Hello?! wake up!

So, i was in florida for like the past idk... 6 days or so. but on the way back something happened to me that gave me a HUGE wake up call...
so i was reading some verses for my worship team, so i would be "prepared" for friday night... and the lady sitting next to me casually said, " what are you reading?"
see, my bible is red, and kind of looks like a boring book so i replied " my bible"...
so she goes "oh, i think i have heard of that"

"OH I THINK I HAVE HEARD OF THAT?!?!?!?!"

omg... i was so shocked by her response, i am pretty sure my response made me sound like an idiot or something.. i just kind of mumbled out how it was about God and my beliefs, but believe me, if anyone is to witness to her, they are going to have to undo the confusion i caused... i mean, she wasn't from like a third world country where they are stranded from literacy, she was from NYC... NEW YORK!

the state of our nation as is, is only leading us to death. If the Christian church makes up around 80% of the nation's religious beliefs, something isn't right when a women from one of our most famous cities has hardly any knowledge of what the Bible is...

I don't want to write this and have it seem like i am judging the Church, that is NOT my intention at all. i just think its crazy that we live in this bubble of "safety" while there are millions and millions of people out there completely oblivious to the hopelessness that they are currently in the midst of. If God does not purify his church, purify ME, than how are the nations going to recieve the gospel.
all we can do is cry out that God would release purity and answer the groan of his people for something more than our bubble... we have to get out there and do something!

God,
all i can do is ask for my heart to be changed.
that you would purify the hearts of the church that we would be able to see your will, and follow your path. that we would glorify you with every world that we speak. and that all the hearts of our generation would turn to you. let us not be satisfied living under the curses of earlier generation's sins, that our hearts would be the hearts that show your love. that our mouths would be the mouths that proclaim your glory and your return. that our hands would do your works. and our eyes would look to you and only you....
amen?
