Effectiveness, or Spiritual Boredom?

I read something this morning that really spoke to me. It was from the Word for Today (although it was the Word for two days ago, actually), and it talked about spiritual boredom. The message was:

Do you ever get bored with church or your spiritual life? If so, consider this: hearing without doing becomes boring - every time!... You're bored because you're not doing what you've heard preached.

That really challenged me. Aside from doing this blog (which I only do semi-regularly, and even then am probably only reaching a small audience), what am I doing with my Christianity? Outreach is a very important part of our faith, and one that we can often overlook. To that end I have also written another letter to the editor, and made my first fledging steps at an outreach of sorts...

Remedy to Verbal Blather
Sir,
I always follow the creation/evolution debate when it turns up in this newspaper, and was recently ‘impressed’ by the entire page filled with correspondence on this subject (Mailbox, January 29), although I believe that some people out there would be getting sick of it all by now.
Both sides can have solid arguments, but others write without thinking through what they say, putting people off their opinions no matter which side of the debate they are on. Many of the correspondents would benefit from having someone to answer their queries, to look into the facts and respond to them, rather than boring the public with verbal blather. Therefore, I would like to offer my services in this area.
Rather than simply stating opinions, I would suggest that those involved in this debate (or interested in finding out the facts), email me at crevodebate@yahoo.com.au, which I have set up for this purpose. I don’t pretend to know all the answers, but will happily research them for you. I have my own opinions, but will attempt to only respond with “scientific “findings” not speculations (G Beardmore).” Feel free to advise anyone who writes in on this subject of my services.

This, of course, is only a start. Another small step is adding my new email to this site as well, and letting people talk to me (and suggest blog ideas). But, the biggest step is nothing to do with computers.

The only way for me to be really effective is to get out there and be effective. I am still being challenged by God to speak to people, and in the end, I know that doing that is the thing I must do.

Pray for me :-S
