Eyes

why hello there! so a few weeks ago, i took my dad to the movies. we went and watched Avatar; WHICH i must say is an awesome movie. my dad and i enjoyed it very much. but it wasn't the movie that got me thinking...it was a commercial type thing for THX. you know that thing in the theaters that always shakes the building? the "wwwwaaaaahhhh!!!!" yeaa; that thing. anyways, when the noise is over a saying pops up underneath the letters THX. the saying is, "Believe Your Eyes." which got me thinking; we really shouldn't believe our eyes. our eyes can deceive us into thinking something is real when it really isn't. false idols and gods that we worship when we really shouldn't. but not just the deceiving things; the real things that actually exist, but are wrong for our spirits. Sex, drugs, alcohol, pornagraphy, even money. yes, i realize that we need money for our needs, but when it becomes an obsession so great that is controls our lives, its turned into something wretched. so heres the skinny: we should not trust our eyes. we shouldn't worship under false pretenses. we shouldn't be tricked into the world's ways. which include: gossip, fame, pride, the media as in MTV and VH1. dont go along with the ways of the world. there is this awesome place for Christian shoppers; its called c28. they carry this clothing line called NOTW. which stands for "Not Of This World". no, it doesn't mean we're aliens, it means God created us, and we're here for the purpose He has planned for us. Be in the world, not of it. don't get sucked into the man's wicked schemes; they'll only tear you down. Only Jesus Christ can keep us up out of the fire.
are you not of this world? or are you apart of it?

Galations 5:13 "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love."
