Christians are Focused on Themselves

Christians' focus is in the wrong direction. Listen to the prayers look at the activities. Christians are focused on themselves.

Christians are thankful for their blessings? What blessings? God has nothing to do with what they have. If they did not work they would not eat. That is not a blessing from God. It is reality. Is God cursing the people who do not have enough to eat or is are they starving because they are unable to find food? When an individual does not have the money to buy food is God cursing them? No, and he is not blessing those who do have the money. Christians are thankful when a child is born healthy. God has nothing to do with that. Has God cursed the parents of a child with physical or mental challenges? Christians ask God to heal friends and family from disease but do not expect him to do it? Christians pray for safety and security. Is God cursing individuals who die in accidents or are victims of crimes? No and neither is he protecting Christians from the same. Christians believe God, who created the universe and everything in it both visible and invisible CAN but they do not believe he WILL and James says that is the earmark of a failed request.

Sure Christians do some charitable activities but only when and if it is convenient. Sure Christians help some poor but only to the extent their "sacrifice" does not interfere with what they want to do such as buy things or go on vacations. Christians do not ask "What will it take? Christians ask "What can I afford?" Christians have to decide if "God blesses them with riches so they can go on vacations or but nice cars and houses or if God blesses them so they can help others or God has nothing to do with their circumstances.

Christians say they are God's face, hands and feet on earth but they do not believe it nor do they act like it. How many prayers have you heard in which Christians ask God to comfort or heal or even to save an individual from sin and then sit back and wait? If Christians are God's face, hands and feet on earth God will comfort, heal or save through them.

Christians need to wake up. God is active in the physical world only as much as his followers are active and no more.
