I have to agree with Jill, it's as if Christians today just seem to come to Church because it's the "thing to do." There is no depth to their worship, to their studies, to their passion for Christ. Sometimes I will be teaching a very deep issue concerning our Lord, and all I see looking back at me are empty eyes. It saddens me so much. People have become so shallow and materialistic, so self-absorbed that they can't even concentrate long enough on the Lord and His Word to gain any benefit. How heartbroken He must be.

My major concern is being unable to reach a lost soul in a manner that would quickly compel him or her to believe in the redemptive acts of Christ and turn back to God our Father the source of all needs. Many of the young people in my culture desire the Kingdom life although they do not what to follow the path least traveled to obtain it. The way Christ taught. Some of the resistance is due to erroneous teaching and a lack of dedicated leaders who are not all wrapped up into self interest. I feel a constant mourning in my spirit for the young men and women of my culture who are truly lost and do not recognize that undesirable conditions can be turned around if only they would trust and obey God way of doing things.

Lack of finances to pay staff properly and to do the ministry. The irony of a pastor's lifestyle where we are so consumed with ministry that we don't have time for non-christian friends, or for serving our neighbor in need. And the pressure on my marriage. A cranky wife at home is no fun and makes ministry a greater burden than God intended.

What keeps me up at night as a pastor is the blatant disreguard of connectedness of christians in the same fellowship. we as the body of christ don't express the love of Jesus. I am convinced that preachers,teachers, writers and others have done a grave misservice to the cause of Christ. The expression of His love, the exhibition of His love is based on the existance of His love. Jesus' love does exist because Jesus Himself exists. This love is not optional. The examination must begin at the pastor level. A song form days gone by asks the question clearly..."where is the love?" Jesus wants to know.

What bothers me continuously is what example are we setting and showing for our youth. The old saying "Do as I say not as I do" is obsolete. We talk about how bad our youth are and what they are doing, but are we taking a close look in the mirror at ourselves?
