I am ready for School to start back...mainly because of the newness of being a freshmen at MTSU.  I can't wait to go to MTSU... All of my classes are close together and my schedule is very convient for me.

MTSU is FUN

One of the most amazing preachers I have ever met. He has a great spirit and a great personality. His sermons so intense that it will blow you away. Someday, I hope to be able to preach like him.

Youth Camp was awsome. I feel great. I got to sing and play the keyboard with a band called Firfty Seven Seven last night. Camp was fun. The worship and the messages were really powerful and great. Some people actually thought that I was one of the band members. Ron Rhoads is a great speaker with powerful messages that can take your breath away. Terry Allen is a great DYD. Some guys from my youth group, A.K.A. the Night Timers, are really good pranksters.

They said to have gotton the band with water balloons and Cabin 9 with seram wrap...

Eric, the keyboardist/singer quoted " Me and Noah went to go get some mops to clean the bathroom, and on our way back we noticed the bridge light was out. I heard a rustling noise in the darkness of the night. Next thing I know, a bunch of ninjas called the Night Timers attacked us with water balloons. Only thing I knew to do was run. I accidently hit a kid with my eye...lol"

The Night Timers were caught. Kangaroo Court sentenced them to a horrible sentence... the chair of grossness...leftovers dumped on all four of them.

They tried to deny being the real Night Timers but it was too late, they already stunk to death. The real Night Timers were found but camp was already over.

There is a message to be heard today,

For you only have one life to live.

There may be only one last chance for me to say,

That I want to tell you it is time to give,

Jesus Christ your everything since He is the only way.

It is time for us all to ignite our passion and to keep the flame lit,

And it is time for us to quit letting Satan hinder us in our walk

For we need to be more like God, more than just a little bit,

We need to truly act and live and talk,

The way God would have us to.

Those posts that everyone says that I wrote, How could I write them if I wasn't even near a computer that day? I only have access to the internet at school, I went on a field trip that day, I didn't get back until 6th period, and there are no computers in my 6th period. People in my 4th period and 2nd period classes sit around the computers all the time, do you think they may have figured out my Password.... I bet I forgot to log off of phusebox the day before...I don't know and I don't really care as long as people quit saying that I posted those satanic looking posts.

He took massive beatings for us,

He stood there and let himself be mocked and ridculed on our behalf,

He carried the cross the Gasemane so we would be spared,

He died on the cross so that we might have eternal life in Him,

And He rose again on the third day so that all of His people will know that He truely is the son of GOD.

        Igniting your Passion

            As we look upon the moral decay that runs rampant in our society, …as we see the confusion and compromise that afflicts so many Christians, …As we witness God's progressive judgment on the world and the church, …What do we do? …How do we respond?

            In Romans 10:2-3, Paul says, " I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. They don't understand God's way of making people right with himself. Instead, they are clinging to their own way of getting right with God…"

            God has a unique call and purpose for all of our lives. He wants us to break out of this mediocrity, …in order to step into a life of purpose and vision, …fulfilling the task he has set before us.

The time has come for us to recognize that we are in a spiritual battle with the forces of darkness, who want nothing other than to steal, kill, and destroy us. We need to rise up, …reject the discouraging words of Satan, …and acquire the enthusiasm to go out into the world and make a difference in someone else's life.

God can help ignite our passion, but it's up to us to keep the flame lit.

We can ignite our passion by not being "Normal".

            Normal Christians are those who go through the routine of church. But, in order to ignite our passion we have to become radical in walk.

When we become radical, there will be a difference in the way we worship, the way we speak, the way we act, the way we think, and the way we pray.

Being passionate means being Persistent in our faith, having a positive Attitude, Seeking God through our prayer and the reading of his word, practicing Servant hood, showing Integrity, being Obedient to the word of God, and not being Normal Christians.

When we're Persistent in our faith…God will help us become passionate.

When we have a positive Attitude toward our Christian family and for the lost… we're being an encouragement to them, by showing them how much we care.

When we Seek the face of Almighty God…how many of us know that we become so close to God that we can accomplish anything that we set our minds to?

When we Serve the Lord with enthusiasm …God will give us the heart of a servant. When he gives us a heart of a servant, we will be able to accomplish many great things for the kingdom of Heaven.

When we truly become individuals of Integrity… we can expect to do all of the wonderful things God has called us to do.

           When we're Obedient the word of God…God pours out so many blessings on us. Not only that, but without obedience to the word of God, we couldn't be persistent, have a positive attitude for those around us, seek the face of God, be a servant, or be someone of integrity.

And when we quit being Normal Christians… we can accomplish much more for the kingdom of Heaven than before.

The Apostle Paul begs us in Ephesians 4:1-6,  "Lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowances for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourself united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourself together with peace. We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have been called to the same glorious future. There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all."

When we ignite our passion, we will be able to live a life worthy of our calling.

Another way we can ignite our passion is if we stop being so negative all the time.

If all we do is complain, complain, complain…we are just going to keep going nowhere that much faster…because those with negative attitudes won't go anywhere in their walk with Christ.

Negativity robs us from our blessings. If we keep letting the things of this world hinder us, we won't be able to take the next step in our faith.

We need to ignite our passion so that we can always be a positive example for someone to look up to.

Ladies and Gentlemen: we need to follow the example Paul has shown us and ignite our passion for God.

We need to ignite our passion so that when the time comes, we won't be hesitant and procrastinate on what God has called us to do.

James 4:14 Says, "How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone."

           We only have one life to live and it's time to ignite our passion, for we may only have one chance to let our light shine for some individuals.

A missionary named John Greddie ignited his passion by spending twenty-four years evangelizing in a foreign country. His tome stone reads, "When he landed in 1848 there were no Christian, when he left in 1872 there were no heathen."

Something good happened last night. I can't explain it, but yet I can.

I went to Encounter last night and Pastor Dan talked about making a difference in other people's lives. See, I have been working on a Short Sermon for Fine Arts but I coudn't really get what God was trying to say to me. Well, after being at Encounter last night, I realized something very important....I need to step it up a noch or two and quit being the same old person that I was yesterday. I need to quit being "Normal" and quit being "Negative". God does use normal people, but He helps them to get out of the "Normal" attitude of todays society and into a Spiritual attitude. If I keep being so "Negative" all the time, I am just going to keep going nowhere fast. It's time for me to step it up a noch and ignite my passion for God.
