418 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

*Promote Death or Life?*

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world the love of the father is not within them." 1 John 2:15

It's so important for us not to be polluted by the world and what the world deems worthy and cool. There are a few things that I do not understand about our culture. Why do people wear crosses when they don't even follow Jesus but only mock him? It's like in the 80's when Madonna wore a cross yet came out with a raunchy sex book and a music video mocking Jesus.... The world loved this.. Right? the bought in to it but it does not match up! 

The other thing I do not understand is the forever trend that lingers around of the skull and cross bones....  There is a reason it represents poison. Why does our culture want to wear this on shirts, necklaces and get tattoos of this? Because the world says it's neat? Cool? Hot? Sexy? 

I saw a beautiful girl get a tattoo of a skull and bones on my social media yesterday...  this is what I wrote on her thread: 

"So I've been curious why people choose to represent the skull and bones which signifies death?  We are to believe in everlasting life.... right? So why promote death? In the Bible... The hill that they sacrificed people on was called Golgotha - "place of the skulls." It was not a good place...  Jesus was sacrificed there. I think people wear these skulls as a trendy cool thing without thinking about what the relevance is....   Anyway, I honestly have been curious about this topic, randomly saw this post and wanted to see if anyone could shed a better light (then what I understand) of the skull symbol? It has always confused me."

The Challenge: 

When you go to wear something or place something on your body for life think about its significance. Is the meaning going with the ways of the world? Trendy? Hip? Cool? It's vital that we know what we are representing for all to see.  Do you want to represent everlasting life with our father or represent your death? With Jesus we live on with Satan we die..
