Matthew 18:19
Again i say to you that if two of you agree on earth
concerning anything that they ask,
it will be done for them by my father in heaven.

Lies Young Women Believe

I have recently been reading a book that my mom got me. It's called Lies Young Women Believe by Nancy Leigh Demoss and Dannah Gresh. It lists the top 25 lies that mostly teenage girls believe. Among the 25 I picked out a few to tell you about. #1. is I've Never been exposed to satanic activities - the main point of this section, is that surprisingly every girl i think is exposed to satanic activities on a DAILY basis, and about 75% Take Part in them. #2 is "Of Course I'm a Christian I........" These lies were surprising to say the least. #3. In certain situations its ok to break the law if im not hurting myself or others. This one really caught my attention because im very guilty of a few to say the least of this chapter. It talks about burning cd's ( guilty ) , exceeding the speed limit (guilty of thinking about it ) , downloading free music (guilty) and lots of other things that we usually justify our guilt by saying something like Its ok to break the law if im not hurting myself or others. The chapter really points out the lies we all believe. Next in the book, is a chapter dedicated to showing you how to stop believing those lies. And just to give you a sneak peak at my favorite part: percentages! How many young women aged 13-19 that ARE active in their youth groups have recently participated in satanic activities - 72% had looked at hororscopes , 28% had their palm read, 42% had participated in psychic-related activities, and 82% had watched supernatural and spiritual themes in movies or on tv.

I highly recommend this book for anyone. Especially for girls my age or 12-19ish range i think it is very helpful. And gives you some pratical tips to overcome the lies that young women are facing daily.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith

Second Peter 1:5-11

But also for this very reason,
Giving all diligence,
Add to your faith virtue,
To virtue knowledge,
To knowledge self-control,
To self-control perseverance,
To perseverance GODliness,
To GODliness brotherly kindness,
To brotherly kindness love.

For if these things are yours and abound,
You will be neither barren nor unfruitful
In the knowledge of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
For he who lacks these things is shortsighted,
Even to blindness,
And has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Therefore ,brethren, be even more diligence
To make your call and election sure,
For if you do these things you will never stumble;
For so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly
Into the everlasting kingdom
or our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

Define: Love

Love ... what a complex word. Today love is used in many different ways. So when CHRIST tells us to love what exactly does HE mean? The dictionary has very broad terminology for the word but the Bible does not. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says

Love suffers long and is kind;
Love does not envy;
Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, Believes all thing, hopes all things, endues all things.
Love never fails.

Today I challenge you to Love. Make a list of all the things love is and is not and how you could apply it to your life.


May Christ guide yall today
I love you all and remember LOVE NEVER FAILS
