Rocking the World: We are the Next Generation

Have you ever really thought about that? We’re the next generation! Think of all the leaders in this world. That’s going to be us! You could be the next Michael Jackson!
But what if we aren’t doing the right thing now?

We all could be bullies now, and become the world’s worst gangsters tomorrow.
We all could drink a little too much now, And be the drunk driver that killed someone tomorrow.
We all could be the person that hates everyone and everything now, and be the leader of World War three, tomorrow.
We all could be Drug-addicts now, and not exist tomorrow.

I don’t mean to scare you but this could happen. If all we do is play video games, watch T.V, surf the Internet and hang around the house for all of our teen years, we’ve just wasted one of the most awesome times of our lives!

You’re thinking- Well, playing video games, watching T.V, surfing the Internet, and hanging around the house, are the most awesome parts of my life!

Really? Are they? Have you ever watched too much T.V and were totally sick and bored with it? Then you tried a video game, and it kept you content for a while but then you were bored with it too? This is what the bible says in

Philippians 4:12-13

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”

What is it saying? It’s saying that when we are doing God’s work we will always be content. The little pleasures of life seem to make you happy but later they could harm you.

So get up off your butt and do God’s work! Now, Hmm… What can we all do today?…

We all can fight abortion today, and save millions of lives tomorrow!
We all can learn an unusual language today, and translate the Bible into that language tomorrow!
We all can help one another today, and keep the world at peace tomorrow!
We all can write a book today, that will change the world tomorrow!
We all can donate a little money to charity today, and raise millions of dollars for that same charity tomorrow!
We all can tell someone about Christ today, And save that person from living a painful eternity in the fires of hell tomorrow!
We all can start something small today, that God will make BIG tomorrow!

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! We will give our utmost for His highest! We can change the world, If we do it for God.
Nothing is impossible with God!

You may be thinking- I’m out in the boonies! I’m a nobody! I’m to busy! My friends would think I’m a loser! I don’t talk well! I’m scared! I can’t do it physically or mentally! I lie a lot; no one would believe me!

Nothing is impossible with God! If God want’s you to do this, he’ll make a way!

We need to get up and do something positive for Christ! Sometimes I see or think about all the lost people in this world, and I feel depressed.

I would hate to look back on my life and say- “I could’ve witnessed to this person, but I wanted to chat on email.”

Or- “I could’ve been nice to this person, but instead I didn’t want to talk to them, because they were ‘weird’.”

Think of all the lost people out there that need saving. They may not even want to be saved.
Or know that they need saving. But with God nothing is impossible!

We have so little time to do what God wants us to do. And how do we spend it? Watching TV, on the Internet, cell phones I could name a billion things!

But we need to change this world! This world is painted with evil and strung by lies.
We need to spread God’s light to brighten the dark corners of the earth and undo the knot of lies.
We need to do something! Something Big! WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
It may start small, but with God…

What? I couldn’t here you-- Say it again? What did you say? Say it just a little louder...
Oh!
“NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD!”

To God alone be the glory!

The Reward of Surrender

This is a pre-written post that I had written before I ever had a blog. I thought I would share it with you. I wrote it on May 2, 2010...

Seeing the title you may be asking, "Surrender is a reward?" What I mean by surrender is giving it up to God. “God in your timing and your plan.”

I’ve experienced that recently. I got email. Most of you are like. "Cool. I got mine years ago.”

Yeah well, It’s in God’s timing. I surrendered my dream to set up this blog. And getting my email was part of the blog thing. You have to have an email address to set up the blog. So now, again I’m waiting on God (trying to be patient) for starting my blog.

He has a plan and it will be fulfilled in His timing. Also we’ve wanted a dog for years, I didn’t specifically pray for one for a while. But my Mom found this really cool dog online at a shelter, she asked Dad and he said yes as long as the dog’s right for our family and he likes him.

First you need to know a little bit about my Dad. My dad doesn’t like animals, period. Well to be more specific: he does not like owning animals. So this is a miracle that we have a dog! I’m not sure how far away my blog is from being real. But today is May 2nd, 2010.

I kind of unknowingly surrendered the idea of having a dog. I just figured we’d get a dog one-day and that day probably won’t happen for a while. I REALLY WANTED A DOG!

Once I surrendered He gave it to us in His timing which I guaranty was better than mine!

I don’t know when I’ll get my blog, but know it’s up if you’re reading this. I know it will happen. It’s going to happen; in His timing.

That was a while ago... Yet I re-discovered that today. I was suddenly asked a big question that seemed to need to be answered right then. I didn't know what to do. I left the question un-answered, but I figured that God will decide. It's my future, but a future of living like Christ, So I trust Him and His decision. The Reward of Surrender. I felt it as soon as I released the decision to Him.
To God alone be the glory.
Ps. Did you notice that my first post was on May 15th 2010! God is amazing! :)

This Is Love

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1John 4:10

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me." John 8:42

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8
To God alone be the glory!

Rich

I thought this was a powerful little movie. It is true we are blessed with SO much and we are called to give. But as Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:23-24

Though you may have little as my Dad says, "There is always someone wealthier than you, and always someone poorer than you."

So you, are rich in the eyes of those who have less than you, therefore we are ALL called to give. And remember, we will be rewarded.

Psalm 18:24
The LORD rewarded me for doing right.
Take a leap of faith and give, don't just think about giving, pray about giving, believe that you will give; simply give to Christ what belongs to Him.

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
James 2:17

"You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?"
James 2:20
To God alone be the glory!!

"To God Be the Glory"

God is so good! In the post below titled "Super Bowl" (I posted it before the Super Bowl itself) I said that the best part of the Super Bowl is when the players credit God. Out of the mouth of Greg Jennings, "To God be the glory."
(I think he stole my line...lol)
To God alone be the glory!

Super Bowl

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Millions of people will watch. Some for the commercials others for the wonderful sport of football. Have you ever been to a game, not just football, where you're team scores or something and you and the other fans shout and cheer and whistle?

You get this cool feeling. You are high-five-ing with people you have never met and everyone is excited you can barely hear a thing above the excited yelling of the fans and you get this cool feeling. Like an adrenaline rush. The whole stadium erupting in cheers!

That feeling. It feels so good. So, on earth if something is that exciting and people are cheering that loud: imagine Christ's return!

Every tribe, every tongue and every nation praising the King of kings! Our God's triumphant return!! People will be praising God and loving one another. Imagine the day, of Christ's return.

Another point I want to make is this: My favorite part of the Super Bowl is when one of the teammates praise the Lord for what he has done for them. Sometimes it's from the losing team, sometimes the winning team. But that, to me is WAY more exciting then my favorite team winning the Super Bowl. Think about how you can praise God this week.

Praise him for the many blessings he gives us each and every day! Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord, God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come!!!!!! (Revelation 4:8)

To God alone be the Glory!!!!!
