Ok so like the title says I'm setting a standard. I have had this blog now for oh probably like almost seven months now and I've done very little posting since I got it. I've decided as a promise to you the reader, my adoring fans, I will post at least one message a week for you all. God has laid many things on my heart since I started this blog and the more He talks to me and I don't share what He tells me to share the more disobedient I am. So like I said I'm gonna set a standard and I'm going to hold to this promise to weekly update this with what's going on and if God gives me more than one message to share a week then I will update as much as needed so please check every few days to make sure theres nothing new and if I don't update call me on it.
I guess now I'm gonna give some little theological thought on setting of standards before I bugger off to spend time with the family after I grab a shower.. So here it is. The bible clearly tells us more than once that we are called to live life on a higher standard as Christian's than the average Joe yet it seems that more times than not I find myself living like the world because well let's face it if we are honest that is many times the most fun things to do. Its not fun to be the kid who is reserving sex til he is married or to be the one person at a party who isn't slamming down drinks because you don't believe getting drunk is ok in God's eyes. So heres where the standards come in. God gives us a standard, we can't reach it on our own, so what did He do? He took care of it for us. We can't live up to perfection but Christ can and so God sent Christ to bridge the gap for us, where we can't be perfect Christ is perfect for us. Now like Paul says this is no license to go about life living in sin because you're covered in the end, no this is a license to live a life full, and fun, and above the cut of the people who are spending their weekends in sin while we hold back and find something else fun to do. There isn't much I have to say about this I really only added this section because the blog was short and it keeps in the trend of what is typical of my post.
Well in closing I'm going to tack on a video here of an acoustic version of Thrice's song Come All You Weary. Also going to restate my promise to you the reader, I will make sure there is at least a weekly update to this blog even if it is just me telling you how my week went, if God shares something with me to give to others then I will add that as well but you will be seeing more action from the Revolution.
Good to see you "setting the standard" on the Blog. I think it's really good to have standards. I know that a though that came up today in my quiet time is:
ReplyDeleteAm I every really satisfied? I think God designed me to always yern for MORE, to go HIGHER, and to do more than I am capable of doing...more than my resources can handle.
But dude, I always say the people around me who talk about there amazing sex lifes outside of marriage and there drunken parties, "You know, these guys may have one THIS battle, but I have won the war."
I don't know where your stance is on drinking (and either way...it doesn't really matter). But, I say that it's alright to enjoy a beer...my pastor says it's okay to drink...but he also says it's not okay to hit your wife.
And in looking out for my best interests, is it really a good idea to be drunk anyways? I mean, even if you take God completely out of the picture, being drunk is a stupid thing...and it can and does have serious consequenses.
Keep if up dawg!
