If you're in the know, one of the newest rages on the Internet is FML [warning: mostly mature content], or F*** my life. Like all internet meme's, it is passed on as a joke. Unlike other Internet meme's, FML has meaning attached to it. FML screams something of our culture. To cry out FML without any real self-examination, especially for those living in cushy North America, is a slap in the face to all people living in actual hardship.
My boyfriend broke up with me! FML.
The dog ate my homework. FML.
My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend! FML.
Those are pretty tame examples. I see it nothing more as an attention grab. And how true! For the unsaved, is not life about glorifying self?
But, what of the Christian? I look towards Job.
The Sabeans came and carried off your oxen and donkey!
The fire of God came down and burned your sheeps!
The Chaleans stole your camels!
Your sons and daughters are dead!
You have been afflicted with painful sores!
Your friends blame you!
Your wife tells you to curse God and die! :(
FML? No.... Praise the Lord! PTL.
So my brethren, let's start our own cultural revolution. We will base it off the things that are of Christ.
PTL. It's gonna be a thing.
