As I have just entered adult hood, I found myself in a conversation with my Mom about being on fire for God, and growing in relationship with God as a middle-aged person. Now I don't mean to offend anybody by this, this is certainly not true for everybody and every church but this is just what I have been witnessing. Through my high school years it has really been stressed to keep a good and growing relationship with our savior, to go on mission trips and be a missionary in our everyday life, it has been stressed to keep that fire I have for God. Now that's all and great but does mean anything if that doesn't keep going your whole life, if we don't keep fueling that fire, do you only do that for 18 years and your done. I feel that it has become commonly accepted in the Church today for when you become Middle aged it's Ok for your relationship with God to become flat, it's just fine to not be on fire for God as long as we believe in God. I guess I just see the Christian youth and College age students being so much more on fire than I see middle aged adults, Why is that. Why do generally just youth go on mission trips over the summers, and just youth stressed to be missionaries where ever they are, why is there just Sunday school group, jr. high group, high school group, and college group. Shouldn't there be Middle aged group, Mid Life Crisis group, and Grey Hair group (no offense). Why I ask myself, I think is this, the Church is so concerned on trying to mold youth for the future that they don't actually follow up on the future. The truth is if the fire doesn't keep being fueled it will eventually die. Again I don't know if everybody sees this, but if you do, do something about it, don't be one of the statistics. We should never be satisfied with our relationships with God, we should always want more, Always.
