Light knows nothing about darkness; but when the light shines it overwhelms the darkness, and exposes darkness to be totally empty and powerless. Matthew 6.22-23 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Luke 11.34-36 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light. Then K.O.G street smarts would be all about being light, and only light. I'm guessing some people might think, "Well what if I've already experienced too much darkness?" The truth is that when the light of Christ shines into your life and you give your life to him, you become light - you are now in the light as he is in the light. One of satan's primary tricks to take away from this reality is to try to pull on old memories of sin - and pulling on them in a way that convinces us to own them and repeat them. We need to become sooo shrewd and skilled at side-stepping this. The truth is that if you mention the same memories to God (old experiences of sin that you confessed and have been forgiven for), God doesn't know what you're talking about! He's eradicated those sins, separated them as far as the east is from the west, cast them into the depths of the sea; drowned them in the blood of Jesus. If we are willing to learn from God how to cast down those imaginations (because that is really all they are at this point) - we will find the memory of sin has absolutely no power over us. No matter what you've been through, sincerely confessing sin makes you 100% full of light, with no part left darkness >> So true.

Take the word of the Lord. The only thing i have gained from any of those experiances is that the blood of Christ is good. the ten commandments would help to give us a clue. if you’ve already grown up in the world doing whatever the world says to do, you probaly know waaaay more than you need to. i for one have explored all kinds of sin and there really isn’t much to it.
