Joshua 24:15

I don't know if I'm more sad or disgusted.

I have a friend. This is his about me on myspace.
"Shall we begin? My name is _____ but everyone that is close to me calls me _____ and there is a reason for that but you will have to get to know me to understand why they call me _____ =) I’m 19 years old but I act like a little kid at times hehe! I'm a Christian. I always put people head of me and that will never change. My goal in life is to become more like Jesus each day. I enjoy writing, reading, watching the sky, dancing in the rain, surfing, and swimming!!! I'm an all out swimmer if you can't tell! Always remember you are never alone even though it seems like it at times but we do have a God who watch overs us and will be here for us if we ask. AIM=__________ For love is strong as death passion fierce as the grave; its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it."

He's a nice kid. He loves Jesus.

He posted a bulletin a few minutes ago entitled "Sex or Pass."
Here's what it was.

"There is at least one person on your myspace list that wants to fuck the hell out of you.


So lets play the Sex or Pass game?

The rules are simple... if you want to fuck the person who posts this, send them a message saying 'yep, I'd screw you'

SCARED? lol this is funny
YOU HAVE TO RE-POST THIS!! and see who replies.


There is at least one person on your myspace list that wants to do u so!!!
repost this as 'Sex or Pass'
Don't be a wimp and not re-post it"

I don't understand.
Honestly, I don't.
And it makes me sad to be bunched under the same "Christian" label as people who do things like this.
And it makes me even sadder to know that things that disgusting are hidden in my own heart.

We really are a sad bunch, aren't we? Even those of us who "live into our faith" will never be able to stand up to the world and all of its pitfalls. And that's why grace has become such a blessing to all who have chosen to accept it: we wouldn't have a chance at redeeming ourselves were it not for grace. I guarantee that if I were to live to be 100 years old, each attempt at living a sinless day would be a miserably failed endeavor.

But I want to challenge you to try anyway.

Jesus did not call us to be sinless. But He did call us to try.

Joshua 24:15
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."
