Sorry I have been a slacker on my live journal I'll try to do better. Well, last night again was absolutely amazing! almost 100 students coming together to praise God and give Him the glory for their lives! If you missed it let me ask you a question. What does a Christian look like? Some uptight holy-er than thou type? Someone who carries their Bible around and preaches to fellow students at lunch? What is it that communicates God to the masses?
A little Jewish lady was flying out of New York City on her way to Miami. She looked at the businessman seated next to her and asked him, "Excuse me, sir, but are you Jewish?" "No, ma'am," he responded politely, "I'm not Jewish." After a little while the lady asked him again, "You really are Jewish, aren't you?" Again he answered, "No, ma'am, I'm not Jewish." Hardly ten minutes passed before the little Jewish lady once again queried the man, "Are you sure you're not Jewish?" In exasperation and one final effort to hush the woman's questions, the man answered, "Okay. Yes, I'm Jewish." "Funny," the woman replied, "you don't look Jewish."
If someone should approach you or me and ask us, "Are you a Christian?" and we answered "Yes," would they be tempted to say, "Funny, you don't look like a Christian"? But, after all, what does a Christian look like? Well, I assure you it's not what the world's stereotype image of a Christian is. The world envisions a Christian as a sour-looking, holier-than-thou kind of person who is opposed to every form of fun and anything that brings enjoyment to life. But this is a distortion of untold dimensions. The Christian is anything but this dour, negative, pessimistic, unhappy creature the world has pictured him to be. The Christian is the most positive, upbeat, confident, cheerful person you'll ever meet. At least that's true if he truly has the love of God in his heart and the knowledge of God's word in his mind.
No one has more reason to face each day with anticipation and optimism than the child of God. He does not know what the future holds, but he knows the One who holds the future. So why shouldn't he be happy and upbeat? God is working all things to his benefit (Rom. 8:28), so why should he fear whatever may happen? But, you see, my dear readers, though I know what I believe, the question is this: does anyone see that belief translated into action? Can anyone tell by looking? Do you, do I, look like a Christian?
People should be asking why you are so different. They should be calling us a cult.. We are not of this world. If you blend in with the world you are the world. Remember, they mocked God for the things He said, we killed Him because of His beliefs and His stance. The Word of God is TRUTH, no matter how old it is, God breathed it for all the ages. What do you look like? Friends? Parents? Teachers? World? or Christ?
Dare to be different!!!

Tonight was awesome! I can really see God doing some great things in our youth group. The testimonies truly showed that so many teens are truly making an impacted for Christ. From Jake talking a girl out of committing suicide, Lesa getting saved at Scaremare and Jessica getting saved on the pot, I heard I lot of praise worthy comments tonight. If God is blessing you, let Him know how much you love Him by spending time with Him. He wants to be your closest friend, and He should be. LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! Let tonight be an inspiration that God use us and we are the light of this dark world..
Love,
PJ |

Lord, I can't deny Your very presence is my life and why would I ever turn away cause deep inside I know that I cannot rely on anything less than faith. |
