Am I a stereotypical teenager?

What do you think of when you hear the word teenager? I've heard many things, the most common are sarcasm, dating, teen pregnancy, swearing, dropping out of school and smoking. The sarcasm apparently comes with being a teenager, it has become a stereotype that all teenagers are sarcastic, ungrateful messes. I want to prove that not all teenagers are like that. I know many of my friends certainly aren't like that and they're mostly all teenagers. So let's go through and prove everything untrue! The thing that I hear the most is that all teenagers are moody, sarcastic and rude all the time. Now I am not going to say that I am never moody or rude but I am going to say that I have my nice moments and I do actually like being with my family and friends. All people have their nice moments I think. Also don't tell me that adults can't be rude and sarcastic because that's just a lie if you think that's true. I do acknowledge that most teenagers and people...

Why I respect beggars

Money. It separates everyone. It stereotypes people. Poor, in-between and rich. Rich people talk to rich people, poor people talk to poor people and then there is... everyone else. You're probably wondering why I named this post what I did and I'll explain but I had to get that view on money before I began. Have you met people who lie about how they're doing? People who say they're doing good but really they're not. People who are so proud that they need to keep this shell of themselves being perfect. They're insecure that you're going to judge if they actually say what is going on? I've met people like that too. It's impossible not too because so many people are like that now. That's why I respect beggars. When I was writing this I didn't really want to refer to them like that. I didn't want to put that name on them but I don't know how else to get this message through. Why do I respect them you ask?  They're humble. They ...

When you become a Christian you become part of the body. The Christian body also known as the church. Everyone in this body has his or hers unique part to play. 1 Corinthians 12 explains all this so lets go and dive in. 1. We are all uniquely gifted- :11 As God wills He gives us a different gift individually. There are these "gifts" called spiritual gifts. They are given to you by the Holy Sprit. For the most part every Christian will have one because there are so many . I personally have the gift of giving. I love to give and help people but for others it will be different. The neat thing is that God gives them to us because he knows us so well. 2. God put the Body together- :18 Each of us have a part. Like it is the actual human body a foot walks a hand holds a eye sees and so on. 3. All Body parts are needed- :22 Again it is the same as a human body. If you don't have a foot then it doesn't work very well. Also you are never the same if you don't hav...

God sent a unique sacrifice for us. His one and only Son. This is perfectly explained in John 3:16. In four simple steps I am going to explain how and what that means. 1. God so loved me  - :16a  God loves us each individually. He knows us all personally and He still sent His Son for us ! 2. God sent His Son to die... for me - :16b God did die for all of us but when He was dying He was thinking about us all separately.  3. Without Jesus, I perish - :16c Many Christians only half believe that you will actually go to hell without Jesus. You will though. 4. With Jesus, I live forever - :16d With Jesus you don't go to hell and you don't perish. Instead you live forever with him.  There is something I have never thought about before and that is that everyone will live forever. You can do it in eternal torment or you can live with the one and only God forever. It really is your choice because you send yourself to hell by not accepting God. Doe...

Unique 2

Everyone is put in their year for a reason. This talk was based on Esther, who was put in her time for a purpose. That purpose was to save all the Jews. 1. We are all placed in a Unique Time and Place. - For a purpose that only God knows. 2. I am expected to live with integrity.     - Chapters 1-2 - You may be thrown into the deep end but God is with you always. Try your hardest. Do the big and small thing for God. 3. I must stand only for what is right, with wisdom.      - Chapters 3-4 - Take risks for Jesus. Do something in person for Him. Don't rely on social media to do the taking for you. 4. I must leverage my position and power to further the kingdom.      - Chapters 5-10 - Use everything that has been given to you and make God's kingdom bigger. Why was I born here and now?? Am I living my life in a way that can be used by God?? Do I stand for Him in the little ways??

Welcome to a four blog series. They were so good that I wanted to share them with everyone here. Please stay tuned for the three more that I am going to post. It will all be in one week. PSALM 139:1-6  God knows us.  God knows things about you that you don't know about you. He knows you're future, the number of hairs on your body and more! PSALM 139:7-12 He is always with us He is the friend who won't leave you alone. He's always around, constantly listening and always ready to give you a hug. There is nothing you can do to get away from Him. PSALM 139:13-16 He created us God loves us because He created us. He knit us together. He is proud of the creation that He made. You know when a small child drew something and is eager to show someone and the person doesn't seem to care as much as the child. That only makes sense because the child made it. This creation is part of the child. God created us in the same way. PSALM 139:17-18 He thinks about us He th...
