All in the name of freedom in Christ.<br />All the while forgetting that freedom may not mean what we want it to.<br /><br />Eh...I'm rambling now, lol!<br />PaulaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496614522922016531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667923606438454545.post-77881391316770681632011-08-04T12:33:19.320-05:002011-08-04T12:33:19.320-05:00Paula,

I know they are out there, and its a shame that its done, but none of this has crossed my mind.<br />Sure I cover and wear mostly skirts, and am careful about what music I listen to and what foods I place in my body (my life depends on it) but so what? <br />Unless the Scriptures have a hidden passage that states that these are things that we are to set aside as worldly when we take up the cross of Christ, I cannot agree.<br />I realize its easy to cross over to works only, but a disciplined life in Christ does not allow for that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496614522922016531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667923606438454545.post-57202769567560555872011-08-04T07:25:21.049-05:002011-08-04T07:25:21.049-05:00Amen and amen sister!Amen and amen sister!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933602709751520328noreply@blogger.com
