I think of the churches in Asia and Africa. They are flourishing. What are they doing that we aren't here in America? We take it for granted. It's not a treat, it's not a sacrifice. It's a habit. It's complacent. We don't know what it means to be persecuted to attend church. We search until we find the "perfect" church....which usually is the one that doesn't step on our toes or force us out of our comfort zone. When we choose to be challenged and forced to actually KNOW what we believe, the Church will flourish. Screw "hip" screw "relevant", I want Truth and challenge. That's love.

1. Our church has the "rule". There have still been some slip ups though. Rule wont stop it if both want it.
2. I can tell myself every time that I will be a "gentlemen" or its just a friend thing, or whatever. Thats rarely the case though. I'm a dude, and my mind just goes there. Ive found its just easier to set up some kind of boundaries, ESPECIALLY when I dont want to.
