I feel like I am in a season of spiritual awakening. I've been re-evaluating my relationship with God and have been seeing some spiritual truths that I've never noticed before. I tend to get pretty excited about new ideas and want to share them with anyone who will listen but I feel like with these new thoughts I don't have much of an audience.
I've been trying to talk to fellow Christians about what God's doing in my life and I've been posing questions about who God is and how we relate to Him. And everytime the only response I seem to get from people is indifference. No one's arguing with the things I'm saying or agreeing with me or really doing anything. There's no passionate response to questioning the very core of Christian living. I wasn't trying to convince anyone of anything, I just simply wanted to share my heart and pose questions to see if others were of a like mind.
More and more it seems to me that the vast majority of Christians are happy having religion spoon-fed to them in a Sunday pew. It seems that people don't want to have to think very hard about who their God really is. As if it's enough to have a preacher tell you what to believe, where to act out those beliefs, and when to act out those beliefs.
I guess the answer to my question about others being of a like mind is no. Atleast not the people I've been talking with thus far. But as I said, I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. If people approach God differently than me then fine, but at least put some thought into how you relate to God.

I know what you mean. I know I get complacent often as well, and I hate it. We're dealing with life and reality... But yeah, I grew up in a church where I'm convinced people depended more on the senior pastor than on the Lord Himself... It's a scary thing. I think that's also why Christians are making such idiots of themselves lately in public things, such as political things and such; they're rarely really in contact with God with all of His wisdom and love. How that would change us instead of living only in our own minds and others' opinions...
