can hide under the hair, this is bondage to man.
me: I will probably regret this post, as I am sure I
will get "blasted", BUT the Lord is NOT pleased when
we do something out of obligation *or* because we feel
that we HAVE to. He is pleased with us when we
do things for Him out of our LOVE for him.
I LOVE the Lord and I CHOOSE to live an overcoming life.
I CHOOSE to live a separated and Holy life to the best
of my ability. I CHOOSE to look how Christ would want
HIS bride to look. I don't believe Jesus is coming back for
a bride that looks like a prostitute on a street corner.
The Bible is *very* clear on how we should walk, talk, dress,
look *and* act. It is my desire to live as close to the Word
of God as possible, not see how much I can "get away"
with and still be "OK".
Your friends aren't fooling God, they are only fooling
themselves. If they are in bondage to anything, it
is their desire to be more like the World and less like
the Word.
Blast away!!!!!
