Fleeing the World


There are so many things in the world that beg and plea for my attention. I go on the Internet as a single man and am hit over and over with all kinds of singles websites. Even on perfectly pure websites the ads are there. And they are generally posted with a pretty woman in some kind of revealing dress. Aside from even the Internet, there are people in my life that say sick things expecting me to laugh at what they are saying, or bend to their form of speech. The world plea's over and over again for me to follow it's lusts. I say if what is begging my attention doesn't give me Christ I want nothing to do with it. If it doesn't point me to God most high, "leave me!" No world I do not want to laugh at your jokes. My God hates them! No world I do not want your women. My God died so that I could be pure! No world I will not say your words. My God has commanded my tongue to speak praise to Him! So if you do not give me Christ leave me oh wicked world, I want nothing to do with you. I hate sin. I love my God, and I want to see Him glorified in all things.

1st (again!!) This is so true my brother!! He must guard our hearts, eyes and ears to things of this world! Also, from people of this world, even if it is people we care for or love!! It's just like what we read last night in our book, trust in the word and trust in Christ, build that relationship with Him!! Christ is faithful in all things and he will be faithful always!!!

I often find that blindfolding myself whilst surfing the web (to use you youngsters' colloquialism...) is quite effective in keeping my eyes from evil. Sometimes Amazon delivers strange things to my house, though...

Wow, I think that my little boy is growing up. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Not really, I'm proud of you son. Stay strong. We as men know the strength of the world and it's draw on our flesh. Let's continue to fight the good fight together. Iron sharpening iron. Kinda like on the golf course. :) Love you man!!!
