hmm I disagree, perhaps just on the level as what I'm interpretating your saying but this is what I disagree with if I'm percieving what you said correctly. I do not beleive that it is requirement to look for suffer or to heap upon one self in order to feel you are living for Christ. If we live for Christ persecution is going to come but I wouldn't say it's somthing you go looking for. And with the same thought I do not think it is right to abadon are freinds because they are going to hold us back from God or somthing. We live for God and if we loose friends because of it well then fine it happens but once again I wouldn't say we go out of our way to make life miserable. All I'm saying is this, we need to follow the Lord at all costs whatever he puts before us but that doesn't mean you should cast aside every blessing in your life the Lord is giving us because we aren't suppose to have any comfort in this life or somthing. Anyway that's where I disagree with you I believe and I know I'm no where near perfect in following the Lord and

Hmm. I think you are right. I was feeling pretty ambitous when I wrote that and it sounds pretty one sided. I do not plan to stop talking to anyone or spending time with anyone on purpose, or whatever. I tend to want everyone to like me, which is fine, but I do that and then I am totally bound by that. I intend to encourage others towards Christ in every relationship I have, and not just have relationships with everyone so that everyone will like me

What I meant to say on the last sentence was, "It is good and necessary to relax and have fun, at the same time I think that I need to maximize the time I have, and use it for JEsus. Peter
Peter, I want more! This is amazing! My question is... If someone said "I have decided to follow Jesus" but then strays from his guidance, finding it difficult to WANT to come back, or even want to PRAY to come back...what now? Satan must have a pretty strong hold on that person.
Dear Stephanie, Wow, I have been pretty burnt out the past several many days since about last thursday. I feel pretty dumb writing this after my short treatise on how I will use my time for Jesus. I still plan on doing that, I also realize that there is room for grace, and that it is a reality that it is a process between me becoming who Christ wants me to be. This is no excuse to say I can relax and not obey Christ, but it is also good to rest in His grace. Which I guess we both need right now, Me and this other person who has strayed. But! We both need to get our butts in gear and kick sin out of our lives. So, no more messing around with Satan's activities, that goes for both of us.
