Jordans vs. Jesus: Does it even make sense?

A world dominated by the material things.

Jordans vs. Jesus: Does it even make sense?
thesweetsetup.com

A world that is dominated by iPhones, the internet, fashion, and relationships is a world that leads to emptiness. Maybe, starting today, this can change by redirecting our thoughts towards healthier lifestyles.


We are materialist beings

Molded, shaped, destroyed

Employed by secular ideals

Feeling nothing that is real


Why do our iPhones

Take up more time than our Bible

We’re unreliable and its undeniable

Our priorities aren’t straight


Why do humanly relationships

Attempt to fill a hole

Never keeping our soul satisfied

But Jesus has no role


Maybe one day we will see

To flee our pain and suffering

We will ditch our surface covering

And get deep


We care more about a stain

On the whites of our Jordans

Than we ever could about the pain

We inflict on others


Do you see what I’m saying?

How sad is this life of ours?

Maybe I’m sour, a dead flower

Hoping to finally get some sun


Unplug from the internet

Social media, Google, Soundcloud

Stop listening to the newest mixtape

Escape from the prison you are in


Appreciate,

Eliminate the empty space

Fill it with faith

Get your life straight


But what hypocrite am I

To lie and say I am different

The truth is I feel like I would die

Without an iPhone by my side


The stains on my shoes bother me

The internet makes me feel free

Does everyone see

The emptiness within me?


My headphones are in my pocket

But my Bible in my drawer

I want to soar, ignore the truth

Yet the truth shakes me to my core


I see more SnapChats than Pastors

Facebook likes are a must

This trust, this lust for attention

The Bible never mentioned


I guess we’re all afraid

To lay down our lives for Him

We would rather sin, then begin

To make a difference


Today is the day of change

Can you accept my call to you?

Our lives need to be rearranged

We know what we need to do

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
