I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. (John 17:14, NIV)
I’m not a monk, nor do I live in a cloister. I live in a world that decays waiting for a new Heaven to rest.
It doesn’t mean that I can’t hear the same music that people hear, or the same styles that people hear….Though I don’t like that much anymore.
I don’t have to live a double life, but I don’t have to say everything that I do.
Even that I have a chronic problem with guilt, God has absolved me. HE and only HE holds me. (Get the reference?)
It doesn’t mean that I can’t play video games (I haven’t done that in a while!), nor dance (I don’t have a problem with that) or party…erm….rejoice with friends.
