Why have I decided to start a blog? For the simple reason of, so many teenagers don't seem to get that they are wasting their lives away into the little bunches of nothingness they'll be once they die. Kids today don't seem to understand Jesus, or why He came to die. They don't want to accept Him because they think that they will be called names or spit on if they do. And they probably will, too. But I can remember the girl in my driver's ed class last summer who said that she wasn't ready to die. No one laughed or called her names. They stared. Maybe because they felt the same thing but didn't want to say it. The problem with churches is that they're getting bigger and bigger and the ministry is getting smaller and smaller, and pretty soon, there won't be anything left of them but some crumbling bricks and spiders dangling lazily down from their webs.
That's life. Things die, rot, and totally become nothing.
And that's why a blog, or writing in general, has become so important to me. If the kids get the news that Jesus isn't something to be ashamed of, then maybe they'll believe. If Christians actually took care of their lives, then much of the divorce, suicide, and the utter destruction taking place in the world right now probably wouldn't even happen. The slavery, poverty, hurt, pain—it would all be gone, and every man, woman, and child would have the chance to accept God before they died. Wait. That would be a perfect world, wouldn't it? I guess that's not going to happen any time soon, but we can try.
