LISTENING TO hillsong united - point of difference
never felt so great in a long time. (: i bet you guys didnt know what you all did, or even who you are, but it felt really good to be talking about God in our conversations once more. it felt good talking about end times, worship, singing random songs and our youth group. even though i didnt finish much work in the end i felt really good. it felt like the old times again, when all we were talking about was God and His goodness and everything that revolves around Jesus and the church, nothing else. had been a long time, that one.
well people might come and go, but God remains the same, yesterday, today and forever. yea JESUS!
quoteworthy:
(paraphrased) "knowing the real Truth will change your life." anything else would only either be a lie, or a half-truth.
"It is very easy to be an atheist when you’re successful, but it’s very difficult to be an atheist when you’re lying on your death bed."
"What they were trying to convey to me, in a nutshell, was that my whole purpose of my existence was to love God and love my neighbor as myself. That is why I had been created, that is what I was in this world to do and to learn. But I failed."
well i was reading this testimony of a 15-year old girl who had a vision of hell but is now going around telling everyone about Jesus. the experience must be so real for her, because she was a backslidden christian, and for a teenager to witness to all of these adults really take not just a large amount of boldness but also a real confidence in what she says because it isnt easy.
"And I want to give a message to all the young people, I want you to think of yourself, examine yourself. Think, why should I care what anyone says about me. I used to think what other people might say about me, but now I understand that they don't even care about me. They are not going to be there when the Lord is right in front of me. I remember when I was in front of the Lord, my friend weren't there to help me, my family wasn't there to help me, my pastor, the church wasn't there to help me. I was there by myself, and I had to defend myself. In front of Him you can't lie, because He is so holy. And when I was there I didn't feel like I belong there, because I was in sin and in Heaven it is holy.
If you want to serve the Lord, then do it with all your heart, don't just say it with your mouth, say it with your heart and mind. Don't worry about the future, worry about today, you never know when you are going to die. I'm only 15 years old and in my mind I never thought that I was going to die at 15, never.
But you need to think about that. My life isn't mine, your life isn't yours, we are borrowing our lives, our lives belong to God. We take advantage of this by not caring, by going into the world, by doing the things of the world. The world has many things to offer, but remember God has even more things to offer. The world has hell and death, but God has eternal life. Eternal life is forever. "
