Out of the Box

It makes me so sad to think of all the people who are lost; just living in darkness, with no hope. I wonder what it's like to be so trapped in sin and not believe that there is a Savior. I am beyond grateful that I do not know that feeling. But it just sickens me and makes my heart ache to think of all the people who feel that way right this second. People who don't believe in their Creator and Heavenly Father, but who are just so enthralled in drugs, alcohol, sex, SIN.
I play Counter Strike, yes I am a nerd ;P, and I always play on this Christian server and we constantly get unbelievers in the servers who just tear up Christianity, and a big reason that I have noticed is because of the "christian" role models they have seen in this world. People who call themselves Christians and then turn around and be a part of the things of this world. I find myself at a loss of words sometimes when that is brought up. How do you explain that? These days it is harder to tell if someone is a genuine Believer or not. Obviously, trying to explain that to someone through the internet, while you're playing a computer game, becomes difficult. But I just wish there was more I could do. And I know that there is! But I sometimes...a lot of the times fail at getting the courage to just be outgoing and blunt to people about the Gospel. It can be so frustrating. I have been doing better at it. I've found that going to a Bible College is a really good conversation starter, cause people always ask what I'm doing for college. So that has helped me step out of my box more. I just really hope and pray that I become more willing and open to telling anyone and everyone about God's love. I don't want to be a "in the box" Christian. I want to be out of the box, completely open, and relieving Eternal Salvation to this lost and dark world.
