School Year

Hey guys. The school year is up and coming right around the corner. Some people have started,some still have a week and some are starting in just a few days. Are you nervous? To be honest, I somewhat am.

What do you want to make this year? For one thing, make this year count. Use every opportunity you get to share the gospel. You are the Light of the World and that light must shine through so others can glorify your Father in heaven.

Take a stand for Christ,even when no one else is doing it. Stand up for what you believe in. I  understand a lot of times this can get you made fun of. I've been made fun off for being a Christian. It still does hurt guys,but the pain will be a reward at the end. (And if people are making fun of you for being a Christian,you know people can see you light,but they don't want to accept it)

Give glory to God in all things that you do. Whether you are super smart,amazing at art, love to write, an athlete, love theatre, into music, or anything else, when you do it give the glory back to God. He is the one who gave you those abilities, so why not praise him and give him the glory.When people congratulate you, it's okay to be happy,but remember God is the reason you're doing this.

Be bold. Don't be scared of telling people about the gospel. They are people too and deserve to hear. We can't be scared of what they will think of us. At the end of the day, we are still on God's team, so what does it matter of someone thinks we are kinda weird.

Just talk to someone. This goes hand in hand with being bold. Just start talking to someone,build relationships, and then you may have an opportunity to share the gospel. Building relationships can let the other person know you care before you present them with the subject of God.

All in all guys, make this a year to remember. Have fun, do well in school and love God. He wants you to have fun and enjoy the things he has given you, so why not?

Revelations 12

Here is an old post from the blog on Revelations 12



Hey guys. Revelations 12 talks about the woman and the dragon and it can be a very confusing chapter. But for right now, I want to single in a little more on just one verse.

In Revelations 12:6 it says,Revelation 12:6

Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

 a lot of symbolism in this chapter. The woman represents Israel. Its saying in this chapter that there will be a safe haven for Israel in the last half of the Tribulation (1260 days equals three and a half years). Many scholars believe there will be separate safe havens for non-believing Israelis and believing Israelis and other believing Jews.
