If you do what you do for God's glory you can do anything (as long as it doesn't directly violate a command of God...and last time I checked neither of the things you mentioned do). As Augustine said, "Love God and then do what you want." Great question.

I was just refering to the B.O.Ts and I have always Ioved to listen to music .....so I guess I could say my B.O.Ts are my CDs but it just occured to me that on my playlist it's not just christian music and thats been bugging me because I am always thinking,'I don't think God would be very happy looking down on me' and I have always wanted to be an actress.....not for the fame or whatever,but because I honestly love doing it and I am perplexed. is it okay to do acting as long it doesn't come between me and my beliefs??and is it okay to listen to non-christian music?? I have always learned from my dad that as long as my hearts in the right place then I can go far in life. Hey Greg!

I've got the prize so far on this one. I didn't trust Christ for my Salvation until I was 34 years old. I always thought it was all about being "good". Of course, that's been 17 years ago, and I just celebrated my 39th birthday.... Hey, Leyanet.

Greg you are right! You know I saw your twitter update. About how 25 years ago you turned to jesus. That got me thinking because I always feel bad that I turned to jesus of age of 16 when I am now almost 18 in sept. Everybody has turned to jesus ever since they are little kids. Well I realized that im not only who turned to jesus at late age and I shouldn't feeling bad but I also realized that me being turned to jesus at late age is special because I has through lots of promblems and bad life I have but jesus was trying me to him while I am in the whole life of trouble. I think that is pretty special don't you think? Well that I learned! don't be feeling bad that you turned to jesus at late age. That is awesome! Greg you are right!

I really like those verses (Philipians 3:7-11). And I think we all struggle, have struggled or will struggle with putting something before God because we get busy with things in the world. This is not an excuse, and that's not how I mean it. What I mean is, we get so busy with friends, school, sports, youth group, cell phones, and who's dating who, that we don't spend time and grow in our relationship with God, the one who created us and everything and sent His only Son to die on the cross, but sometimes we just "have other things to do". I think a lot of times we just loose sight of what relationship is really important in our lives. That was awesome!!! I really like those verses (Philipians 3:7-11).
