5 easy ways to get wasted!
a new series at Shoreline church
You're not such a bad person, right? I mean, it's not like you're robbing little old ladies at gunpoint, or supplementing your income as a part-time pimp on the side. No, all in all, you've got an okay life. Sure, you're not perfect... but who is? Am I right?
Shoreline Church wants to invite you to show up at the Rave over the next couple of weekends, and we'd like to discuss with you a couple of issues that can trip you up in life, get out of control, and leave you wondering how it all went so wrong so quickly.
You might not consider yourself a church person. Here's Shoreline's promise to you: You won't be bored. You won't be pressured. You won't be spammed. You won't be asked for money. It won't be what you expect a church to be.
Shoreline meets at the Rave movie theaters in Destin, every Sunday at 9 and 10:30 AM. Childcare is provided for children of all ages. For more information about the church visit www.shorelinechurch.net or email or call (850) 650-8658 during regular business hours.
Blame It On The Alcohol
January 3, 2010

We've all been there; There you were, innocently surfing the web. Next thing you know, you've clicked on one too many links, and now windows are popping up all over your screen faster than you can close them out, and your monitor looks like a back alley in the red light district. And once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. But does this easy access to porn make your life better? It's not hurting anyone, right?

I Can Quit Whenever I Want
January 17, 2010
There's a fine line between a pastime and an obsession, and sometimes it's pretty hard to tell when we go from enjoying something every once in a while, to enjoying it regularly, to a full blown addiction. Nobody likes the word "addict" because it conjures up pictures of junkies and 12 step programs. But how can you make sure that you're in charge of it, and not the other way around?

Your Cheatin' Heart
January 24, 2010
Nobody goes into a relationship anticipating the break-up. Nobody get's married, expecting to get divorced. Nobody wakes up and suddenly thinks "hey, I think I'll cheat on my wife". But affairs have become so common in today's society you've got to wonder how it happens. What makes a committed spouse start wandering? What makes someone stray from a loyal relationship?

Oops, I Did It Again
January 31, 2010
We have the amazing capacity to judge what other people do based on their actions, but we're much more lenient with ourselves, and judge ourselves on our *intentions*. "Oh, I didn't MEAN for anyone to get hurt." "I never INTENDED for this to get out of hand. "I didn't THINK this would happen again." So what's the difference between the Biblical definition of "sin", and making a mistake?
