"Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." - philippians 4:8 fo riz. we need to set boundaries in every part of our life. people always talk about setting boundaries for dating. which is important. but what about other stuff in our life? how far is too far? what kind of person do you want to be? God definitely reminded me of this yesterday when i bought New Found Glory's new cd. New Found Glory is pretty much on the line of my boundaries in music. they have been a favorite of mine for awhile. the new cd is horrible though. and it crossed my boundaries. seriously. cursing is just not cool. i don't want it in my head. not to mention the music just didn't sound good. this cd took them from the top of my list of favorites to off my list. as Christians we need to remember to glorify God in everything we do cause that's what Christ did and we are to be Christ-like. people are watching you all the time. you are a role model to someone, whether you think you are or not. check yourself. "how long do you have to play this game before you see i'm right? it's not just a game, it's a fight." our thoughts should be pure. that is what's pleasing to God. don't compromise. i know people have different convictions. and i'm not exactly very patient when it comes to other people not having the same convictions i do. so talk to God and make boundaries. not what you want. what He wants. "Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. ...You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is the only man who knows the full what temptation means - the only complete realist." - C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity
Behind Closed Doors Open up and reveal what's goin' on in the backroom (Uh oh)
I see you I never knew what it was you were goin' through
But I can relate I used to wear the same shoes
So quit livin' like a hypocrite and be real
Like an opposite of counterfeit
And you'll feel what it is you're really up against
Stop foolin' yourself not foolin' anyone else
I hope you're getting this
You're not the same man you were before
Tell me what are you like behind closed doors
I can't take this anymore
To see these people slippin' out through the back door
So what's the point of even trying to hide
Cause everything you do is seen by omnipotent eyes
So come outside and leave behind
Don't be satisfied with the backslide we on the flipside
Sometimes it's so easy to cheat
But the only one's you're cheatin' are just you and the Chief
It ain't just a belief He'll be back like a thief
You better breathe get your things and leave
I know you will eventually
When you gonna come out to play
When you gonna come out to stay
When you gonna come out to say
That you'll never turn the other way by Pillar |
