So It has been days or you can say weeks since the last time I have blog. Well so what have been up to do you wont to know. With work it has been crazy with all the Christmas stuff that is out at the store and then there is Thanksgiving which I will be working because will are having Thanksgiving Dinner on Friday because we are all working on Thursday. so what has been going on with ELEVATE is that a couple of weeks ago I had to do this preaching topic it need to be 10 minute long and well mine was 3 minute long but everyone said it was very good so I thought I would sear it with you and you tell me what you think.
Speaking up in Faith
I have a hard time speaking up in faith. There were times in the past that I would not speak up, when my friends where doing things that I know were wrong. I would just go along with it. With out tell them how I really felt about what we where doing. I know that it was wrong but I wanted to be in the group. So have any of you had that problem where you know that it was wrong but you wanted to fit in, wonted to belong, be in the “in crowd”. Just went along with them so they would think that you were cool. So why do we need to fit in? Why do we need to be in the “in crowd”? Like why do we need to be of the world? Jesus said in John 17:16 “they are not of the world even as I am not of it”. What we need to learn from this verse is “we need to be of the world but not in the world”. We need to go out it to the world and lead by our action when we know that it is wrong. We need to speak up. Don’t let some one talk you into doing something that you know is wrong and not of God. I’m going to leave you with this think what would happen if we did not stand up and speak out for what we believe in. There would be more wars, valiance in the world that we live in today. People need to stand up for Christianity in today’s world. So the future generation will still have something to believe in and to stand up and fight for what they believe in.
