The Rock

     No, I am not talking about the actor. Psalm 95:1 says, "Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
   let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation."  God is our rock and salvation.  Now when you are planning on building a house where would you put it?  On a foundation that is on loose ground like sand, or on a solid ground?  You would put it on solid ground of course!  Because if you didn't then when the ground shifts so will your house, and it will be ruined.  Have you ever tried to run on dry sand at the beach?  It's really hard isn't it?  Because the sand is always shifting.  So when the world is your rock, it's going to shift and change.  What might be true today, may not be true in a year.  But with God, His word is ALWAYS true.  It never changes or shifts.  It is always solid.  What He said 2,000 years ago has been the same today, and it ALWAYS will.  So who is your rock?  Is it the Lord or the world?

The Names of God

     There are MANY names for God.  God can be so many things.  He is the Prince of Peace, Mighty Counselor, The Great I AM.  And so much more!  We tend to forget sometimes how amazing God can be, how He is whatever you need.  If you need a strong foundation, He's a strong foundation.  If you need someone to comfort you, He is the mighty counselor.  God can be anything you need, and SO MUCH MORE!!! 
     That's why we made this series, to remind us all of the names.  So the next time you are looking through our blog, check out "Names of God"  It will be under labels.

Left Out

    I remember the first time I went to a youth group.  I was miserable in the first five minutes.  Do you know why?  So many people come to a youth group and they get rejected.  Please know that I am NOT saying all youth groups are like that.  I am NOT bashing youth groups, I am just saying there have been people who have come to youth groups and have felt left out.  We should never be like that.  We should reach out to everyone.  No matter what they look like, dress like, or talk like.  God loves every single one of us.  The last thing He wants to see, is one of His children feeling left out.  So the next time you are in youth, please remember to talk to those who are sitting by themselves.  You can never know anything about them until you talk to them.  You might never see them again.  So take every chance you get.  Make every second count.

Heavens Grocery Store

Its really cute and neat :) ☺

Heaven's Grocery Store

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read "Heaven's Grocery Store".
As I got a little closer, the door came open wide.
When I came to myself, I was standing just inside.
I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said, "My child, please shop with care".
Everything a Christian needed was in that Grocery Store.
All you couldn't carry, you could come back the next day for.
First, I got some PATIENCE; LOVE was in the very same row.
Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you needed it wherever you go.
I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH.
I just couldn't miss the HOLY SPIRIT, for He was all over the place!!
I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run this race.
By then my basket was getting full but...I remembered I needed some GRACE!
I didn't forget SALVATION, for SALVATION was free.
So I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.
As I wind up the aisle I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in.
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into sin.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful; they were on the last shelf.
SONGS and PRAISES were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, "How much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I smiled at him and said, "How much do I owe?"
He smiled again and said......
"My child, JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO!"

Telegram

     I was in class one day for Bible study, we were talking about modesty.  One of the points were, "I am like a telegram, what message am I sending."  If you don't know what a telegram is, it is a machine that used to send messages to one place to another.  Of course we don't use them anymore, we have more advanced technology.  But when they were used, it really helped people know things faster.  It could keep families in touch, and tell if a train was going to be late.  Anyways, back to the quote.  When we dress, we are kind of sending a telegram to the people we see.  So the next time you are in doubt of what you are wearing, just think..."What message am I sending to everyone?"

Question of the Month

     If this was your last day to live, how would you spend it?  Who would you say you love?  Would you ask for any forgiveness from someone, or who would you forgive?  Just think about it, if you want to, post how you would spend your last days.  Don't worry, you don't have to get personal.
