Just an age old story of a frog

I just want to cry or scream or jump up and down. Since I have no outlet for these things...I write.

oh the story of that ill-fated frog. Happily he jumps into the water that is filled with water cool to the touch. It's perfect. Happily he sits. Unbeknown to him, a human has him in a pot on the stove! Slowly, degree by degree the heat is turned up. The frog barely notices since the change is ever so slight until it is TOO late. He is dead because he didn't pay attention to the slow subtle changes of his environment.

Will this be the story for the church of Christ in America? Are we becoming too casual with the environment around us to not even notice how the ideals of our culture are becoming our own?

Jesus will save His church before the water burns us alive but boy I wish we as a group could wake up and jump out of this pot of mediocrity and accepting of the status quo into a world where there is danger around every corner but we survive by trusting in Jesus!
