old thoughts...

I have to wake up in two hours, but right now that does'nt matter. What truly matters is Knowing Jesus Christ. I spent the last 5 hours with my dear brother in Christ talking about everything. Russ is a radical Christian in much the same way I am. There are convictions that must be lived out in both of our lives that we spent time in passionate discourse, prayer and tears over. I have to change.... I realize that what makes me laugh and cry tell God much about my heart. So why listen to music that is obviously promoting pride, the same with movies that promote everything self-oriented? Why do I substitute caffine for sleep that I should normally get? Why do I substitute surfing the net, pornography, movies, and other books for time spent with God and His word? What is with these 8min ab videos, and diet pills, breast implants, piercings, tattoos, sugar free, fat free, low carb, abortions, birthcontrol, penis enlargement, on and on.... Everything becuase we are lazy and fools, entire industries,peoples entire lives spent on fulfilling our wants. For what? So they can make enough money to fulfill their wants in return. Thus whole cities founded on sin. Mankind outside the Mercy and Grace of God is in rebellion and desperately lost. Much of what we call "worship" is nothing more than sensationalism. The reality is that I could sing any song verse 20 times in a row and experience a euphoric feeling. So why do we conclude that is the Holy Spirit? I could hire a hyponotised to come to the church for a day and speak persuasively and cause people to fall over in place or laugh uncontrollably, but that does not mean it is the Holy Spirit. I often wonder what the appeal to Christianity is these days? Have anyone of you seen those retarded " not of this world" bracelets, or the necklaces that have a nail on them, or the generally fashionable crucifixes you can buy now? The Christian music that is cool just like the world's music? Christian books on leadership traits instead of on traits of a follower? Satan has so man tools with which to decieve us. We must remember he is the Father of lies who can masquerade as an angel of light. Satan will give you a lake of truth to hide one pint of poison. Why do women all have to expose their middriff or what ever they call the stomach region now? as well where pants that are so low you have to have a bikini wax to where them. That along with all the time in tanning booths, makeup and perfume.... Guys you are definetly guilty of all of this too... In all of this I am expressing some thoughts that pass through my mind, of course I do not go around telling people they are wrong and I am right. Perhaps those who do such things are strong in their faith are simply practicing the liberty in Christ? Much of what I wrote about I write as a challenge to Christians to try to live holy and set apart... I don't wan't to call unholy what God has called holy so feel free to rebuke me for my error....
