Real Christians.

Everytime I saw someone at Carowinds today, with a "christian" tattoo, I wondered how many of them actually live Godly lifestyles.


I hear about it alot, and I've lived it: the "Sunday & Wednesday" christian. The christians who act a certain way around their parents, but diferently at school. The christians who act a certain way around church and around friends. The christians who act like everythings fine but party to get rid of the pain. The christians who destroy our reputations: the fake christians.


Yeah, you may think that sounds rude, and if it did then Im glad the Holy Spirit is convicting you. But this is just one of those subjects I get absolutely F!RED UP about. I've been in that situation, where I was a complete "go after God" type girl on Sundays, and a "flirting with temptation having sex" kinda girl every other day of the week: I was a fake christian. I didnt realize how much of an effect it had on others, until I met fake christians. I know a few (but of course Im not going to put their names on here, duh), and it absolutely kills me to see people living like this. Putting up Bible verses / christian songs on their Facebook status's, and having their "about me's" all christiany, but then going and getting completely drunk and having sex with anyone that sounds good. [Now Im going to be honest: I have 2 people in my head right now, and like I said Im not putting their names up here. This isn't the same situation all people go through, this is just from my own personal experience].

Some people might think: "Why is she getting so mad about something like this? Christians dont get mad!" Such a stereotype, might I add. The Bible says we can get angry about things that go against God & His word, and it says in the Bible (somewhere) that God would rather have us out than have us be lukewarm: He (God) says it makes Him sick. Now, that personally strikes me. I remember reading that back in my "fake christian" days, and being like: nah, nah, nah thats not me. But now that I realize it was me, and I realize that I see it daily, it hurts so bad. Not only does it wreck peoples lives, it wrecks our reputations.

I love bearing the image of Christ. Yeah, I have to give up alot, but Im gaining eternity. Ive already felt some of Heaven, and theres NO WAY I could ever want anything more than that. There are some people, I believe, that have felt Heaven but just dont want to give up the Earthly things: like I was. So there are people that do the fake stuff. Call themselves christians, and go around partying / drinking / smoking / having sex, and it just makes other people think thats who christians are and that its okay to do that: NO! NO SIR! ITS NOT OKAY TO DO THAT! Like I always say when I get on this topic, I'd rather have people say their not christians than have fake christians saying they are. Id rather have someone admit to being broken, and torn up and letting someone lead them to a true relationsihp with Christ. So many people now have the wrong impressions of christians. But sometimes, I dont mind: it just pushes me to work twice as hard ya know? But still, it upsets me still that we have to deal with this.




I think Im done for now, Im getting a bit worked up. LALALALALALALALALALA.





The Earth was shaking in the dark, all creation felt the fathers broken heart. Tears were filling Heavens eyes, the day that true love died, the day that true love died. When blood and water hit the ground, walls we couldnt move came crashing down. And we were freed and made alive, the day that true love died, the day that true love died. - Phil Wickham.

  1. Can you tell me if this is, or ever is, me? Don't worry about offending me. I know you don't me that well, but I'll be able to take it. Lol
