Nonoptionables

It occurred to me just before I prepare to go to sleep for the night that there are some things we regard as "not for me" or "options" in Christianity ... but we have simply labeled them so. *We feel no intent nor drive to care for our spiritual babies in the church. They should simply be told once what to do and that ought to take care of it. Thankfully, we do not treat our own human babies this way. Mentoring is a lost art and most of our people have rejected it in favor of arguing about clapping, church hopping, and working on ways to not let Christianity interfere too much with our lives. *We feel no intent nor drive to teach the gospel to the lost. We think someone should, of course. For the most part this has been abandoned so that we can circle our wagons and try to hang on to our identity ... and anyone who wants to walk in and look like us is welcomed. People who walk in that do not look like us are expected to conform to status quo. Some nice thougths to consider as I drift off to sleep. By the way, does anyone have a cure for insomnia?
