Hey guys. Here is your stupid video of the week:

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TRY ANY OF THE STUNTS SEEN ON THESE VIDEOS !!!!!

I just recently started hearing about “Le Parkour” or as it’s known in the U.S., “Free Running.” I see these guys jumping off buildings and garages, grabbing ropes and contorting their bodies to fit into tight spaces. These guys are impressive.

The problem is that they don’t tell you about what really happens in the world of “Le Parkour.”

Here is a second video that shows the real world of “Free-Running.”

If you eventually play the game long enough you will get hurt. This guy, from France, tried to do free-running from one building to another, but he didn’t quite make it. He ended up shattering most of the bones in his hip and breaking or fracturing almost 30 other bones. He is now confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life for trying a stupid stunt that means nothing to him now.

That’s how we are in life. We like to flirt on the edge of disaster with sin. And it’s like “Le Parkour.” The guys doing this are impressive to watch, but eventually their luck will run out and they’ll get hurt. You will to if you mess with sin. It is not a game you can play and win.

If there is a sin you’ve been flirting with in your life. Take a moment right now and ask God to help you to walk away from that sin. Know that he will help you in your time of need and that when we have God, we can “run free” in Him.

Have a great week.
