the evolution of comprimise & impurity

[goldenviolet]

this is something that came my way, i thought i'd share it.
giving into temptation as progressive, contemporary, or under grace... the predictable progression of impurity...

• tolerate it even though you know it isn't right.
• justify it as a regular accepted practice.
• protect it as a right or freedom.
• i can't exspect purity... it's not in my nature.
• these days you just can't stay away from everything.
• it's an addiction, an illness, that's why.
• i'm under grace, it's small, i'll do it just this time.
• i'll go ask for forgiveness, i go to chuch, i'm good in other areas.
• doing things without even thinking because it's a habbit.

Psalms 119:9 how can a young man clense his way? by taking heed according to your word.
Psalms 119:11 your word have i hidden in my heart, that i might not sin against You.
most of us know that the Bible is filled with why and how to be pure. this above was part of an excersize i dentifying the lies we tell or listen to reguarding impurity. since being impure is the reason why we are seperated from God and is such an important part of our faith, i wanted to post this. seeing it written either makes you think or shows you how far you've grown. another part of the excersize was to write down the lies in your life. from the things that we internalize (like for me... to think things like i'm stupid or that i never get things right) to the impuities we either intertain in our thoughts or with our hands. seeing it written is a real conviction. my list is in my Bible.

What a neat post! Thanks for sharing! It's so true, and I was just thinking last night about how we sometimes do this without even thinking about it. We assume God understands. That is a problem because it leads to bigger sins until some unsavory episode proves God was really serious about what He wrote in His word.
