Y: #YOLO

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement

Hebrews 9:27



For the past year or so, I've been hearing young adults use the word "YOLO" to explain why they take risks or make irresponsible choices. YOLO, for any who do not know, stands for "you only live once."

That sentiment can be taken in a few different ways, as The Lonely Island song, "YOLO" demonstrates (a parody about being overly cautious so you don't die): 


But, everyone is going to die, so instead of using YOLO as an excuse to push boundaries (or never leave the house), please use this as a reminder that you will also only die once, and then you will face judgement.

Your past doesn't disqualify you from God's grace. But refusing to acknowledge Jesus Christ's sacrifice and accept the grace freely given, will. You never know when you're going to die, so please make a decision before it's too late.

  1. We live life as if there is no tomorrow. What if there weren't?Would you or are you willing to take that risk?
    Our lives are a blink of an eye,if even that compared to eternity,and we feel we have all the time in tge world.We don't.Even if it is another 30,40 50 years. It could just as easily be just one more second.
    It can never be to early to ask for forgivness,but it can be too late

  2. Your next post will be the last of the 30 day challenge.
    CONGRATULATIONS.I must say I will miss the daily, but will still look forward to the twice weekly.
    This was a good exercise for me also.Sometimes we know what we believe,but this helped me to look at more deeply why.
    You had mentioned befor that you felt the FOC would be changed from the outside,the first step to that is awareness.
    It is inevitable that you prompted someone there to read this and wonder why.
