Thnx for the encouragement, but no one knows what mine and God's relationship is like. No one knows what is in my heart but God and me. I know the truth and I know what will work. I am as contenet with what I am doing right now as you are in the spiritual realm. Thank you for admitting that you don't know what is going on, but untill I am ready, I'm not leaving the position that I stand in. I am not putting on a show at church then going out and "drinkin it up". What I do at church is real and sincere. I'm not running victory laps or jumping around because that is not what I am feeling. I give God the honor that I am supposed to and that is all that matters. I don't care what everyone says about me and my friends because untill yall can see that my heart is where I believe it should be, it doesn't matter. I don't think yall ever will see that, but I have always believed that the difference between right and wrong is what you take from God's word and believe to be true yourself. Not listen to other people's meanings of right and wrong

anytime! its with a sincere heart and high hopes,,,i am not saying that i do know what yours and Gods relationship is like,,,you are absolutely right...praise God im very happy that you know the truth and what will work and i hope that you will apply it amen!well,if you are not in the spirit realm and praising God, then im just going to disagree with you right there, you know the truth, and God says that no thing can fill the space the he created for himself alone to fulfill...well praise God he'l reveal it to you and when and what to do amen!i cant make you do anything, but i can and will encourage you no matter what..i am not judging you at all, it is not my place to judge you, but like i said i am going to try and encourage...if you say you are sincere, i believe you, ill believe the best about every single person until they prove otherwise...if you say youre sincere thats between you and God...people express their love and joy in different ways, i know that if we were all the same that would just be boring...you give him the honor

also, since were not naming names, anonymousy will be taken. I completely understand where you are coming from, and what you are saying, but as for doing one thing and acting like another, no one is hiding anything. Just because signs are worn that say hey i drink and smoke does not mean any one is denying something. And we are not condemned in Christ, so me and my friends are not going to let our decisions affect our relationship with God. We have been forgiven and are going through tough times, but God loves us just as much as he did last year at this time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though. Love you Mikey T!
Just so you know, though I've heard all of this before, you come at it from a different angle and you've gained my respect. I realize now that you aren't judging and thank you for understanding. My reply earlier wasnt to get you to apologize for anything that you said because it came from your heart and I wasn't trying to get anything started either. I was simply throwing out another line for someone to attempt to understand where I'm coming from. When it comes to the drinking and smoking part, I never denied that it was going on. I only denied the fact that we do all of this then come to church on Sunday and put on an act. I know of one or two that does do that, but I assure that the ones you are talking to are not among those one or two. When it comes to the consequences, we all realize that we will have to pay up some day, and we are all aware that we will have to take responsibilty for our actions. Even if we were all living the perfect life, we'd still have consequences somewhere and somehow down the road. Love ya Michael
you know I agree with you 100%, its about time someone was bold enough to come out and say this. yea no one is condeming anyone but there are certain people making certain decisions that arnt right and they know this. There are consequences for their actions. I love our youth very very much and thats the reason for all this being said, I love them all and want the best for them just as God does. yes God will forgive you and loves you just as much as he did before you sinned but that gives you no right to go out and do it again then ask for forgiveness after. thats being fake and everyone sees through that. not only do I love our youth but I respect you too and I dont want anyone to think that there is anyone judging them in the youth b/c we're not. I just hope that the descions being made are being thought out carefully before being made.
you know u say ur not judging us but then u talk about people at church being able to see through us. we r not fake....this is who we r and God made me like this...im not saying that that excuses me from my bad choices but... its not the people at churchs buisiness what i do ....u know as well as i do that there are people at church that think we r awfull and they say these things before they know anything for a fact.....and as u said we r not supose to judge its not our right... well im not judging anyone but people that r supose to be my family in christ r doing just that.... u want us to soo bad get our lives on trake again but what in the world would make me want to be like them... yes i am going to do great things for christ but like ive said before i am going through things that are VERY hard right now and the people at church just judge me .... they dont ask me if everything is ok they just look at me with discusted eyes and judge me... i would rather them ask ,whats wrong or if im ok or if i need someone to talk to ,than look

no, no one is judging you at HCC, we love you. no matter what ok? I dont know who your talkin about lloking at you discusted or anything like that b/c I know our youth doesnt think anything bad about you or anyone else in our church for that matter. it just hurts to see people who know God and hwta he has to offer and not take ahold of it.
no one at church thinks you are awful or anyof yall,,,thats the honest truth(dont be rollin ur eyes on the inside either lol this is the truth really)...everyone at church does not even know this stuff is going on in their own youth...im upfront and behind the scenes i guess you could say, and im not gonna lie about any of this...i cant name a single person who looks at yall with disgusted eyes and judges you...if you think that is what is going on , well then praise God i hope you can see what really is...if you think that we are loking down on you, then why would i take so much time to sit down and plan out what i want to say and pray that you understand my motives and that you take it with the right heart...your family in christ is not there to wait for yall to go thru hard situations then just slam you when you start messin up...if you think i or anybody else looks at you with disgusted eyes and thinks ur awful well then tell the devil to shut his mouth and quit listing to him...we love everysingle one of you...i love yall so much
