The Way of the World

I've always known that we've been slaves to the grind for a very long time. But today, it has just dawned on me on how badly we are affected by the evil that the devil has placed in this world. He does not give it to us straight forward, for he is not stupid. Instead, he laces it behind a seemingly beautiful web of lies, deciet and sheer evil.

Let me ask you this, how many of you come home after work or whatever to Watch Your Neighbours Have Sex? Its a strange question, but i mean it.

Surprisingly, whether you are aware of this or not, I am very sure that we ALL have done this. How many of you have watched a raunchy movie with steamy bits in it? Titanic, anyone? Or maybe Desperate Housewives? How about Eyes Wide Shut? Bridget Jones Diary? See what I mean? That is JUST AS BAD as going home to watch your neighbours' steamy lust.

Have you watched raunchy music video clips with overexposed bodies and very suggestive movements? Sure you have. Call that what you like... Innocent dancing, a publicity stunt, soft porn... The fact is that it IS PORN. And what about those of you who watch porn? Have you ever thought what goes into the making of porn? It is in fact people selling themselves for your filthy pleasure.

This world is corrupted. It is very corrupted. Want to see some examples of what the devil uses to get to us? Want to see what we fall into as we carry on with our daily lives?
-television
-celebrities
-fashion
-material possesions (your plasma tv, your ipod, your handphone)
-education (you'll be interested in this. I shall elaborate later)
-books & magazines
-friends and family
-the all-time popular sex, drugs, booze

The devil uses all the above to fill up our time with entertainment. He gets us hooked, he gets us addicted, he draws away the focus from God. Yeah, he's good at doing his thing. Thats why we as Christians have to be BETTER.

Now I shall elaborate. How the television draws us away from God is pretty clear. Endless mind-washing crap that keeps us hooked for hours and hours. Celebrities? They are some of the biggest influencers ever. So be careful who you idolize. Heck, don't idolize at all! Material possesions & fashion can be VERY distracting. You work your butt off to buy your new Adidas sneakers. The time & money spent could have been put to better use to glorify Him. And in the case of handphones and other electronics, you will have to constantly update these things AND think of the hours you waste on them. I'm sure you already know how books, mags, friends, family, and sex drugs and booze work already. So now for the interesting bit...

EDUCATION
you may not be a student, but this is still an interesting read. Think about this. How much time does one spend at school? Then you come back. Now, how much time do you spend doing your homework, tuition, and studying?
"Oh sorry God, I'm too busy to go to church today because my finals are tomorrow"
This sort of thing is ESPECIALLY true in Asian culture where kids are pressured to do well as it will lead to a successful carreer. HELLO?? Remember, He is the vine and we are the grapes. I can do just anything if Christ he strengthens me. Think God. Now, I'm not saying you should droppout here. I'm not saying that you should turn into one big ol fat slug and mooch around, expecting God to give you the 'A' you "rightfully" deserve. But if you do what you can to your very best, without cutting down any God-time, you can go "God, I didn't study that hard for my mid-term because I was busy studying Your word. Please help me pass this test" Come on now, the Holy Spirit is all-knowing. I'm SURE he can help you through your test, provided you HAVE already done your part.

We need a spiritual revival. I will not stop saying this. The end is near. Look out paradise, here I come. So make every day you live WORTH IT.

I wish to clarify something. I am no pastor. I am not the Pope. I am a teenager speaking what I feel that God is trying to say through me. Yeah, thats it.
