We have got to “Go Hard”

So earlier I was listenin to Lecrae, he’s a Christian Rapper, the song ” Go Hard”. And I was listening and a verse from it goes:

I done been crossed over see the full court press
I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me

Running from my trials thinking everythings groovy
If the Cross don’t move me then I don’t wanna breath no more

If I ain’t seeing Christ partna I don’t wanna see no more
Rep every day without worrying about bruising
I been to china man I seen some real persecution
If U didn’t know him would your life look the same
Can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep his name?
Man what’s the point of living if I’m living for myself
Lord empty out my life before I put you on the shelf

I thought that was soo true.

Doing What’s Right?

So I’m sitting here studyhall, just thinkin. Now when you think about
how we do things that we know are wrong. Why do we do things that we
know we aren’t supposted to do. Everyone does it, and usually the
response would be “We’re human, we can’t help it..” But my question
is, Can we help it? Maybe it’s the assumption that we can’t help it
that is making teens and adults think we really can’t help it. Ponder
about that for a while.

I Need Your Help.

It’s been a little while. I had to take a little break from blogging. But I am going to have some good stuff coming in the upcoming weeks. But what I am really here to tell everyone, is that I am hoping to go on a Church Trip to Guatemala, in June, and I am trying to raise money for it. And if anyone wants to help me raise money so that I can go on this trip, contact me. This would help out so much. Thanks.

God Bless
Peace

Why worry? This is what the Bible says.

What’s up? This is Dillon, I am going to write about what the Bible tells us about worrying. Alright.

The bible clearly tells Christians to avoid worrying.

6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6

In this Scripture we learn that we should bring all of our needs and concerns to God in prayer rather than worry about stuff.

25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”
Matthew 6:25-26

Jesus assures us that our Heavenly Father will take care of all our needs. Therefore, we need not worry about anything.

So how do we over come worry?

7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

In this Scripture God is telling us to give Him all of our worries and concerns.

So why does God take on all of our problems?

The Bible says because he care for you.

God is concerned about everything that happens to you. No worry is too big or too small for His attention. When we give God our problems, He promises to give us His peace.

7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”

Philippians 4:7

Peace

God Bless

What is Faith?

This is my illustration of what it means to Balance your Faith. You have to balance your connection with God, and Your good deeds.

Okay, well this is what I have been reading about and researching, and asking questions about. What is faith?

What is Faith?

Now in the Bible, it is said that Faith is being sure of what we hope and certain of what we do not see.

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1

My favorite bible verse is 2 Corinthians 4:18.

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
2 Corinthians 4:18

Faith causes you to know in your heart before you see with your eyes. This is what 2 Corinthians 5:7 says,

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
2 Corinthians 5:7

Faith and Deeds

The Bible says that a man who has Faith by itself, not accompanied by action, is dead. It says the body without the Spirit is dead, this is the same with Faith, Faith without deeds is dead. When the Bible talks about deeds it means your actions.

“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? … In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
James 2:14-17

A little bit later the scripture says,

“As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”
James 2: 25

Hebrews 11:6 says,

“But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6

The Bible basically says, for if we have Faith, we will have Everlasting Life with our Lord Jesus Christ. Life has ups and downs with or without faith.  This is Faith.

The Bible also talks about Hope, it says, without hope there are no “things hoped for”, and therefore there cannot be faith. I am going to do a entry all about Hope later.

Alright,

God Bless

Update

I have a post that I am going to write tomorrow. Right now I am going to read my Bible, something I rarely do. I’m ashamed of myself for the fact that I rarely read my Bible. Geez.

God Bless

Bored, Reading Random Blogs

I was just bored, so i decided to read a few random blogs:

I came upon this one:

The way you see your life shapes your life.

Your silent life metaphor influences your life
more than you appreciate. It determines your expectations, values,
relationships, goals, and priorities. Such as, if you think life is a
party, your primary value in life will be having fun. If you see life
as a race, you will value speed and will probably be in a hurry much of
the time. If you view life as a marathon, you will value endurance. If
you see life as a battle or a game, winning will be very important to
you.
