There is a gray area in our walk with God. There is no gray area in the word of God, or in God himself, however there is gray area in our understanding of God's word and how to reconcile God's word with the world we have become a product of. We have seen and been exposed to the world as sinners. We learn and grow and experience the world through our five senses that are tainted with sin. We learn from people who seem to sin without remorse so it becomes a normal part of life, no big deal, right?

I have been in church for a long time. All of my life, honestly. I grew up surrounded by prayer, bible study, Friday night service, choir rehearsal, youth services, Saturday night service, Sunday School, Sunday Morning Service, Sunday Afternoon service, Church Outings, Church Picnics... I could go on. While I am grateful for my upbringing in the church because I have experienced and learned so much over the years, I now often ponder what was missing? What am I lacking? What was perhaps the church lacking?
