I have to become a better Christian. I'm not a conventional Christian and when it comes to standards of Christian Living I definitely may need to take Christianity 101 again. I hate to give myself labels, but I'm not what you call someone who has been giving this the one two fight!
Don't get me wrong or rather don't mistake me as a self-loathing backsliding Christian; think of me rather as a realist at heart and someone who at times truly strives for what is right, but gets weary in well doing. I have a new outlook on my faith and my DUTIES as a Christian. It has more to do with LOVE and HELPING others than it did when I was title hungry and attention grabbing. I really want to be Christ-like and not church like. I want to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, love my neighbor, forgive, have mercy on people, love my enemies, turn the other cheek, Spread the Gospel, Preach the Gospel, and live right. I want to give God praise and SHOUT to the highest mountain how Great HE is.
I just want to be a human about it this time and not some pretentious robot stuck on how much I gave to the church and spending empty time inside church walls, getting the Word and not doing anything with it.
I want my desires to be for Christ and not for the falsehood that somehow keeping busy will save me from my sins. Christ is the only one who can save you and I've learned if you're not doing anything with your faith and beliefs you're just wasting valuable time.
