Currently Listening The Changing of Times By UnderOath see related

Ok...so I am going to address some issues I just got done talking about to a great friend. I hope you get something out of this. I am writing this because I love Jesus Christ, I truly love Him, not just talk about Him or go to church, I love Him with everything I got. I trip a lot trying to reach Him, but that is my ultimate desire is to LOVE Him with everything I have.

1. Evangilism- Why? Well to tell of God's glory to every one. I cannot comprehend at the moment as to why someone shouldnt share the gospel, everyone knows they are supposed to. "I am too busy," seems to be a good excuse. Too busy to share to someone about Jesus Christ? Too busy to plant a seed with someone who doesnt know about Christ's love? Or how about the excuse, "It might offend them." That excuse is equally as stupid. You are offending Christ by not sharing his name and not bragging about Him. They are offending Him when they offend you. Some people claim that going and talking to random people is not a way to bring people to Christ. Who are you to question God's power. We are not converting anyone when we go tell them about Christ, we are simply telling them about who Christ is so maybe someday they will realize that is has always been there for them, it just may take a trial in their life to see Him. Or maybe if someone else talks to them about Him after you had planted the seed. Who knows, God does, and that is all what matters. When He says go and make disciples of all nations He does not mean sit on your lazy butts and watch Lost (sorry...never seen it.). What are you doing during our evanglism times? Not all 250 people in Cru have class or homework or work. Take a hour off of work or studying to go tell people about Christ. Did Jesus Christ spend time getting to know people and then maybe bringing up God, maybe, and if they looked at Him funny or rejected  Him, did He walk away and give up? NOOOO. He walked with poor fishermen and previous persecuters, and shared the Gospel with everyone He came across! HOLY COW...is it not being selfish when you dont share the gospel? Keeping this awesome thing to yourself. Do you want heaven to be less populated...do you want that person you hang out with in your class to spend eternity in hell because YOU did not do anything?????

2. Living the "Christian" lifestyle

    When we claim we are Christians we really need to act like Christians. If someone sees us doing something bad, are they going to question us, are they going to call us hypocrites. YES. I get really annoyed, and I am guilty of this, when we do not love our brothers and sisters in Christ. When a non christan sees us bickering with each other and fighting or talking about someone else, what are they going to think? I am so guilty of this, that is why I am writing this. We are supposed love. LOVE everybody! So cliche but so unpracticed. I grew up believing I was a Christian, I was not, I was a guy who said he was and then went and fought with my sister or went and cussed someone out, or talked about someone like they were horrible people. You are supposed to desire to be like Christ. I could go on forever and you would probaly be bored. So I am done on my rant.

  Thank you for your lovely time, and how bout when they is a chance to share the Gospel or act the Gospel out, (every mintue of the day) you do it and not put God on the back burner to suit your own desires. Have a nice life.

Ok....Im here to only tell you a great story. Ive been telling this story a lot lately so I thought it would be neat if I put it down, and what a better place than Xanga. So four months ago I came to school wanting to drink and party...live the college life, right? I had no intentions of including God into my life. I went to the Campus Crusade for Christ meeting anyway...and God really was grabbing at my heart then. I was hooked on Him from then on. I met some new people at afters, and was like wow, I had a lot of fun with them. So...I went to the next meeting...and the next meeting. Some things happened in there that shouldnt have...such as a couple drinking runs...but I did not enjoy them one bit, there was no fun in it. Fall Getaway was absolutley amazing and made me realize that I need to desire God, that He needs to be part of my life at all times, not just when I need Him. Then the opprotuninty to go to Pass Christian, MS came and I was going back and forth on whether I should go or not, I decided the week before to go...best decesion of my life. I learned that I need to appreciate life a little more..that I have it good..that we all do...but I also saw so much hope down there it amazed me...they still trusted in Him after having their houses completley demolished. I came back all pumped up. I kinda got into a routine with life though, pretty much did nothing in the growth spectrum...and then after Thanksgiving one of my friends got killed in an awful car accident...and that week spun out of control..but during that time God held me up, He was my support and my joy. A few weeks later my bible study leader,Adam Parks came to my room and made me think about my semester and what I wanted to do for next semester. I came up with my 1# goal was to become a leader. The next day I ended up being the mc for the Cru Christmas Party and am helping with Porn Nation...and thats the story...and just the beginning of what looks to be a wonderful novel. My goodness God is wonderful and I would also like to thank some awesome friends that I have met...they are part of the reason I am where I am right now...you can have fun without going with mainstream culture and filling voids in life with things you shouldnt...but God has fogiven me and wow...Thanks be to God!
