Relationship over religion.

What Do You Mean?

What do you mean you’re a Christian?

You mean that you don’t have sex until your married?

Do you mean that you're so perfect now cuz all of your sins Jesus carried?

You mean that you can't go out to a bar and have drinks with your friends?

That you can't listen to music that makes you want to throw up your hands?

Do you mean that you're required to go to church every single Sunday?

And that singing hallelujah and speaking of the Bible is your idea of a fun day?

What do you mean God is real he gave my sister cancer?

You mean that he actually cares about us when he holds us in this volatile canister?

What do you mean God’s real? Why would he do this to me?

You mean that I can't go to parties and be free?

Do you mean as a Christian you have to give up masturbation?

That I have to stop saying "yes" to every good sensation?

You mean I can't make out with my girlfriend whenever I want?

That I can't speak freely with curses and taunts?

Do you mean that if I make a ton of money, I am a sinner?

That I am wrong because all I want to be is a winner?

What do you mean you’re a Christian, you mean you're happy and peaceful all time?

Oh so you’re a Christian…so you're that wicked religious kind?


Well…no.

Im just a normal kid.

Im just normal kid in aww of what Jesus did.

You see I became in aww once I started looking past rules.

See rules are made because, let's be honest, we are all fools.

When someone tells us we can't do something, that’s all we want to do.

Jesus gave us these guidelines just to honestly protect me and you.

Religion is something to me that is outdated.

A relationship with Jesus is something that will never be faded.

When I looked past these rules it was then I could answer these questions.

These questions that I can tell you honestly separate you from the heavens.

Alright it's time for me to answer them, and the answer to all of them is there is no answer to being free.

Calling ourselves Christians we are simply admitting that we are anything but free, because I don’t always win when the devil tries to tempt me.

The answer to those questions? Open up the Bible and interpret it for yourself.

What I have found is that we are all spiritual prostitutes with sickened hearts just craving for attention.

So quick to judge, so easily seduced, so controlling and so jealous...just a few I can mention.

So what do you mean I am Christian?

I mean I've unplugged from rules and fallen in love with Jesus.

We may stumble, but he is there with us.

I mean that he is the way, the truth and the light.

What do you mean you’re a Christian? I mean I am fighting the good fight.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
