Marinating

on the following thoughts that I have read over the past week or so

In a society that commends greed....many believers have become pretty greedy spiritually.

Consequently, the focus of 20 somethings has become less about building mature relationships and fulfilling responsibilities, and more about enjoying oneself, traveling, and trying on identities and relationships.

These quotes were from 2 seperate but related articles.
They kind of go along with what I have been thinking about the last few weeks. We have a great party to look to in Heaven, but it seems like we are taking advantage of that party now, and not doing the work that needs to be done so the celebration will be fitting. We seem to think we are put here to enjoy everything, but we are put here to do to what God has asked us to do......which is to spread the message that He is able to reconcile sinners to himself and there is a great celebration to come. I wonder, do we need to hold off on our celebration and be about the work of the Lord with more enthusiasm?
