A quick song

And as I said in the post below I've been little active in cultural life...active means I wasn't only listening, but also creating:

Rise your hands to the sky so you can feel the Gods presence, feel the Gods presence
Lift your voice, sing and cry so you can feel the Gods presence, feel the Gods presence

Oh Lord, your love has captured me
Oh Lord, its tough (to) live without Thee
Oh God, you gave me all I need
Oh God, please take over lead
of my life

Bow your heart for Lord of mine so you can praise our God and our King, praise our God and our King
Close your eyes, its worship time so you can praise our God and our King, praise our God and our King

Christian x Believer

As you might know I was in the city of Opava last week. Me and 20 more czechs were the middlemen between czechs and americans there. But I dont want to talk about this (at least not now). Some of these americans opened my eyes to something I knew that exists, but not so radical.
I always knew that there are people who are christians-people who try to live their lives for God. They all sure are sinners, no doubt with that. But they are at least trying.
Then, there are people who I call "belivers". People who belive in God, but live their lives the same as they used to live it before they knew God. Passive christians in other words.
All this is ok, cause all these people are not trying to look different that they are.
But then there is this group of people who call themselves christians, but their lives are not lived by the Word at all. I might call it a little pharisaic. As I know they were as well trying to look so religious but they lives sucked. So these people are sinners as any others, but the difference is that these people dont really regret any of what theyve done. And there are some things that Im able to forget (Im not the one to judge) but some things I cant go over.
There is one guy who does bad things, but I like him, cause hes not self-proclaimed christian. And then there is this guy, who seemed pretty cool to me, he was talking about God really nicely and so on and then I found out that his life is full of unregretted sin like one night stand (one of the things I cant go over).

Thats just my thought of this week. You might not agree with me...I kinda dont care:)
