Snippet
They follow Jesus, just not with every area of their lives. In the
book UnChristian, Barna research reported that 65 percent of
18-42 year olds in America have “made a personal commitment
to Jesus that is still important.” On the surface that seems
really encouraging. But how many of those are followers?
Because, their research also showed that only 23 Percent of those
people believed that sex outside of marriage is wrong. Only 13
percent said getting drunk is a sin. And the list goes
on. In other words, 65 percent say they are committed to Jesus,
but most of them aren’t committed Jesus in every area of their
life. Not a Fan Kyle Idelman Zondervan 2011 pg 146
Scripture
Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
For your ways are in full view of the Lord,
and he examines all your paths.
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them;
the cords of their sins hold them fast.
For lack of discipline they will die,
led astray by their own great folly. Proverbs 5:15-23 NIV

Jin –Love Story Lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6wHIstoAuM
It's from the heart..
It's from the heart right here.. (yeah)
Everybody has a story to tell..
Check this out though
[Verse One]
I knew this chinese dude in Junior High
Part of my crew, everybody knew the kid
He was the talk of the school, intelligent
And well spoken, respected by teachers
All the other students kept their eyes on his sneakers
What can I say? You can tell he's cool if you talk with him
During fire drills girls would wanna walk with him
He could have any chick up in his view
But there was only one girl he wanted to call boo
See its all true, found himself stressed in a dead end
The girl he was feelin was obsessed with his bestfriend
His bestfriends a playa, thats the reason he's pissed
Plus he treat her like she don't even exist
He ain't tryna hate on his man, but there was no help in it
Wrote the girl a letter told her how he felt in it
She was shocked at first of him revealing the truth
Till she realized that she was feelin him too
[Hook: Aja Smith]
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
And you've been thinkin of me
Ohhh..
Uh
So you know as time goes by
Things get a little bit serious
Just listen
[Verse Two]
It was strictly hip hop, now they bumpin slow jams all day
Went from holding hands, to makin out in the hallway
Their relationship, seemed like a dream come true
As time went by their friendship grew
Staring at the stars, trading secrets on the phone
When her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her room
He told her he was a virgin the day that they met
So on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget
Females were jealous, but they still calling him cute
First day of summer school, they rocked the matching
nautica suits
Happy in each others arms, can it be
They found true love, living in a fantasy
Then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact
His son was asian, but his girlfriend was black
Imagine having to choose between the one that you
love or your fam
Thats like cutting off your right or left hand, damn
[Hook]
Uh huh, yeah
I know this sounds like a true story
Coulda happened to any one of us
It's crazy though right?
[Verse Three]
Now if this sounds like a true story
That's probably cause it is
And I know for a fact cause I'm that chinese kid
Mm, lookin back now, I know its more than just a crush
I'm sayin the whole expierience taught me so much
Love can overcome anything that gets in its way
Thats reason I still think of shorty 'til this day
We talk now and then, she's doin her thing
We both full grown up, I think she rockin a ring
I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished
She was there when I was nobody, that's being honest
Ain't no shame, I'll admit it she was there when I cried
So in return I wipe the tears from her eyes
As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded
If his son is happy, hes 100% behind it
Now this is a song I know I had to do
Cause all the stuff I went through might have happened to you
[Hook]
Ohhh..
Uh, yeah
Everybody remembers their first love
You only get one
So you gotta remember
Yeah
Uh
I just wanted you to know
Jin's still thinkin about you
I know you've been thinkin' about me too
Sentence Prayer
Father;
Create in me a pure heart
That only loves you and your ways
Expose my hypocrisy, so I have
A clear choice of an obedient love.
Amen
