Camp Hell

A film. A film that has left me feeling confounded.

I'm mostly confounded by my own feelings towards extremism in religion. As a Christian, I can see how love of the Lord can make one extremely... zealous. As a human, I can see the lack of compassion given by extremists.
I think that I also believe that the closer you are to the Lord, the more real the attacks from Satan become. But I do believe that it's not God who gives Satan his power, but us by choosing our sin over God.
I got a new devotional book recently, I really liked the way that it addressed temptation. Temptation itself is not sin, once you have succumbed to the tempter it is then you have sinned.
In summation... I'm probably a weak Christian. I believe in God and in my Savior Jesus Christ, but I am still very much a sinner and part of the world. I don't chase the Lord's heels, and as I result I succumb to temptations that I don't even realize are temptations. I try though. I love God, and in the end, I think that that love is what He wants from me.
