Taking Things Too Seriously?

     I like to self-evaluate.  I know I'm a great sinner, in need of a great Saviour.  I know that even though I've been saved since 1994, and that I've been growing by leaps and bounds in my walk with Christ these past five years, that I'm still very capable and very adept to sinning.
     All that being said, I wonder at times if maybe I'm taking things too seriously.  Am I drawing a line where one is not necessary?  Am I understanding the English interpretation of the Holy Bible incorrectly?  Am I living in extremes?
     The answer varies.  I have drawn unnecessary lines, based on ignorance or immaturity.  I have also simply stayed behind the lines God has clearly drawn.  I have misunderstood Scripture, but also by His grace understood it by interpreting Scripture with Scripture.
     Am I living extremely for Christ?  Some would say, "Yes."  Some would say, "No."  Others might say, "I dunno."  The question I must ask myself is this one:  "Am I willing to live according to God's Word, even if the world or other Christians think it extreme?"  The answer I hope will always be the same as today:  "Yes."
   

Titus 2

 ¹But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
   ²That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
   ³The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
   ⁴That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
   ⁵To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
   ⁶Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
   ⁷In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
   ⁸Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
   ⁹Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
   ¹⁰Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
   ¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
   ¹²Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
   ¹³Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
   ¹⁴Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
   ¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
