Do you ever get upset with people? Tonight I went to a friend of mines bachelor/tool party. It was complete waste of my time. We went to eat and the whole time the subject stayed on sex thanks to all the married Christian men at the table and the non-Christian non-married men at the table. Of course they were all like guys will be guys and I was like well I guess that I am not a guy. I was not a very happy camper the whole time and I did not care about being a party pooper. The guy who is getting married ask me after we were leaving the restaurant if I had to be a preacher all the time. In which I responded no but when I accepted Christ I also agreed to be a Christian al the time. No matter where I am or who I am with. Needless to say I was upset especially when they were trying to decide what strip club we were going to. Of course I knew that we were not going they were just joking but at this point I was very much ready to go, but unfortunately I did not drive(I will not make that mistake again). I just don't get it if we can't be Christians with a group of people who are supposed to be Christians how much easier will it be to not be a Christian with non-Christians. Just typing this upsets me because these people I was with were people I used to confide in and have bible study with but all they wanted to talk about was filth and I was completely disgusted. We are called to be little Christ which mean to be Christ to a lost and dying world and that is a 24/7 calling. There are no breaks in this and no way around it. Plain and simple if we claim to be a Christian then we are to be a Christian all the time no matter what. No excuses.

just so you know...i understand what you are talking about. i forget the exacts of the situation, but i remember the guy saying "i'm not a youth pastor right now". i mumbled "but you are still a christian." it seems like sometimes christians get around a group that they believe are christians and just say what they want because "they are christians. they know i'm a christian. they understand." people don't like to see another christian acting as they always do. they want them to fall a little too and joion in. i am thankful that you stick to God and what is right. it's ok to be disappointed in the situation. you are not alone.
