The Generation that forgot itself

Why does it seem that my generation has lost itself? What I mean is; why does it seem that fellow Christians of my generation have just lost themselves, lost themselves in video games, Facebook, Clothes, movies, cars, woman, men, arts, social issues, money, pride, fame etc. they have lost themselves and so in a manner of speaking forgot themselves. They forgot who they were. They forgot what they were told they forgot the call on their life. Now I am not calling out everyone of my generation but I mean seriously come on now, my generation was the generation that was running to every pizza party at church, and every game night at church, and every summer camp and conference (Maybe that was the problem). My generation was the one that was told in mass at every football stadium and conference center across this country that you should not let anyone look down on you because of your youth. The problem came that we were told this, and not as readily told how to have people look up to you, or better yet, how to have people look up because we, had ourselves, looked up to Christ and realized that he was the only hope. My generation is falling away fast from God, Christ, Church, ministry and that higher calling that was placed on them at such a young age. What we need is those who have not forgot themselves, those who have not lost themselves to remember. Remember all those friends who stood by you and declared with you that they would run hard after God, but at some point just stopped. We the ones who are of my generation that obeyed the higher calling placed on our life we need to remember our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are not living in a daily devotion to Christ our King. We need to remind our friends and former friends that it takes more than a youth group mass prayer, and writing a date in the back of your bible that changes you. Remember generation, remember friends, remember fellow followers of Christ. This is our time, we are the leaders of tomorrow and guess what tomorrows dawn is quickly approaching. Step up, take the lead and do not forget that we are just like every other generation. We are but a vapor and have but 1 blip on the radar screen to make much of God. May my Generation wake up, Step up, and remember what it feels like to follow unashamed the creator of the universe. We can let others look up to us for the fact that our hope is in Christ, and therefore they look to Christ as the only hope. Or we can continue to forget ourselves and forget our way and allow our generation pace a way without obeying the call.
