If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-7, The Message)

A hot-tempered person starts fights and gets into all kinds of sin. Proverbs 29:22,NLT
Do you ever get angry, like so angry you feel you can't control yourself, well in some cases that's okay as long as you gain control and you let it out in a health manner. But if you are a person who is angry all the time that can led to all kinds of sin whether it's hurting someone you didn't mean to hurt or break something that should of never been broken, it's all sin. So to all Christians, if you do not get rid of anger in healthy ways then ask the Lord for help because you in danger of hurting someone you never wanted to hurt. Stand tall all Christians and show the world that our God is a God of peace, mercy and love! -Michael R. Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one. -Benjamin Franklin God can do anything, you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working with us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20, TM
Okay so, are you that person that always gets pushed around? Say you have teachers at school the are changing you or forcing you to be someone your not. Maybe you have friends, that might not realize it but, are molding you into the perfect friend for their sake. Or maybe your Mom and Dad try to mold you to like everything they like and make you their toy soldier. But hey what do I know, maybe none of those apply to you. But God, see he has a much different idea. See God will never every try to turn you into someone your not. He loves you just the way you are. Just because God created you does not mean he will recreate you here on this earth. The Lord wants you to be you because that is the way he made you in the first place. So don't blame it on God if you change into someone your not, because he did not do it. God never tries to turn you into someone your not; he tries to turn you into someone you really are. ~Michael R. You are to live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of crooked and perverse people. Let your lives shine brightly before them. Philippians 2:15, NLT
Okay so God says that we, as followers of him, shall live for him. Now living for him means, doing your best at, being godly like him. If you truly live for him you will shine and stand out to others. Doing that most likely they will realize that you have something they don't, and that thing is Christ. So God wants you to shine and be a true follower of him. Doing that, and accepting Christ in your heart, you will be rewarded with the kingdom of heaven. Are you going to shine, to be a godly one, to be a true follower of Christ? The greatest honor you will ever have as a Christ-follower is being a Christ-reflector to others. ~Michael R. The Lord hates cheating, but takes delight in honesty. Proverbs 11:1, NLT
Now let's see here, I'm not really sure I've cheated at school before, but you might have. Cheating is bad thing even if it seems okay, it's not. Plus just because someone else is doing it does not make it right. Maybe a friend will tell you it's okay to copy off their test, just because they give you permission to do that still does not make it okay. Cheating is wrong and if you cheat once it will probably start a chain reaction. One of the worst parts about cheating is that everyone thinks it's perfectly normal, or at least most of them. The worst thing about cheating is that it becomes a pattern for life. It lowers our standards until we're always looking for the easy way-even if it's the wrong way. ~Michael R. |
