God's Story and My Life

Knowing and understanding the story of Scripture and what it tries to teach us is vital when Christians and others live everyday life. Christians can and should use the lessons they learn and study in the Bible to help them make better choices and live a better life. An example of this is in Luke 6:10 where it states “Do to others as you would like them to do to you”. This verse is saying that as a Christian and follower of Christ we should treat others the best way we can and like Jesus would treat them. Another way to put it is like the verse puts it. People want to be treated nicely and in the best way possible so we should treat others like that to receive it in return. Christians need concepts like this one learned in the Bible to live their lives to full capacity and still be as sinless as it can be in this world full of sin.

Leadership!!!

In this past summer, and into this new school year, I have really been thinking about being a leader and getting wisdom from God in order to be a leader. I went to this worship night this summer where we talked about how God speaks to us. After that night three different people came up to me and told me that God was telling them to tell me that I have a special purpose in this world and that I was called to be a leader. Once I heard this I really thought about it and started looking up passages to help me and started praying about it. I realized that this was really true in my life and it was something I needed to work on as two of my best friends have not fully dedicated their lives to God and they need some spiritual influence. These two passages are just two good ones that I read and would like to share. Romans 12:8 states,” if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[a] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” This verse gave me a lot of wisdom and I also learned that in order to be a leader we need to do it diligently and in order to do that we need to ask God for wisdom and he will give it to you. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.” I believe that as Christians God has given us all a purpose to worship him and be leaders to others who do not worship him. We can have a great impression on our peers and we could change this teenage society if we all could ask God for wisdom and try to be leaders for him.
