Bored to Death

I'm starting to hate boredom. I'm not talking about a grudge, I HATE it. I hate boredom because it of all the problems it causes, and because of its origin. A lot of people would say that the Bible is boring. Really, the creative and redemptive story of mankind is boring? It is the story of our family line, and of history altering battles. Yeah, that book is boring, but Twilight and Harry Potter are thrilling...Even if you aren't religious the Bible is thrilling. Just remember that it's non-fiction.
Church is boring too right? Same old guy giving you the same old message. Church isn't all about the preacher or the music, it's about family. The church is the bride of Christ, not 2 hours on Sunday mornings.
There is a lot of sitting at home bored too. Why complain about being bored at home when you have a car and cash in the bank? Why not go out and do something with the resources we've been blessed with? Don't turn into somebody who complains about an easily fixable situation.
Here's the worst part about boredom- it becomes sinful. Boredom is a little tiny virus that infects the whole body. We sin when we are wrapped in boredom. Men will sit in front of a t.v. alone and surf the channels for some skin because we are bored. Women will scrape up some gossip because it's something better to do than what they're doing at the time. Most of us will eat when we're bored. We aren't hungry, but it's something to do right? Lust, gossip, gluttony are all easy distractions. Why are we bored enough to do that?
Grace must not be so amazing to some people. We are acting like grace isn't enough to keep us satisfied. Are we bored of that? Is playing it safe with your boyfriend/girlfriend so that you can have a pure marriage boring? Is watching movies without cussing and nudity too boring? Is God's glory, his purpose, his magnificence too boring for our fickle little brains? We are becoming bored to death. The wages of boredom is sin, and the wages of sin is death. I'm not crazy about being a dead man.
How are we supposed to avoid this deadly problem? It's simple, do all kinds of boring, hard things. Read you Bible, pray alone intimately with your Father, pray with your fellow saints, stay clear of R rated type stuff, work hard at your job, leave no question in anyone's mind that you belong to Jesus Christ. Stop being bored, and start being radical. We can't afford armchair Christianity.They will know us by our love, saints.
