How did we get here?

There has been something bothering me for some time now. I used to think that it was just me, but the more I look around the more I realize it is a much bigger problem. The thing that I have noticed is that we, as a society of believers, are becoming very static in our faith. We believe in God, and we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, but where do we go from there? The sad part is that many of us just simply stop there. No challenging. No digging deeper. We just accept the facts and move on. But the problem with this is that we don't allow our faith in Christ to be displayed in our lives. We tend to walk around with this belief that the world owes us something, that we deserve better than what society is giving us. We don't push each other to think or to actually sacrifice something, but instead we sit back and do absolutely nothing and become incredibly selfish. Our mindset has shifted and now in our relationships with Christ, we search for areas in which He can bless us. The tragic part is that through this lens of selfishness, we have lost all recollection of what our faith is really about. We no longer live a life that shows Christ's love to others and we are actually living a life that goes against everything that He died for.

When did it become all about us?
When did we lose sight of the cross?
Can we ever get back to the root of our faith and live that life that points others to Christ and His love for them?

Lucky for us, our God is a God of forgiveness, grace, and second chances.

"Oh Your cross, it changes everything. There my world begins again with You.
Oh Your cross, it's where my hope restarts...a second chance is Heaven's heart."
