Don't get me wrong, in Church or a setting where brothers and sisters in Christ are clearly in Spirit and truth I am GREAT! I am happy, and I don't ever want to leave.

But outside of a setting like that I am just miserable most of the time. Oh I can enjoy myself sure, but in my spirit I am just so "down".

The Christians I am around at work (I work 24 hours a day for 7 days with 3 days off folowed by 24 hours a day for 7 days followed by 4 days off) just don't seem to focus on Christ. They believe the "worlds" system will heal the hurting kids we have here. Many attend movies that sicken me, listen to music that I HATE with a Godly passion, and have ZERO intrest in a staff bible study. Those who are or were intrested wanted it to be "charismatic".

I just feel frustrated and tired most of the time.

Any advice? I AM praying about it.

Thanks all [/quote:1395aedb2e]

You mean to say that you get tired of the casual Christian? I understand 110% Diagnosing the problem is easy, what do do about it is hard. I am praying for you and going through the exact same thing. Circumstantial wisdom will play a big role in this. When to be confrontational and when to be...really, I dont know. One hates to be seen as judgmental but yet all the prophets were confrontational about the lacksadaisical people. Thank you for posting, for this will help me deal with the same problem around the same type of people
