Never to Be Undone

I had a long talk the other night with some good old friends (people who have known me longer than almost anyone else I know!) and the conversation was really interesting and revealing. It was both fun and encouraging to share views and experiences, even if we did just discover that life is equally disheartening, at times, in all directions.

We talked about how strange it is that there are few good Christians in the world, at least Christians who maintain a public desire for purity. So many Christians are content to just slip right into the ways of the world. I don't call myself innocent on this count myself, in all ways. It's easy to be deceived by some people and to fall into the traps that are laid in sin. Sometimes people can be that conniving and deceptive, and sometimes even Christians can be that stupid, whether it comes by the help of others or not.

The part that bothers me is the bragging and unrepentant attitudes. We are so quick to judge other people for their wrongdoing, but so many of us are already too far gone to even consider what we might be doing wrong in our own lives. We all make stupid decisions and create through our errors and instead we think only about what we can gain out of the things that we do.
We create disasters for ourselves, but we cannot seem to learn from those mistakes and stop making them. We don't realize what we may have destroyed
But...what are we losing as a result of our errors?

I have to wonder sometimes...

This has been a lifelong fear of mine and yet I walked myself right into some of these set traps as if I had forgotten...
