Prevalent moral filth

Sometimes it is the hardest thing to be seen as the "odd one out." situations that come to mind are when so many of my friends and people I love are indulging themselves in moral filth (whatever it may be) and I opt out because of my Christian morals. Im sure a situation like this comes to mind for you when you were seen as the "goodie-two shoes."

Please, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to sound self-righteous and compare myself to others. I myself am full of filth...Im only making a point with my example.

Sometimes it is SO hard to not jump right along side those people and give into the "sexy" lifestyle, the parties full of drunkenness, the sick humor, or whatever.....its evil.

"Humbly accept the word planed in you. "

What does this mean for me?...especially in those situations! It means not joining those who are for whatever reason sinning willingly. I stop to think....ok, what are the reasons for indulging in this moral filth? Popularity with the world?? to be "cool," "sexy," or just "accepted" by the world???

HUMBLE!

God's word says these things are filthy, lies, not lasting, and ungodly.

These filthy things should be so irrelevant to me when it comes to my faith! Sometimes they're not and so "PLEASE GOD! Give me a humble spirit! One that says I only need YOU! and NOTHING else.

And when I forget and stumble....again....open your everlasting, loving arms to me. Carry me and strengthen me.

Amen."
