Right cards, wrong game

I am that lukewarm water
I am the water tossed to and fro in the wind
I am the fool

My tongue is an untamed one
It sets my life on fire
I am the fool

I have not run to win the prize
I have not joined the race
I am the fool

I once had a close friend look at me very confused by me and say "You have all the right cards and seem to play them all wrong." I responded "I don't know what game is being played."
That was senior year of high school, man how I wish that 10 years later things would be different but they aren't I still seem to have no clue what game my cards go to and every time I think I know how my cards work the next time it fails miserably. I have always been good at a lot of things but never great at any one thing and any time I have thought I found the thing I was great at I fell flat on my face looking like the fool again.
I do feel tossed back and forth in life and there are days that I wish I hadn't found my faith so that I at least wouldn't be "lukewarm water".

A Savior, but a role model too?

I recently saw this video at church. It hit me hard, really hard. The audio part is from a Francis Chan sermon. That guy doesn't sugar coat it, he is unafraid to bring the truth. The line that got me the most is one where he says that we think Jesus is a great savior but with the way we live our lives we say he isn't a very good role model. Check it out let me know what you think.

A Name

So I just watched a video of a sermon by my best friend, it was great. He was confident, didn't jumble his words and it made me think. The topic was the name of Jesus and what it tells us about Jesus and God. Amazing points but the one he ended it with was probably the hardest hitting one. Roughly it was, most of us are careful with how we represent our father (family) name (i.e. our last name), but how are we at representing the name of Jesus? As we walk around calling ourselves Christians (followers or the Christ) what are other people seeing?
Just something to think about from a wise man I know.
