Some of my current friends at school in the colorguard are a lot different from me. I still love them just as much as I would if they believed all the things I do but recently I have been questioning their faith and moral standards in general.
If you are anything like me the idea of dating, parties, and just about anything that might be morally compromising seems utterly terrifying. Well God put me to the test yesterday and I failed miserably. So there is this game that is pretty similar to spin the bottle as far as the rules go and if a boy rolls a boy then they kiss them and vice versa for girls. I was asked to a party and told we would be playing this and might play it on the bus to a competition.
I obviously declined but in the moment the idea of friends getting to know each other better in this way seemed intriguing. It took me all day to make a solid decision on whether or not to give in to this, though I did decline.
It wasn't until this morning when I found a video that basically slapped me in the face bringing me back to reality. This lifestyle may be popular and expected but that does not excuse it from depravity by any means. If I did this idiotic game with a guy who considered himself gay then could i really defend Christianity knowing i had a 6'6 peice of plywood in my contacts? The popularity gained really seemed unimportant and i can't begin to explain how relieved i was at coming to this conclusion with the help of the vigilant christian on youtube.
The worst bit is how long it took me to get to that point when I KNEW better. I KNOW it is wrong and i KNOW that if thats what it takes to stay friends with them then it is SO not worth depriving myself from God's truth. I will not however make that mistake twice.
