“Do you remember where we all came from?
Do you remember what it's all about?
When you made a point to be objective,
before you started writing Handbook for the Sellout?”

These are the words to one of my favorite Five Iron Frenzy songs. It’s about selling our your Christian values just to be like everyone else. It is very close to my heart right now.
The world says that Christians need to be “tolerant” and “accepting” and, my personal favorite, “non-juding”, of everyone because Jesus was. It’s true that Christians cannot judge the world according to God’s standards (because they aren’t Christians), but as far as other Christians go…it’s a different story. When Jesus confronted the woman at the well, who had multiple husbands, He didn’t say “you know what, you do have 5 husbands, which is sin, but that’s okay. I am just going to try to love, accept, tolerate and not-judge you out of your situation”. No, He was kind to her, told her about His Living Water, then called her out and told her to sin no more. What an example!
It’s hard to be a Christian sometimes. Take the narrow road and stop writing Handbook for the Sellout.

It really is a very narrow road. I think a lot of Christians have the attitude that when they are saved then they are good to go... but it's so much more than that. Your faith is something you carry with you every moment of every day. Every choice you make should revert back to your faith and why you believe what you do.
