"Where the rubber meets the road..."

We heard this comment recently regarding the feel good emotions one may have after spending time in God's house...seeing and hearing all the wonderful things that God is doing in lives.  In the very next breath, the same person commented about casting their vote for the next American Idol star. 
Huh? 
What?
Which comment is the rubber and what road are you traveling on?
I'm confused.
Tonight for our Kid's Club lesson, we reviewed five of the verses that we learned this year. 
Why have we spent the time memorizing God's Word? 
Psalm 119:9-11  "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?  by taking heed thereto according to thy word.  With my whole heart have I sought thee:  O let me not wander from thy commandments.  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Mr. Ted explained the purpose for learning God's Word and hiding it in our heart.  In our daily life...we  make many choices.  In our choices, we will either bring glory to God or glory to satan.  God's Word gives us the wisdom to make right choices...friends, music, activities, tv...
John 3:16
James 4:7
Proverbs 1:5
James 4:17
Where the rubber meets the road...how are you responding to the truth of God's Word in your day to day life?  Satan is working hard and he has been able to accomplish much with the music of the day...and believers have followed his vices because they do not take heed to God's Word.  We think it is harmless to watch and vote for the Idol.  "It is just harmless fun."  And you think that the music, lifestyles, dress, actions, and agendas are all in fun?  The word "idol" doesn't even phase you?  Really?
In order to heed something...you need to read...and understand what you read.  We don't always have our Bibles with us...how can you heed God's Word then?  By hiding it in your heart!
We dealt with spiritual immaturity that comes with childhood tonight.  But later, I was taken by surprise at the lack of spiritual maturity of believers in their adulthood.
"I thought music was just for fun." stated one of our girls in Kid's Club.  "If satan is so smart, why did he get thrown out of heaven?  Is there a pizza party next week?  Where exactly is hell? I'm just wondering, because someone told me it was in the center of the earth."
...and yes, our heads were spinning after this rapidly fired exchange.  Excuse me for not thinking that all of this is "just for fun".  We have little girls and boys who are struggling with truth and trying to decide if hell is going to be as bad as the Bible describes...while Christians embrace "the fun of this world".  It is frightening to me.  Another verse from this year...Luke 16:13  "NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS..."
We came home, kicked back our chairs, and tried to comprehend the seriousness of what these children are dealing with each day.  We checked email and facebook...and I am still reeling from what I read.  Just two choices on the shelf...pleasing God or pleasing self (or satan...actually). 
Is music just for fun? 
Honestly?
Where the rubber meets the road...could better be summed up by...
Your walk talks...and your talk talks...BUT your walk talks louder than your talk talks! 
It's too bad that these days, we post our talk about our walk all over the internet for the world...and the Lord...to see. 
Did you ever stop to think... what your talk, about your walk, actually sounds like...to God?
