Flee

I found this video today and I thought it portrayed a very important concept well. I am going to read into this film possibly beyond what the director, producer, writer, or anyone else that worked on the film intended (but that is the beauty of the postmodern interpretation of art; you get to add your own interpretation). In this film the young man is fleeing from the man in black. He doesn't try to resist him. When he realizes something is up he takes off. This is something we need to do with temptation. The Bible calls us to flee certain temptation, not resist them head on. We are called to flee from sexual immorality, idolatry, love of money, and evil desires of our youth. So often in life we attempt to resist temptation instead of fleeing from it. We need to flee from those temptations. We are however called to resist the Devil. As you think about this video and this concept use it as an example to follow in life. Do not be afraid to flee, it is what God called us to.

Usually in these spaces you can expect some pithy phrase or a piece of personal information, both of which are intended to reflect the individual. Currently I do not desire to provide either. However I will tell you what you can expect to find on this blog or whatever they are called these days. You will find pithy phrases and pieces of personal information. You will also find my musings about life, generally spiritual issues of the Christian nature (however I don't think you will need to be a Christian to always get something out of it).

I hope you enjoy this blog.
