Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.


FML. DGAF. I hear this crap all the time. There was a period of my life... where this junk was a part of my vocabulary as well.  I'm trying my best to not say this anymore.  Why?

Cause I have more to live for than what this world is telling me I need to live for.  Watch TV for an hour, and you will know what the world is telling me I need to live for.  I need to drink this, I need to buy that, I need to go here and experience that.

But open the Bible for once...and you'll see that NONE of those things are important.  God says to pursue him with everything, and to love your neighbors as yourself.  That's the things that most dear to the heart of God.

And FML and DGAF aren't the attitudes that are going to help us do that.  Let's face it. You're American.  That automatically means that 90% of the rest of the world is envious of YOU.  Most likely, you're in the richest 95% of the world.  And yet... you can still say that?  You don't think that offends God?

I do.

And so I'm going to stop.  I'm going to stop pretending like my life is crappy.  I'm going to stop pretending that God owes me more "stuff".  Rather, I'm going to live like the gospel is REAL.  I'm gonna live like the Bible is TRUTH.

And instead of websites like FML... I'll read websites like this and be inspired.
