No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to us all. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (TNIV) In the midst of striving to magnify the Lord's name in all situations, do so with a pure heart without worldy intentions. Do not seek to praise the Lord for His glory only so you can receive praise from your fellow Christians. It is so easy to straddle the line between both of those extremes, but we must place ourselves so far away from that line that Satan has no way of reaching us from where we are with God. I read this post outloud and it was so cool hear the words as well as reading them. :] Thanks for posting this, this is something that people need to remember everyday. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12: 2 (TNIV) -Bee- Do not easily for get this passage…

Beauty really is a powerful thing that many of us don't seem to really think about unless we see someone who is attractive physically, but we need to constantly remind ourselves that it is SO much more than that. Thank you for posting this and reminding me of just that. :] -Bee- I really liked the different ways you looked at beauty and how it has been used it Scripture.

]]> Comment on We Exchanged the Glory of God by Brittany Vaughn http://forthrightfixation.com/2008/06/27/we-exchanged-the-glory-of-god/#comment-523 Brittany Vaughn Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:01:29 +0000 http://forthrightfixation.com/2008/06/27/we-exchanged-the-glory-of-god/#comment-523 You really hit it home with this one! Yesterday I went to the Dallas Rebelution conference and the drove home the point that idolatry isn't just statues that were worshiped in the old testament, but it is also the things we occupy our time with right now that is taking place of God. Which is why I truly love the blogs I ahve had the fortune of discovering because there are so many things that are connected frmo the Bible to real life that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own by just reading the Bible alone. While the Bible is the best resource and map for our lives, things such as books, blogs, movies, etc. that helps us better understand what the Bible is trying to tell us in today's society serves as a legend on a map. Thank you for posting this, it definitely kept my mind where it should be. :] -Bee- You really hit it home with this one!

If I did not I would not know how lovingly the Lord gave His son so that I (along with others) could have the everlasting life he so desperately longs for us to achieve. Thank you for posting this, I am so glad that the Lord has been speaking to me in all different mediums these past two weeks. May the Lord bless you and keep you. -Bee- And this is why I am so thankful to know Christ.

It takes something as little as recognizing you are in the wrong and admitting it to yourself and God, that shows how strong your faith is, even when your soul, heart, mind, etc. might be... -Bee- i haven’t read Part 2 yet, but I just wanted to point out that the mere fact that you have the courage and the conscience God’s placed within you to post osmething like this is testament enoguh that you are striving to become more like what He wants you to be.
