Darkness can't drive out darkness!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.

So about this quote, I was really thinking about it! For some reason I was thinking really really hard about how true this statement is. My brother and dad have both spoken some stuff about worldliness.I think about how so many Christians are deceived and don't comprehend that when you're acting just like everyone else, you can't change anything.

So to me this quotes sums it all up quite nicely, darkness cannot drive out darkness, so when you are just like the world, you can't make a difference, you can't change what you are yourself. Hopefully that makes sense...lol

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."
-Romans 12:2

To me it's crazy that us as Christians seem to act just like everyone else in the world, ones that don't even follow God. We listen to the same stuff as them, we watch the same movies as them, we act the same way as them, we date the same people they do, we say the same things they say, we lower our standards, we desensitize ourselves. People, we CANNOT let this happen to us! People want someone who's different then them, because why in the world would they follow someone who is just like them in every aspect, answer is they won't! We are called to be different, and if you want to make a difference to those you hang out with, you can't be just like them. Because you lose your credibility when you party with them, cuss like them, and hook up with people like them! Don't trash your testimony guys, God has called you to be greater, we are supposed to be different and make a difference!! Darkness can't drive out darkness..

So let's be set apart, let's stop conforming to this world in every aspect! We are called to make a difference and in order to do that we need to be different, we need to be light that drives our darkness, because being like everyone else does nothing.

&& remember ALWAYS BELIEVE
