Stay Away from Jesus

I've been to a lot of churches, and met a lot of "Christians".  Christians that didn't really seem different, Christians that come to church on Sunday, but spend the rest of the week living carnal lives. And I'm not judging these people, God knows there are times when I can be lukewarm. But being passive isn't what Jesus wants.  He doesn't want a bunch of self righteous, perfect-outside-broken inside, sissy, once a week, Christians.  If that is what you want, then stay away from Jesus.  I love this song by Matt Papa:

You won't ever hear this song on Christian radio
Cause the Jesus that I serve is not safe
He'll say take Your cross and die
So if you want a comfy life
Stay away from Jesus

He says narrow is the gate and hard is the way
Hate the ones you love and love the ones you hate
Eat my flesh and drink my blood
But if your works are good enough
Stay away from Jesus

O let the children come
O let the prideful run
The Lord, The Lord is His name
He has died the world to save
But to believe is to obey
So come or stay away

He says be either hot or cold, you can't serve God and gold
Indifference is the road that leads to hell
So if you're happy in your stuff
and if 10%'s enough
Stay away from Jesus

Bridge:
He says come follow me
lose your life and be free
you must die to believe
like a child come and see
He draws every line in love, He is good and He is just
And the words He speaks are meant to set you free
But if you think you are the Way
And in control you have to stay
Then stay away from Jesus

"If you think you are the way and in control you have to stay then stay away from Jesus".  How many of us try to save ourselves with works and how many of us want to stay in control?  If we feel that way we need to give it ALL to Jesus, and if we aren't willing to do that, then we should just stop wasting our time and stay away from Jesus.
