Sin. It's all just a lie. It's a lie that says that you know better than God. It's a lie that says that this will give you pleasure instead of pain. It's a lie that says it's not hurting anyone. It's a lie that says you should due what makes you happy. But true happiness is found when we are most conformed to Christ, and that place is far away from sin.

It's all deception. And we love it. We love to believe the lie, because we want to give ourselves permission for what we know we shouldn't do, yet feels so good.

So friends, save us. Save me. I may say I like the lie, but in reality, I know that my greatest desire is God.

I don't want to like the lie anymore.

Like The Lie

We only have one life that we get to live. We get to go on this journey only once. We don't want to mess it up.

We could make life all about us. I could make life all about me. But ultimately, what good does that do? I like to think that I have a cool song. I like to imagine the rest of the world singing my song with me. But when I'm gone.. when this life ends, what good will it be to leave my song behind? How will anyone singing my song at that point prove to be worth anything?

It won't.

There's only one song worth singing throughout eternity. God wrote the song, and He's calling for us to sing it too. So let's join in His song, and steer the world towards singing it too. Because one day I will say good bye, and when I leave you all behind, I'd rather you sing His song than my own.

Your Song

You complain too much.

Seriously, what's the deal? As a Christian, there should be literally nothing to complain about. We have Christ. We have salvation, what more do we need? Hardships will come. That's part of the package. But there are so many petty things that we complain and worry about. Amazing grace has such a sweet song, but so often, we forget about the song playing right around us. We used to be nothing. We used to be wretched. Look at us now! We have more than we could ever dream of. Let's stop worrying about what will soon fade away.
