questions on my mind lately:
1) do some of the Christians around me not think drunkenness is a sin?
2) is cussing a sin? i wonder if my stance on the issue has been swayed
by brothers and sisters exercising their so-called "freedom in Christ" to
do so without reprimand. is it only a sin if it causes someone to stumble?
3) is it ever acceptable to cut someone from your life? if so, when?
does it make a difference if that person is a believer or not?
4) are there requirements for me to be in the place of rebuking a brother
or sister other than the fact that the person is part of the church?
5) is one-on-one discipleship necessary for discipleship to happen in a
general sense? am i being disobedient to the great commission by not
currently having a consistent one-on-one discipleship relationship?
6) women.
7) how can i serve those around me now that i am nearing the end stages
of my transition to san diego? if i am not called to lead at the moment,
which gifts or talents can i still use to bless the people in my life currently?

i realize that watching videos and tv shows and movies has become
an idol in my life so i'm giving up youtube and netflix for lent. after
one day without them, i'm thinking to myself "wow, i got so much work
done today. i'm, like, actually an efficient human being." praise God for
productivity and for helping me to focus on Him even more!
