School will be back in session this thursday. I don't know what to think, it being my last year in school before college.
God has given us the most plentiful place to tell people about Christ daily at school. What do we have to lose? We have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Christ said, "Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it and whoever loses his life will preserve it" (Luke 17:33). I know at school it is hard to remove yourself from yourself, to put other's interests above your own (Php 2:4). It is possible because Christ has done it, and by the power of the cross that has saved us, you can too! (1Co 1:18). Think about the unending power that we have for us, for His glory.
Do you get the feeling, being really pumped to tell people about Christ, you get to the situation , and you lose the passion? I've been in this situation about everyday I have walked into school. Take the time to search your heart on where that passion goes for you. When you find it, repent and get back to the grind.

GOD WITHOUT RELIGION (PART 2 OF 3)
This is the second blog of the "God Without Religion
Series." We are trying to answer the question that the author asked me at
the beginning at the book. Can it really be this simple? This simple to live God without having
religion? Here is a story that is about sinful nature. (If you missed the 1st
here's the link, ---> GOD WITHOUT RELIGION (PART 1 OF 3)<---
In this story the author draws a picture of sinful nature
as a rat in you house. He talks about how the rat destroys stuff in your house,
like wires or pipes just anything you can think a rat can do to your house. You
get things fix in your house but you don't know where it is coming from. Just
like us there is sin in our life's that we don't know where it is coming from
and we don't know how to fix it. The sinful nature is not us but it is us all.
We have the choice to let our sinful nature get the best of us or have the mind
of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16). God wants us to think of ourselves as a new creation
and we have the Holy Spirit living in us. The more we trust in God and see that
he is all that we need we will become Spirit lead our thoughts.
The two things that are in my house is worrying and staying
humble. If you have the same troubles I would check out (WORRYING) and (BEING HUMBLE)
