I will not take alcohol.
Not in my desert, not in my drink.
I will not flippantly date around--
I will not date at a young age.
I will not take drugs.
That includes smoking.
I will not dress indecently in public.
All these things I hold true to myself --
Essential?
Apparently, not, they're all not essential to Christian living.
& I know that.
... They're just essential to MY living.
And I WILL live like this. Nothing can change that.
It's just like what Mr. McBride said:
The little itty-bitty things don't really matter. Don't dwell so hard on those. At the end of the day, we're all fighting the same battle; we're all working for the kingdom of God.
acceptance,
