Have you ever used God as an exscuse?? An exscuse to get out of dates...to get out of things you dont want to go to...to explain away why you don't drink or swear? Do you ever waste time reading christian blogs and the latest "Karen Kingsbury" book as an exscuse to put off that paper due...idk...tomorrow????
I do this ALL THE TIME! Sometimes...I think it's easier to just say, "well...I'm a christian...so..(fill in the blank)" than it is to tell the truth...or do what you need to get done.
The truth is, God isn't telling you to put off your homework or to lie to your friends about parties. As christians we need to learn to get our priorities straight. Yes, it's absolutely wonderful that those christian novels are your favorite to read and it's GREAT that you don't drink (i dont eaither....) but using God as a means to escape ...life...is just not good. I mean...next time your friend invites you to a party, why say, "Can't dude...i'm a christian...God doesnt dig parties!" Why not say "Sure, but I'm bringing my own bottled water." Or "I have a better idea...lets go see that new movie instead..."
And for heaven's sakes alive...FINISH your homework! (don;t forget your quiet time though....HA!)
God Bless
