for many of us who have been long-time believer is the fact that we can become a “professional”. By that it means that we can get so familiar in our Christianity; routinely doing what is considered as necessary like praying, quiet time, church attendance, etc BUT really not being able to raise our loyalty, our commitment, and our involvement in God’s business to the next level. In my own spiritual quest I found myself struggling even in making sense of all the things I do supposedly for Him! Some months ago I was rudely awoken to the fact that I have not taken my life on earth seriously….I was just careening through the highway of life at a fast speed and crisscrossing through the maze of ministry all the time thinking I was at my best. In one of my still moments with the Lord He spoke to my heart about how faulty I view my life – my physical health, my thought-life, my spiritual aptitude, and my motivation in serving Him."
