its sad to think back and see how much people have changed. not too many people that i know or once knew have managed to keep themselves together inside and out in a way that has been relatively consistant and compairably upright. i've looked around tonight and noticed how much our worlds are changing. drugs, alcohol, sex. what happend to all the

"drugs, alcohol, sex. what happend to all the good kids i once new?"

drugs alcohol and sex dont define a persons character. yes it is wrong, the bible says so many times. but Gods intentions are incredible. i, myself have been through some of those phases and am not completely out of them yet. but sins, no matter how big or small the outcome may be, weigh exactly the same in God's eyes. gossip, betrayal, fear...what about those? those definitely are sins. i get what you are saying. but change = God's molding. each and every one of us will be molded into what God intended us to be.

worldly things do not determine the "good" and "bad" kids....

drugs sex and alcohol were just some major issues with myself and others that i have noticed alot lately. tons of good christian kids that wouldnt drink or have anything to do with drugs and were waiting until they were married to have sex. thats not the case anymore. these kids, the handful i'm directly refering to, have made a dramatic 180 in the other direction. having sex with whoever, whenever. getting high all the time. drinking whenever they can. i have seen this happen and been apart of its happening. sure there are tons of other things i could mention, but those are all the same in everyone and are alot harder to conquer. basically, when this group of people (myself inculded) was aproached with the opportunity to make either a good choice or a not so good choice, they chose the later. never the less, the opinions expressed in my journal are vague and dont portray the full aspect of my thoughts, and thats because they are mine. i broadness of my statements only ensure that the people i refer to dont know who i am refering to

i understand where you are coming from completely. but i wouldnt necessarily say that actions define a persons character. i do believe that actions determine who you will be. you have to know the persons heart. i have done many things that i am not proud of, im not who i want to be or even close to it. but i think that my heart should not be based on me having sex or drinking. the focus should be as to why and where im coming from and where im going with it. lets say that i gossiped all the time...yes i'd talk about the person but thats something we all do right? well sex and gossip are under the same sin-category as is everything else. ignorance is just as bad as having sex with 20 guys in 1 night. only He can judge me and only His judgment matters, not just to me. i think this is more about you and your situation with your friends (trust me, im right there with you) its really hard. but how about we both put our trust in God and just know that our faith is more than just words but also His work... He will never deceive you like the

i think that consistent actions do determine someone's character. in fact, i think that consistent actions, choices (which are usually actions of some kind), and beliefs (which are internal actions), are basically all we have to define someone's character. now sporadic actions can't so much be taken into consideration. you know? anyway. that's the only topic i'll mention here....for certain reasons. but i will mention that concerning "sin." I don't know how it could be logically possible that all sins are the same in god's eyes. i'd like it if someone could explain that to me more specifically, because i've been told that all my life and it never made sense. that would, in effect, make me as bad/good as Hitler, Bush, etc.
