I have seen rationalization in all its forms (even invented a few of my own, don'tcha know) but the bottom line is this: our relationship with our Father, His Son and The Holy Spirit, is exactly that...OURS. Just because Paul was allowed to pray about the thing he does that he doesn't want to do does not give us license to random-loop sin ourselves. If I had my way, the people who are glorysin blogging are feeling the immediate conviction that should come when they hit the post tab. Admitting I'm an idiot wrapped in a moron on a good day makes it easy for me to witness to others when I see the same tangled web ensnaring them. Mind you, I'm rarely invited to do so before and NEVER thanked after. It should come as no surprise to you, Toby, that I really don't give a big care either. The Truth leaves no room for regret.

Either you are delivered and free or not. Some things that we consider sin such as smoking or such are not directly refered to in the Bible. But lust and thing of that nature are. So if they are allowing themselves to continue on this path I think they should find out where they stand on their salvation. Our humanity is not an excuse to sin. and even though Christ covered us in his blood he still expects us to give it our all everyday. Of course none of us are perfect because we are not God.

Definitely given me something to chew on. I like to write about the journey (which often includes the struggle). I don't want to forget to write about the joy, lesson, or blessings though.

I write in such away to talk about the issue, but no put undo focus on my own struggles. I think there are some that just like the drama and the attention it brings.

I don't know what happened but for some reason my Google Reader stopped posting your blog. I didn't check yours because of it. I just thought with the new baby that your time was gone. I caught up reading but can't catch up commenting. Will stay posted now. Hope all is well. Good thoughts on this post btw. I think we like the "shock value" of I am just like you that sensationalism can bring. T: hey dude! I don't know what happened but for some reason my Google Reader stopped posting your blog.
