Bored?

Why is it that people become bored with Christ? Why is it that people don't want to take the time to read their bible? Why is it that people don't talk to God any more? Why is it that People that say that they are Christian's do not want to participate in any Christian events or reading? Why are people Bored?

I think it is because their faith is not properly placed in Christ Jesus and the Cross. If you are truly saved you will be like a dry sponge, with the desire for moisture. As new Christians and even Christians that are mature in their faith, many become bored with God and His Word. We should become renewed in our faith and give our life back to Him. We need to Desire The Water of Life (The Word of God).

God said that men (or women) would die for the lack of knowledge. This knowledge is not the knowledge of the World but the Knowledge of God's will for us. If we don't become thirsty we will die. If we don't become hungry we will die.

What do you do when you get hungry? Well, we all know the answer to that question. We go find ourselves something to eat. What do we do when we get thirsty? Same answer, we go and get us something to drink. What would happen if you did not drink or eat? Well, that is a easy question to answer. We would die!!!

This is the same for our spirit. We need to feed and water our spirit or it will die. It will become bored. If we feed our spirit with The Water of Life and the Bread of Life we will never hunger or thirst. We will grow in Spirit. God says to us that if we are lead by the Spirit of God then we are called The Sons of God.

He also tells us that "He is the Bread of Life" if any man hunger or thirst after righteousness they shall be filled. We should get back to our roots. We should center our faith back in our first Love "Christ and Him Crucified". We should never leave our first love, because if we do the outcome is death. If we stay centered, and keep Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified; along with the finished works of the Cross; then we shall live. We will never grow bored of Life.

God tells us he is the "Life", we must live in Him. Be in Christ Jesus always. So let us not be bored. Feed upon the Word of God, Drink in the Living Water of the Cross, and live. I say to you Live.

In The Master's Service,

This is so true. People wonder why they struggle and are defeated in life. They fail to see that it is due to the fact they have become complacent. They go to church out of routine, they don't pick up their Bible except when going to church, and they only pray when in a crisis.
We must be FAITHFUL to God. We must abide in Him if we want Him to abide in us. We must get back to our first love. When we were first saved we were so excited. That excitement should not fade but grow stronger. If we love Him the way we should, we CANNOT be bored.
