The pastor's sermon discussed how when we go out we represent our family, or church family, our God and that all of our actions, sayings, doings, everything, is a direct reflection.
He had a beautiful analogy that I wish more people would understand and take into consideration.
You’re not like everybody else. They have futile thinking. What’s
futile mean? Futile means without point, without purpose, without God in people’s
lives, our thinking is futile. It is without meaning. If there is no purpose,
no end goal, like a tight rope walker. If you can imagine they’re getting ready
to step out on the tight rope and one of the set crew comes up there and he says
“Hey before you go out there just want you to know we didn’t secure that other
end of the line. And by the way, we didn’t really secure this end of the line
either. But hey go out and entertain those people.”
Now how crazy would that be how futile that would be
probably fatal too.
But what do we do to you young people we say “Hey you know
what there’s no god, so after you die there’s just nothing, so there’s really no
security over there. And you know what where you came from it’s just big bang and
we’ll probably figure it out someday but there’s really no god so. Just go on
out there and enjoy your life.”
That’s why so many young people are depressed and apathetic
because there’s nothing on either end securing us and why so many people are escaping
into alcohol or entertainment. We are trying to numb the pain of this world
that seems so meaningless and pointless and futile. And where do most of us and
many of us escape into?
