Didn't you just go to church on Sunday?
Yeah, but I'm not the don't dance, judge everybody sort of Christian. I'm more of the we all sin, try to do your best and do a lot of charity type. I also spent the night at a homeless shelter this week, so hopefully it evens out. It was a friend's re-bachelor party.
Doing one good deed to substitute a bad one is the problem with christians today. There are no short cuts. You know where there are more sinners than a strip club? Packed churches on Sunday. A close friend of mine had a bachelors party at strip club like 4 years ago, for months I was agonizing on what to do, I decided to go, I was so dissappointed on my decision. Live and learn I guess.
"Take up thy cross and follow me" To me this statement scares me, because it's about dying to self, to the material world, and surrendering.
