I just got incredibly sad.
Why is the world so hypocritical (including me) we all are.
But this time.. I have come in contact with something so obviously hypocritical, it screams " LOOK AT ME "!
As Christians we really can not set bad examples. If we are falling off the path, usually we can somewhat recognize it, its just hard to have the self discipline to return back to the right path.
But let me encourage us all (talking to myself too) when we are falling off the path, WE CANT LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST! So lets not even try it.
It sends a mixed signals to others: We can party and sin and everything else and still be CHRISTIAN! OH HOW EASY!
WRONG! I am guilty as well. But I do my best to avoid it.
It's just.. this action this one person has taken. It tells others that it's ok. and its not. I don't want people to be so confused.
I just don't understand how you can mix partying and church. Party saturday night, wake up and go to church even though you believe partying is wrong. If you don't believe drinking is wrong and you go to church, then I suppose I can't fault you. I know I have no right to judge others, thats God's job, but really guys.. we are supposed to keep eachother in check and watch out for eachother.
I have to do something...

I love your fire, Kirby. I pray so much that instead of just watching the world that I'll get out and do something, it's just always hard to get started. i know what you mean though.. about the hypocrisy. i had a close friend growing up who later became a hardcore partier yet she still claimed to be a cristian (which brings up a whole new point about the question of whether she was ever saved at all), and when i confronted her she chose the parties over her once-strong faith.
when we do confront people, they take it as extreme offence. especially if they really are guilty. they take is as us being self-righteous and 'better than everyone'.. well, if they were right in their faith they would know as Christians, to be obedient we have to not only hold others accountable but let people hold us accountable. but once you fall away so much, the excuse 'you cant judge me,' or 'thats none of your business' comes into play. it just gets sticky, and it's hard.
i'm trying to better my actions and not just for myself, but in a way that stands out to others so they'll see and learn. if they're confused, hopefully they will come to us and ask questions.
i know it's very frusterating. but with Christ all things are possible.
Reach for the stars Kirby. However and WHEREVER you want.
Rest easy.
