The sermon at my bible college Friday (Oct. 17th, 2008) during Chapel was given by my ex-youth pastor, Alan. He's such a
great person. He talked about how we as people spend our time. Mostly
in Chronos - busy, timed, organized or leisurely.. instead of Kairos - willinly
giving of your time and having a joy of God in your heart. He talked
about how we work and work and work and when we have leisure time, we
don't spend it with him in our hearts. It's true too, I can see that in
myself, I won't lie about it. It is also sad. We need to spend more
time doing things in Kairos style and give everything to God. One of
the questions that he asked was, "Who are you?" In the heart of
reflection, this question is haunting and pursuing. You have to think
deeply about who you are, what you're doing with your life and how are
you giving your time to God. So heres me asking it. "WHO are YOU?" As
you think about it, so will I. I truely want to learn, cause I know
that even though I claim to be a Christian, it's always hard to resist
sin and temptation, to forget to include God in your life all the
time.. instead of just a minute here and there, or a prayer just before
bed. God wants us ALL the time, night, day, morning, evening, in the
shower, the bathroom, when your sleeping, when your eating or talking..
even while your in class. Thats the big one... well here at Central it
is because I can look around the classroom and watch as peoples play
games or talk on messenger instead of paying attention to the word of
God that's being taught. That's why I'm glad I don't have wireless
internet, I can't take my computer to class with me. Cause if I did, I
definitly know I wouldn't pay attention. I've got bad enough ADD
already without that distraction that I don't need anything else. Who
are you really? Truely? Completely? Do you belong to God or to society?
