Waking your own dead.

Were you born already dead?  Sometimes I feel this way not literally but spiritually in my heart I can feel it.  I was having a conversation about this last night and all of a sudden all these revolations started coming to me, I can't just talk a big game I have to actually play.  You see lately I've been talking a lot about ministry and different decisions that should be made but I don't act on it.  Is this what Paul meant when he was talking being bold in your faith?  If that is the case then I am the most dead pastor on the face of the planet.

There's a saying out there that goes like this "Were not saved by works but for works."  This rings true I believe, I don't know how you can be a human being and not do good works the first time you make a difference in someone's life you get this high that can never be replaced, you begin to see that your life is bigger than your own and you want to have more to do with that than your own life.  I think if we examined this more we would begin to discover what it means to wake ourselves up from this sleep. 

I don't want to be the guy who talks the talk but has no actions to match it with, if I talk about being concerned about Africa then I want to do something about it, if I want to follow God wherever that may be then I want to follow, you see I want to live not live dead.  Let me leave you with these lyrics by Coldplay.

"I don't want to battle from beginning to end

  I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge

  I don't want to follow death and all of his friends."

Neither do I!
