Lord help me kill the taste of sin in my heart. Let my ruin not be sweet to me. My heart truly is prone to wonder, prone to seek after the passions of the flesh and the lust of this world. Revive me in your ways and cause my eyes to turn away from worthless things. Let me know rest in you that I may not spend my days in vain pursuits. Lord of my soul, show me again and again the delight of the cross, that my gaze may always be towards the risen King.

Titanic, The Notebook, Unfaithful, Eat Pray Love. Etc. List goes on.
I will advise you to become a mad man.

Mad about the kind of life you want for yourself.
You will win.
A false version of Christianity teaches that as long as you believe in God, you can live however you want.
Biblical Christianity calls for faith that transforms the way we live.
Except she’s not married to some broke, lazy man who forces her to stay home w/ kids, or one who abandoned her and left her in survival mode. She’s married, in her own words, to a kind, supportive, successful man, & she has the resources to live freely and become who she wants to be.
So what’s the point of constantly going public to say you never wanted your husband or your kids? What’s to gain from publicly demeaning people who love and “tries their best” to support you? What is the actual intent? These are the questions.
American blacks are the only group that embraces the worst of their community and claims it as their culture.
Every group rejects the worst of their communities, but American blacks instead make songs about how vain, degenerate, and proudly hateful they are towards others.
