Our Nasty Attitudes Toward God

Every believer experiences deteriorating attitudes toward God sometimes. Some believers are out of touch with their

Why would someone covet an un Godly life?

If, like the article said, people who grew up in Christian homes felt they were "forced" to be Christian, they would want to rebel.

billy joel said he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints; the sinners are much more fun.

maybe Christians just aren't fun enough.

We always want what we can't have.

It's like when Paul said, "I did not covet until the Law said to not covet." (Romans 7:7-8)

Maybe on your side of the track theres no fun...folks like Wyguy and Aqua live on my side

But on a serious note, some Christian parents makes it so hard for their kids to be enjoy life. I know that rules are to follower, but I have meet

parents who won't allow their kids to play sports, be in the band etc, cause they say its a sin.

Another thing that has a strong force is "peer pressure", no one wants to be different and its not just kids, some grown Christian men and

women are starting to fall into that mold, because they don't want to stand out (be set apart), or they feel if they bend the rules, they'll get

this girl or guy.

I was brought up in a Christian home, and believe me, once I stepped out into the world, fun....fun until I was alone, when all the music and loud

laughter stopped. You will never be able to run away from self, especially when you have been taught the truth. No matter how I thought I

was missing the "good life" of the world....it left me empty, because of my longing soul. I was able to sedate what was right with the "want what

I can't have" need while I was trying out the worlds give and takes, but it was when I return home and alone, that my true longing was revealed

over and over again. It was Jesus.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto Thy judgement at all times. Psalms 119:20

For He satisfieth the longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with goodness...Psalm 107:9.

Very true. some Christian parents will throw the baby out with the bathwater such as when they won't even have a TV in the house because of some bad programs. Or will not allow their kids to go to school dances, or celebrate Christmas or Easter because they are "pagan."

Or they won't allow them to go anywhere with friends for fear they will get "worldly."

I know one Christian family that will not let family members even go to a G rated movie. All they have in their house is a radio that stays on a Christian station.

I know we are "in the world, but not of the world" - but where is the line?

I wasn't really brought up in a Christian home; my parents believed but didn't live it. I too stepped out of home into the party life, Joyful. It didn't last long; I married young and didn't want my kids raised around bad influences. I could never quite enjoy drinking and carousing; too much guilt! And what you say is true; you can run as hard and fast as you can but yourself is still right there in the mirror. I haven't had a drink in 25 years. A lot of people don't like to be around me but......God is always there and I can do without the world. I can't imagine coveting that life now.

Wyguy!!!

I really thought we were going to see a Wyguy on the mellow side all through this thread....

But it true there's two different sides to a coin, and they go hand in hand.

You have to have a head and tail before you can spend that coin any where

Thats our Wyguy and I wouldn't trade him for anything............................................................
