Sleepwalking. The official definition from Webster is:
1) to walk while or as if while asleep
2) to proceed in a passive often lethargic manner
Today we are sleepwalking, just as nations and cultures before us have. Our sleepwalking has produced a hostile environment for those who are living according to God's standards. Even within the Church true believers are mocked and put down for their beliefs. But as Solomon said centuries ago, "There is nothing new under the sun." Those who believed that the Savior of the world had come in the form of a baby and birthed in a barn were mocked also. Thousands of years ago the world which we live in today was described. Don't believe me? Read Romans 1. Sound familiar? If it doesn't then you are choosing to deny the obvious truth. We live in a depraved and evil world. And the more we remove God from the fabric of our lives the more we decline into depravity.
Casting Crowns does a masterful job at tying together two different periods of history with the same message and theme. We are sleeping while the Savior is here among us.
Shake off your lethargy and arise from your slumber!

P.S. Sheesh, I was so serious today! :) I'll lighten it up for tomorrow! Blessings!
