Jesus Loves Me This I Guess.....

       Most of us sang as little children, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so...." We sang it, we did a little activity, colored, then our parents picked us up, and that was Sunday school. After that you would go home eat lunch and forget. Well, then you've grown, and you might still be getting nothing from Sunday school, but if you think about it, have you been trying? Do you even realize that you've been missing anything?
        Ask yourself, Do I even try to pay attention? Do I even fully understand that Jesus really does love me? Do I know he died because I sin, and that now I actually have an undeserved privilege to go to HEAVEN? If you ask yourself those questions, then maybe, just maybe you'll get the point of going to church. Eventually you will learn what it means to be a true christian, that puts thier trust in an ever loving, but all powerfull, God.

HELP!

  When you feel over pressured at like, sports, class, at home, or somewhere else in life, you may want to just scream for help,and you may wish for someone to pull you out. Well, no one's going to physically pull you out, but there is someone to go to, your heavenly father. The cool thing is, you can go and talk to him whenever you want, he's always there! Not that you'll actually hear him talk back, but you can take comfort in just talking to him, he does listen to you. God does listen, meaning he knows what troubles you. Yet, if that doesn't comfort you, you still have parents, which God gave you to answer some of your questions. Just try to hold on, and when you leave later, you'll have an Eternal Prize.

  In this "Technology Age" full of Facebook, Twitter, texting, e-mail, and cell-phones, we tend to lose sight of God, but there is definantly an easy way to spread God's word, and still enjoy the high-tech stuff we use every day. Post messages on Facebook, saying "God loves you." or, "Read (your favorite verse), it's powerful." and then while your texting say
"GOD LUV'S U" . You can e-mail Bible verses out to some of your contacts, or you can call a friend,and talk about God. There are also many e-books of different versions of the Bible that you can get on your kindle or your other reading technology.See, there are still ways to reach to people in this world, and if you do some of this once and a while, you can sufficiently get the word out. Just try it sometime, it might work.

AMAZING GRACE, how sweet does it sound - TO YOU?

You know the song, " Amazing grace, how sweet the sound...." but do you really get anything out of it? Let's get into a deeper understanding of the words: AMAZING- God is amazing, so of course it's in a song. GRACE- by my definition is grace: a thought or action that shows mercy,love, caring, understanding, loyalty, and forgivness. so if you think about it, Amazing Grace has more to it than ya' think. Go ahead and think of other songs you know, that may have more to them.
