I take this post as a warning to submit myself to Christ and to "put on the full armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil..."(Eph. 6:11)

It is a somewhat frightening, but necessary exhortation, and not one to be taken lightly. Thank you, Brett.

I could have almost cried as I read this post. It is so real. In my own life, I work for about 40 minutes a day on an encyclopedic website, and the filth that comes across the pages have been making me wonder if it's a compromise to be working there (although I back out of them as soon as possible). I'm seeking God's face now as to what to do about it. Thank you so much for reminding that to live a life of no compromises (my life motto!) requires doing hard things. It's very encouraging to see other teenagers adamant about following hard after the Lord.

Amen, and I highly recomend reading the "Rebelutionary, Meet Your Comander-In-Chief," if you haven't already. Don't try to change the world based on your own strength of will or even stubbornness. It doesn't work. Believe me. I've tried. Only His power is enough. Without it, we can do nothing. With it, we can do all things.

Note: There never WAS a time for lukewarm Christianity.

wham. there we go...let's keep the stone from going any further down the hill. Actually, let's push it back to the top while we still can.
Thanks for this post--I needed it. You guys have favor from the Lord, and He's using you. Keep at it!
