Repeating Repentence

Steve Pickel preached on something this morning that I thought was very interesting, and made me wonder. There are those people who think that they can do whatever they want, and know they can just ask GOD for forgiveness later. Yes, you can do that, but why would you? Just because you can say you are sorry for drinking or cursing or whatever it is, and GOD will give forgiveness, doesn't mean you always should. "Repenting is a gift", Steve said this morning. If you use a gift too much beyond its advantage, you are going to loose it. Forgiveness only goes so far. So here is the picture I'm trying to create. You can ask GOD for repentence, but when you sin intentionally, just so you can ask for that thankfulness, I don't think thats right. What are your thoughts on the issue?

PEN15 and Birds of Prey

Well, I haven't posted in over a month, so sorry for not giving you stuff to read. School starts back on Tuesday, and I could not be more dreadful. I get to be a sophmore this year, which has its pros and cons. I won't get made fun of nearly as much as a freshman, I get to have better classes, my day is going to seem a lot shorter, and I'm used to the routine. The downside is that I get thrown out into the high school field to deal with all the jerks in the entire school, I will have to work a lot harder, and I have a career center class (that may not seem bad, but I get sick on bus rides, so I'm probably going to get sick on the way up there every day). It could be a lot worse, but I just have to get in my mind that GOD is going to be right there by my side, and that i have nothing to be worried about (except for the fact that Lindsey is in the homeroom next to me, which is anybody's biggest nightmare. JK). So I will try and blog more often, but with school coming around, I seriously doubt it.
