American Christian.V - Sing Along

If I sing a song, will you sing along?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a week - the heathens aren't falling to the Savior left and right. No one's commented on the t-shirts or expressed their admiration for the WWJD bracelet; in fact, someone mistook it for the new Krispy Kreme marketing campaign: "Who Wants Jelly Dougnuts?" A couple of the weaker Christians who don't wear the t-shirts have given feeble attempts at compliments saying our hero is braver than they...

"What am I doing wrong?" he wonders. "Walk by faith, not by sight" pops into his mind. Right - feelings are never to be trusted, he remembers. "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" He remembers he's an evil, evil creature, beyond redemption except for Jesus' condescension towards him in pulling him from the flames. Had he a whip, he'd engage in self-flagellation like a good Christian, but since such things aren't allowed on campus he settles for simple words and berates himself.

So just keep on singing along - especially when you don't feel like it.

You're almost there...

American Christian.IX - Persona

Every morning I put it on
I walk outside and I am gone
And I don't seem to mind anymore
I can't think what it was like before
I wore it all the time
In the evening I take it off
But there's another one underneath
And I can't seem to find
The bottom of the stack
I might just lose my mind and never get it back
But at least I'll get inside

How do you like your eggs?
Depends on who’s asking…
Why do you love Jesus?
Because he first loved me.
How do you know he loves you?
The sacrificial work he did on the cross.
What exactly did he do on the cross?
He acted as the propitiation for my sins so that I can go to heaven and give glory to God.
What are your sins?
Idolatry, rebellion, lust, deception…the list goes on.
And do you feel forgiven?
It’s not a matter of feeling – it’s a matter of knowing.
Do you know you’re forgiven?
It says so in the bible.
And you believe it?
Of course.
Would you consider yourself a good guy?
No, I’m evil, sinful and depraved.
So why should you go to heaven?
Haven’t we already been over this?
Do you feel loved?
The bible says God loves me.
I didn’t mean by God, I meant in general.
It doesn’t matter; only God’s love matters.
And do you feel it?
I told you – it doesn’t matter what I feel, it’s what the bible says.
