We we get crunk for Jesus

So I leave for camp tomorrow which means I won't be able to write as often, and when I write it will probably be something about camp. I'm pumped to get back to camp. I didn't really want to leave, but I did.

After every meal while we're cleaning up and waiting to be dismissed there are a number of chants, songs, and games that begin in the dining hall at camp. My favorite is (of course) "We we get crunk for Jesus". Everybody at one table stands up, pounds on the table, and shouts "We we get crunk for Jesus" three times then asks "Do you get crunk for Jesus?" and passes it to the next table. Just so we're clear, the original definition of getting crunk is getting really excited and pumped up.

So why don't we get crunk for Jesus?

I have met a hand full of people who do, but most Christians aren't excited about their Lord and savior, or at least they don't show it. Why?

If we truly believe that the Bible is God's word and it really is holy then why aren't we excited to read it every chance we get?

If we have even the slightest idea of how far we've fallen, and know that we're still loved and forgiven then why aren't we bursting with joy and longing to tell everyone?

If we really believe that God is our father and He listens and talks with us then why do we hesitate when someone asks for a volunteer to pray?

If we really believe in God's grace and his power then why aren't we excited and ready to carry out his will, and be a part of his work?

I don't pretend have any answers. I just pose questions.

I recently watched the new Narnia movie "Prince Caspian", and probably the best part of that movie is when Lucy and Susan are talking and Susan asks "Why didn't I see Aslan (slash Jesus )?" and Lucy replies "Maybe you didn't really want to."

Do we really want to see Jesus in our lives?

There are a lot of questions to be asked, and a lot of them we may never know the answer to. All I know is I'm a child of God. Shouldn't that be enough?

Because of his grace and for his glory.
