Enemies / Acceptance by the World
We all think boo hoo when we're not excepted for the way we are at school by certain click groups. Well maybe its a good thing.Maybe God doesn't want me to be with those people.Did ya ever think of it that way before?? You may think " Well all I have to do is change my hairstyle or dress like a punk."But I'll tell you the punk look is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. I mean all those tattoos. What is sooooo cool about that????????? In Bible times tattoos were a sign of rebellion against God. You may ask " Are these people my enemies? You could say that,or you could say they are an example of what I'm not going to do when I grow up or when I go to college. Besides who was the person who said lookin like a punk was cool ? Only you decide who you wanna be.

So don't think it's not your problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in agreement with that. I think youth today should just be themselves and not worry about fitting in to certain cliques, Christian or not. All the more if one is a Christian, one should not try to conform to the ways of the world, but to live a life that sets us apart. We are in the world but not of it.

We are also called to not judge. You are right, the Bible does speak against tattoos, our bodies are the Temple of the Lord. But to call someone's "style" or whatever you wanna call it, stupid, is not very nice. It is our job to love on them no matter how many tattoos they have, no matter what their hairstyle is, and no matter what color it is. One of the most godliest girls I know has pink hair. Sometimes we are too quick to judge because of the person's appearance, I am guilty of that too, and I pray that I will no longer be that way. Friend, as Christians we have no rights, and we certainly do not have the right to call any kind of style "stupid" even if we don't agree with it.
