CUT ME OFF
I started at the top
I decided to dig deep instead of build high
I thought this was right
I pierced the roots
Made everything lose
The stability it once had

Now I look up from my work
To see the light has disappeared
You left me dirty and alone

What have I done?

This is my lowest point
I’ve lost all dignity
I climbed for days and you never came

Where have you been?

Suffocation:
Buried beneath my own work

Where are you now?
Redemption has lost it’s way.


DIE ALL : MASKED VILLAIN
A tree doesn’t withdraw it’s roots
LEARN LIAR
Your words turn to dust as soon as they leave your mouth
LEARN LIAR
I have the highest respect
for those who take my name in vain
for their intentions are true unlike you

Your so
BACK AND FORTH
and
YOU WILL BURN
Hypocrites you will burn!

I’ve shut you out because
every word that comes from your mouth
falls to the ground from the weight of your lies
open your eyes and see
that hypocrisy brings apathy
and I will not leave until you have seen

Your so
BACK AND FORTH
and
YOU WILL BURN
Hypocrites you will burn!
All hypocrites you will burn!

CHECK IT OUT!!!

IT COMES OUT AUGUST 11TH GO GET IT!!!!

BIGGEST Misconception About Christianity

This is the biggest and most common misconception about christianity by the world, and even by christians, and it’s stupid. I don’t think your stupid at all though for believing it because you haven’t had a good example to know what real christianity is like.

Christianity rules by Christians:

DON’Ts:

Cussing

Drinking

Listening to Cussing

Sex Before Marriage

Smoking

So many more that I can’t remember...

If you do any of these it is a sin, and if you do it a lot much you will burn in hell.

DOs:

Ask Forgiveness

Take Communion or Jesus doesn’t love you (Also you can’t do this if you’re not baptized)

Give offering or Jesus doesn’t love you

Sing 100 year old hyms (If you don’t you get that awkward christian no no stare)

A lot more...

If you don’t do any of these Jesus doesn’t love you, but if you start it eventually Jesus might love you.



Christianity rules by The Bible:

DON’Ts:

Fallow any of the rules listed above

DOs:

Love Jesus



People, live by what the bible tells you NOT what people tell you!!!!


Go get mewithoutYou's new jams.

Tag me and sell me.

I HATE STEREOTYPES!!! I've been stereotyped twice in the last two days because I'm a Christian. Once because of pure ignorance, and once because of what the person has been told, and fed about me by my family, and I hate it. Basically the first was what I have, or will do since I'm a Christian, and it didn't really bother me because the person was talking about drinking, and I have no desire to do so, but it still baffles me that people stereotype people just because of their beliefs. Second is someone who is with my family a lot, and knows us pretty well, but still judges me by what my parents rules are. I respect my parents rules, but some of them go against what the bible says, and they either haven't read it, or just ignore it. So I disagree with that, which is judging people who cuss. I discuss this a lot because it is a big issue in my life because I can't listen to the music, watch tv shows, or talk to people I want to because of this rule. Also they judge people intensely because of this. So basically this person doesn't show me, or goes out of their way to not show me, or let me hear a cuss word which I am very thankful that they respect my parents rules enough, but when they say things like "Oh, they can't watch or listen to (insert crap here) because their mom says they can't" it kind of gets annoying. Also this has nothing to do with life lessons, but the music industry is killing the music with all of it’s stereotypes. Really in my views these are the only genre’s there are. Rock, Country, Rap, and Punk Rock. Now I will go into a few sub genres but not all this post this, pop this crap. So basically to me Metal is heavy rock, pop is a mixture of country and rock, R&B and Hip-Hop are all some type of rap, and hardcore is heavy punk rock. Why do people have to make things so dang confusing?

Jesus needs your $?

I'm having a discussion at the moment with a friend about what is and what isn't an outreach. Basically the debate is wether a band who's mission is to spread the love of Jesus, but has to sell tickets is a ministry. I personally think it is because one the band is spreading the word about Christ. Two bands make nearly nothing on the road, sometimes not even enough to get to the next show, so they definitely aren't profiting. Three everybody has to have a job to make it, unless you want to live on the streets. If you can have a job that totally revolves around reaching out to kids with the word of Christ, what in the hell is wrong with that? Lastly, I agree that it would be great if bands didn't have to charge for their shows so that more kids could come, and hear the good new, but lets face the facts. Life doesn't work that way, and I hate to say it, but our physical bodies need money, because we need food which costs money (unless Oprah gives away some more chicken). I hate that the world has come to this, but it has, and the only way I know how to live without money is to go dumpster diving for food, and you would reach a few fellow dumpster divers with the word if they cared to listen, but I think that you would reach a lot more at a show that someone paid to see. If you haven't figured out already, my friend thinks that it is not right to charge kids to see a show because it would put a dint in the amount of people who would come to the show.

Chew on this for a while,

Folks, this changes things...

I won't judge you...No matter what you say, do, listen too, look at, or whatever else. I live in a house where a lot of things are judged, and it's wrong, and I'm sick of it. I need to just man up and confront my family, but I hate making people mad at me, or making them feel bad. Jesus said in the bible to not judge, that it is exclusively his fathers job when it's your time to be judged at the narrow gates of heaven. I wish I was a scholar, and could give you that scripture off the top of my head, but unfortunately I am not. Once I go over the scripture again, I will post it so I have some proof. You can say whatever word you want to me, I am not afraid of what my parents will say anymore, I won't cuss, because I'm not a big fan, but it's not my job to tell you that it's wrong, and that you're going to hell if you do. I love, and respect my parents but I also have to do what my creator created me to do, which is to love, and not to judge. I love you. No strings attached.

Praise be to God forever, and ever, Amen.

Help Ourselves...

So my last blog was about helping each other, and now this one is about helping ourselves.

My family is going to a screwed up church right now. Our preacher is leaving in March, and the church is worried about fixing walls, and making things look nice. That's cool, if one, you give more of you're money to people who need it, than sprucing up you're building, two you have enough money to do so, and three you make sure you have somebody to preach. So this church has problems. My whole family complains about it all the time, and guess what. We never do anything about it. We still go to church there every Sunday, we never take the time to look for a preacher, and we don't advise the head of the church to do so. Also I've wanted to go to a different church because of all of this, and was told the church that I wanted to go to was to far away to travel every sunday, when we go the same distance once a week to shop. Friends, we should help each other, but we should also help ourselves. If you don't like something SPEAK UP, if you're going to a messed up church, GO TO A DIFFERENT ONE. HELP YOURSELF OUT!!!.

May God's Grace Pour Over You All,
Colton
