Comfortably Numb, Or Simply Naive?

as I look ar history coming to an end at the desires and on the timetable of WHO made time what it is...

I am a little than more concerned about our lack of knowledge about the signs of the time, or, I am probably ghastly offended at tha lack of concern for the reality of this screaming from Scripture itself. Simply Naive


people rising up proclaiming what to eat and what not to eat, people gathering for themself those who would tickle their ears, people being decieved by old wives tales, philosophies and endless debates that divide and cause no good thing for the salvation of man nor the ultimate glorification of God Himself. Simply Naive

I few years I was able to go on a deep sea trip with all the staff at our church. someone, the bank I think, to thatnk us for spending so much on finance charges, took all 13 staffers out to fish for the day.

took a couple of dramamine. got out to the spot, caught the first trigger fish, went below and slept the rest of the trip. missed the whole thing. comfortably numb.

when I was a senior in HS, several of us went to a concert at the MS coast collisium.
drinking and smoking on the way down left one of our compadres a bit worse for wear. he passed out and missed the whole show. Comfortably Numb

christians are missing the point and getting to caught up in politics and are missing the slow violent take over by a religion whose primeary aim is to kill jews and chrstians. Simply Naive

our viligence seems to have caught a twinkle out of our perifery and that bright shiny twinkeling thing is a prosperity gospel. have your best now. God has to bless you with wealth. after all, we are america. home of freedom of religion. Simply Naive

all the while, the middle east looks at us like a 6 year old getting in the way of a soccer game. Simply Naive

slowly but surely, our prominance will fade. Simply Naive

the issue will always be a Philistine and Israel thing. we will not be a player in that. read the book. it is happening and the focus is not on us. Comfortably Numb

however, our focus out to be about the buisness of the church. people still need dynamic pastors to lead flocks to spread the Gospel. Comfortably Numb

we still need to clothe folks and feed folks. we still need to be holy and righteous.

we still need to remain viligent, determined to carry out that which He left us with.

we must notallow Him to return and see us in a vegetative state.

we must not allow Him to see our drunkedness of self worth and status, I pray He does not smell the purfum we spay on us to cover the stench of idolotry.

we must continue to be the bulwark, the light house and most of all the truth speakers.

or have we becoem so compromised with sin that our words of truth sound to much like the politicians and wealth gospel followers.

Comfortably Numb

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more ...Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
