I have never heard of the person who has screwed up their life by following God's will found in God's Word!

We live in a time period where information is readily available at the blink of an eye. Conversations and connectivity with each other is at our finger tips. As a Christ follower I have increasingly seen many of us make excuses for why people do not respond to the Gospel. Often times we blame ourselves or other Christians that have painted a bad picture of who Christ is and can be for people everywhere. This is true, however, what I know to be even truer is that I believe Christians across the Globe and even pastors and church leaders have turned to philosophies that do not depend on the Word of God. We lean on our great music, our cool environment, our coffee shops, and our community building to show how much God loves them. Great tools, but none of those things will prosper a marriage. None of those things will rescue someone from any kind of abuse. None of those things will lead someone to serve selflessly. If anything it makes people want more me, me, me. We are the church, we are different, we should offer hope and more importantly we should be teaching people to obey everything He has commanded us. The world can offer great music, great coffee, and awesome environments to be a part of, but the Kingdom offers eternal freedom that begins now for anyone who would follow. Are we leading people to follow? Or are we scared that non-Christ followers have all of these bad feelings towards us as Christians? 

The question I am asking and pondering in this post is this: Have you ever heard of the person who has screwed up their life by following God's will for their life?
