Lazy Christian
Yeah. I'm talking about you. You who got that pedicure. Did you know that with the money you spent on that pedicure you could have freed 68 children from worms?
And that Starbucks coffee you Christian rockstars buy more than three times a week. Did you know you could have fed more than 9 children for a day?
You American Christians disgust me. Did you know that there are Christians FROM America who are risking their lives in different countries? I know of a guy who lives in Afghanistan right now. He is risking his life teaching and preaching to men and women. But what are you doing? Going to church? Feeding the homeless once a month? Donating some old clothes? Great job. That's just amazing. You're doing so much to further his kingdom. 2 Timothy 1:8 "So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God." Are you suffering for God? I highly doubt it. Suffering because you are testifying about him? Probably not.

It seems like Christians in America are just waiting for Jesus to come back. They aren't doing anything to further his kingdom. They're just sitting around. It drives me crazy! There's this aching in my soul that just makes me want to go out and knock some sense into Christians in this disgusting country. Do you not know that hundreds of people are dying every single day? Why aren't you doing anything about it? Why? I don't understand you. At all. Why is it so important to buy the best house, your favorite furniture, matching dishes? Can't you be satisfied with the many clothes and shoes you have instead of constantly buying more and more? Aren't you ever satisfied? You are so selfish. Everything you do is about yourself. You barely do anything for Jesus. He gave his whole life for you, and you can't even stop spending money on things that you can't take with you to heaven. Everything you buy here stays here. When you get to heaven, are you going to look back and say, " Man, all those spas and pedicures were such a good investment." Yeah, I doubt it. Maybe you should think before you spend.
Matthew 28:19-20"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is supposed to be our life. Can you really ask yourself if you're doing this and say, "Yes."?
Our life on this earth is so short! It may seem long, but compared to eternity, it's short. Think about the unsaved. They are being damned to hell. And what are you doing about it? You have the greatest gift of all, Jesus' love and salvation, and you are hiding it from this world! Why? Because you're ashamed of it? Because you are so caught up in the pleasures of this world? Because you don't have time? Think about it.

Do you think Paul would have gone on a cruise? Would Mary Magdalene have gone to the spa once a month? You're so obsessed with consumerism. That's all you think about: what else can I get? what else can I spend my "hard earned" money on? Did you ever stop to think that heaven will have all this? Why do you need it here on earth? Why can't you spend your "hard earned'' money and save starving children? Stop abortion. Give clean water. Buy animals for needy families. Send children to school. Get teenagers out of the sex trafficking. But no. It's all about you isn't it? Stop being so selfish!
I desperately want to leave America. I hate it here. I hate all the distractions it provides us(me) with. I hate spending my money on lame things that I later regret. I hate living with selfish Christians. I want to go to a country where there aren't as many distractions. Is there such a thing? Is it selfish to want to leave here? I don't know......
[ Just in case you think I'm "judging you"(since everyone hates that so much), this isn't centered on one person or on anyone in particular. And when I say you, I mean me too. I know I'm "lazier" than I should be as a follower of Christ, but I'm changing that.]
I hope you use this passion and compassion to help those people truly suffering. Try not to turn your disgust of the 'lazy American Christians' into anger and hatred. I know you know that already, but I see people often who have incredibly strong convictions about things who look down on people for not also having the same ones rather than using the convictions to live better for God. I'm glad you're not afraid to stand up for the suffering and for God, approach it with compassion and love rather than disgust.
