hey! What's up people! How are yo liking my blog? I'm willing to adapt to your ideas as long as your reasonable and it goes with God's word. Also, if you're struggling with something, family, thoughts, health, things like that and you can't find a verse or you have a verse but can't fingure it out, you can ask me to look it up. I'll explain it as much as I can. I want to help Christians in their walk down the narrow way towards Christ and spread the gospel. I'm here to help. I've got troubles, lots of them, of my own, but I'm willing ot help you guys first. Don't be afriad to ask.
Anyway, today's verse is Philippians 3:17. "Brethren, be followers of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example." This verse is said by the apostal Paul. He was a great preacher during the Roman empire, and he is a great example for Christians to follow. That is exactly what this verse is saying. Paul, who used to be called Saul, told the Christians to follow his example. He felt like he was doing what God wanted him to do and wanted others to do the same. he wanted the gospel of Christ's death and resurrection to be spread around the world so the lost people could come to Christ. Another verse in Proverbs says that the sinners ad wicked are great in the world. They outnumber Christians, but we have the light of the gospel so there is nothing to fear. Paul knew that when he took his three missionary journeys and was later captured and beheaded. He trusted God and wanted others to trust Him as well. He wanted Christians to follow his example because God allowed him to be sure that his testimony was the right one. Are you that confident, Christian? Can you lead younger Christians down the narrow path well? Is your testimony so much like Christ that even unsaved will come to see what is so different about you? I know that those are VERY hard to do. I'm still working on it myself. You're not alone. Many Christians all around the world are trying to follow the example of the Christians that went before them. Follow the example of the wise. Don't follow example of the foolish and evil. Our "mark" as Paul says is our attitude difference. We should show the love of Christ through us. That loving, forgiving, attitude should make it clear to people that we are children of God. I know it will be hard, but God will help us through. Just trust Him and follow the examples He has given us to follow. Don't be ashamed of your Savior. You actions should show what you believe.
Hello readers! I am a girl with an overactive imagination and some random hyperactive bursts. I get it from my six year old brother. Writing and reading are two things I do a lot. I may offend some people without meaning to and forgive me if I do. I just want say that I want your imput. This is your blog too. Just ask and if I like it and it is reasonable, I'll put it onto my blog! I may be a little childish at times, but hey, that's how I am. Look around to see what I've made! Enjoy!
