i'm not sure if this has ever come up in your walk, but i know it's come up in mine, and in many of my friend's. sometimes, i think that we forget how cool god is. and sometimes, i think we all think that god is not at all cool. i mean, we always think god is cool if he is blessing us and being extremely generous. and i think most of us think god is amazingly cool when we are alone with him. and we probably think god is pretty cool when we're at most church events, or with other believers. but what about when it's just you, in a room of darkness and unbelievers. then how proud are you of your cool friend, named jesus?
i will admit, and have many times before, that it is sometimes hard for me, to stand up for jesus, when i'm being the "lone-light" in a room or group of people. ex. you are in high school. in a classroom, before class starts, and a kid brings up PSR classes. and pretty soon, the entire room is talking about how much they hate PSR, and church (with a lowercase "c"...) is so boring, and how god is just about stupid rules, and their parents are so mean to make them go to church, and they are all getting fired up against god. and you are sitting there... now how cool does god seem to you? you don't have to tell me, so be honest. right now. think about it. personally, in that situation... god is still the king of my life. god is still amazingly loving and perfect and holy, and worthy of all my praise. god is still god. but i don't think i can stand up for god right there, because i don't want to create a mess. i don't want to get involved, and be what they might consider "the enemy". i like things how they are. i'm comfortable. i don't agree with them, but who wants to come out and say that to a group of people? i want to be accepted. everyone does. but think about our king and savior. he was rejected and condemned.
i'm not saying go out and get into a fight with every person you run into, and tell them how wrong they are. that's not going to show anyone jesus' love. i'm just saying... maybe we need to take a good hard look at our hearts, and figure out who really is the cool one and who really matters. is it us? or is it god? is it us, the sinners, broken, bruised, poor people who really matter? or is it god, the creator of everything, who is perfect, holy, and majestic, worthy of all praise, who sent his son to die for you and me, so that we may have eternal life?
god is cool.
but are you?

Sing it, sister.
What freaks me out is that I think, when I look at all the "cool people" who don't know Jesus, who have so much, and don't seem to "need anything..." and I think, "do they even need Jesus?"
It scares me when I think like that. I know Jesus died for everybody. But does everbody "need Him?"
Or, then I think, all these cool people, and I am suddenly am aware of my so uncoolness, why would they want to meet my God, as uncool as I am? Does my uncoolness turn people away? Does His coolness make up for it? Or does He intentionally match me up with people just enough less cool than me, that they can be tricked into thinking I am cool, and therefore my God is SUPER COOL?
It's horrible these thoughts, you know!
Wow. BTW, you should write a book. You make awesome observations. YOU are COOL. (For what it's worth, coming from someone who is admittly très uncool.)
