Are You Ready?

While we were at camp Louie Gigilo asked us many times “Are you ready?” and I thought to myself, am I ready? Can I hold myself in any situation and still bring glory to God? As I thought about him saying we should go to bars and talk about God, aka witness to people, but I thought am I ready for something like that. I have never wanted to drink nor given into peer presure just because I don’t want to do it. The big question is could I go to the bar and not lust over the girls who wear rather exposing atire. Could I hang around people drinking and not talk like I would if I wasn’t trying to live for God. And I don’t mean cuss I mean talking nasty about stuff and making innapropriate comments. Well I would like to tell you all this, I AM READY and I have been tested. I went with a friend to some of his friends house. I didn’t know anyone but just my friend but Im not shy so I quickly began joking and stuff with the guys. Well little did I know they were going to drink. The brought out all pretty good bit of alochol and started doing shots and drinking beer. First I want to say this, the host, the guys whos house we were at, asked me if I wanted some and I said I don’t drink. He said you want a coke, which I have to admit was a very respectful thing and I saw something different in those guys from that momment. Well they drank and we slowy began talking about church stuff and God. One of the guys there started telling me that his finace and I would get along rather well because she to is into church and she has been trying to teach him about God. Well push lead to shove and before I left he said he wants me to help him understand also. This guy was drinking a beer, not drunk but drinking, and told me he has to stop drinking mainly for his kids but that he wants to be more responsible. Im waiting for him to add me on myspace and or facebook and I will begin my witnessing. And I will go full throttle because he is really wanting to know. And the other friend I wrote about in my last note/blog, I havent been able to talk to him yet, but the time will come!!! Thanks everyone and please continue praying for me as I teach this guy about God and what God has done for him and why he should live for God. I love you all!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!

Masquerade Christianity

Wow, it has been so long since I have done this! I wish I could write all day every day! God uses me in his time though. The title of this comes from J.T. Cheek, Life group leader, friend, brother in Jesus Christ. One day at life group we went off on a tangent and it all concluded with J.T. saying Masquerade Christianity. It blew me away because that is such an appropriate term for religion in south Georgia. We live in "The Bible Belt". Most of our southern morals are based on biblical teachings. We are getting away from that now but still a lot of our moralistic ideas are biblical. It's not right for this or that ... You get it. Anyway, This is why Christians look weak to the world, this is why Christianity is so accepted into everyone's lives because they see Christianity is just a word and not a commitment/ lifestyle . When you first accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life it's a lifestyle and a commitment to God. I don't know a poll but I bet if ...

My Mansion

I am learning more about myself daily, as I am sure you are as well. Today I began my day as I usually do and proceeded with the typical way I live my life. I did wake up especially early this morning though. 4:30am came early considering I went to bed so late last night. By late I mean I went to be around 11:30 - 12. Going to sleep that late, I would usually sleep in much later than 4:30am, but not this morning, for whatever reason. Well, I got up, took my dog out and came back in to sit in front of my computer, played some video games and watched some movies/videos online. I have always enjoyed a good "reaction video" so I took a stroll down that field this morning. I am always intrigued with how someone from a different walk of life will react to some specific song or something. I started watching a man, probably in his mid 50's reacting to Eminem videos. I was struck with how open minded he was, and realized how emotional Eminem's songs make me. I began to thin...

The Narrow Way

3 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14 Read that and read it again. Think about what that means to you. "Enter by the narrow gate" - to me this is simply saying the narrow gate is the right one to enter through without having read the rest of the above scripture. "For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." - This is something that is so hard for us to comprehend. Not everyone will go to heaven, actually by what this says, many people or most people will go to Hell because they will chose the wide gate and the easy way. By them choosing that way and following that path, they will find destruction in the end. Pain and suffering for eternity. What is eternity, I can't explain because I don...
