Keeping my lamplight to myself. (Rather trivial but...)

@Roy: Oh yes! Everything in there was pretty much spot on. (I didn't realize that it was an idol of my heart until you pointed it out! :o That's one more thing to pray about.)

@Dave: That... Was such an awesome post I can't even begin to describe its awesomeness. :o I shall be thinking long and hard on it, that's for sure!!

@claudia: Ahh yes, well said. I only pray that my faith in Him will stay strong enough to last all the "agains"! :D

Thanks again, guys, I'm glad I decided to finally ask. ;D

Edit: @Lin: What claudia said. :D

Usually I'm put into a situation where I can't walk away (when I can, I do it too. Better than, you know, appearing to accept it... D: )! God's making me face it head on and, yeah, I always end up bending and agreeing...

By the way, update, totally forgot about this. Today I talked to one of my christian classmates about... Doctrine. And this time I didn't agree!! She started talking about hell, and we had a friendly discussion about it since we were having a free period. Hell is a topic that gets me fired up (pun not intended) but we managed to keep it cool and casual somehow.

I'm just happy I didn't lie about agreeing this time. :D

Dave in Tenn:
I'm happy enough you simply don't agree.   :D  That comes first.

There is nothing like adolescence to get baptized into the realization of every sin, failing, and weakness.  It is an experience of evil (no doubt) by which the Lord will humble you...and everyone who loves you, too.   ;D 

 ...Yet anyone who shall be exalting himself shall be humbled, and anyone who shall be humbling himself shall be exalted."  Mat 23:12

Be humbled, then, under the mighty hand of God, that He should be exalting you in season, tossing your entire worry on Him, for He is caring concerning you."  1Pe 5:6,7

Hi Astropho,

It's understandable that walking away can be difficult to do, but I have found that saying nothing can be a very powerful tool. If someone is then interested enough as to why you didn't say anything, and asks.....

" yet hallow the Lord Christ in your hearts, ever ready with a defense for everyone who is demanding from you an account concerning the expectation in you, but with meekness and fear," 1Pe 3:15 (clv)
