As of late I have been trying something I have not done before and I must say that it has been an interesting discovery about people and about myself.
Even looking into the lives of believers, there are so many people who are still living so much for this world and the things that it offers. The pleasures of life that comes with it is something people are going after and continually pursuing on a regular basis, and would generally makes those pursuit as essentials to life. That being said, I am not against certain pleasures here on earth but there is a point where it does not define us as believers, it should not be.
People are still living for this world in the most superficial sense. This again, is not a judgement from my side but to tell me how far I have come from what I used to know myself many years back. I am not completely changed but I do to an extent and seeing myself 10 years back would surprise me in many ways.
New York City is one of the most sought after places to live in for young professionals. The richness and diversity of this place makes it a never ending discovery playground for grownups. Thus, believers are more interested in exploring this city with their free time, than to find themselves serving the needy around them.
The church in New York City needs to change this and bring to light the urgency to participate in His will, because time is running out...
