you fail, I fail, we all fail. hooray.

Alright I suppose that is a little depressing.

But it is entirely true. I sit around the youth office and we have discussions about Christian media and how much it makes Jesus cringe. So I'll just go down the list of what makes Jesus cry.

Christian Media
Christian Music
The Church
The World
You
I

sooo everything?

Most of this is the ME factor.

We are selfish and cannot see beyond our own goals, dreams or accomplishments.

Isaiah 2:22 Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?

This is not a natural phenomena, nor is it a recent one.
This thing called, sin (what is sin? sin is anything that is not a part of, or perfect or righteous in God) it came in and separated man from God, it put us on the outside looking in so to speak. It introduced a selfish agenda into our nature instead of a God centered agenda.
It's not recent either. Go back in time and you find examples of biblical proportions of selfish ambition and vain conceit (Philipplians 2:3). Moses, out of selfishness beat the rock to get water out of it when he was told to just speak of it. Adam and Eve wanted to be "like god" and ate the fruit.

To dig down under the surface we see most of these huge moral failings happen when man begins to rely upon either another human or themselves for strength and understanding. It happens to everyone in some way, shape or form (1 Corinthians 10:13). There are also right and wrong ways to deal with it.

The sooner we start realizing that everyone is at fault and begin relying on God and not man the sooner we can rectify the situation and begin NOT grieving God in all of the trivial things. I'm not there yet either. I grieve God daily.

Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
