Bold Faith

Well, when I was on my way to Wyoming for a mission trip. I was driving through Lincoln, Nebraska, and I am just watching God’s beautiful creation. It is raining. As a lot of little kids I didn’t like the rain when I was little. I was scared of lighting and thundering. I would just be so scared I would go sit next to my mom and just cry. I was afraid of a lot of little stuff. But now as I am a teenager, I love the rain. I will just sit outside and watch the rain. It is amazing God’s creation. I love to hear the loud thunder in my room and love to see the big bolts of lightning. I am not sure why. It just amazes me to know that God made all this in six days on the seventh day he rested. I mean God created the heaven and earth, light for day, dark for night, animals, fish of the sea, land, birds in the air and so much more. He did all this in six days. Wow is that not amazing or what. Just step outside for a minute and look at the clouds or at night look at the stars. I love to go outside at night a look at the stars and there patterns and shapes. It is so cool. At a camp in Rushville I love to go outside at sit on the roof and look at the stars and often times you can see a shooting star it is amazing to see them. They look so cool when the shot across the sky like that. Another thing that is neat is sunset’s wows aren’t those amazing, the different colors in the sky and the pinks, reds, and oranges in the big sky when I sun starts to set or even rise in the mornings. I like to go outside in the cool morning and sit on my porch and listen to the birds sing and feel the cool breeze. When I do this at camp I normal take my Bible outside or just sit in silence and listen to God in Prayer. Have you ever though bout what the world would be like without animals or without light? Or even without the rain, sun, or cloud? I don’t really think I would like that world. It does not sound very pretty or beautiful like the world we live into today. I love the world we live in today it is so beautiful and so amazing.
You know we have darkness all over this world. Not like the real light in your room or outside by the sun. It is like people walking through darkness. People without Christ, they live in a dark world. But Christ tells us as Christians to be the light in the dark places of this world, and walk through every place we go like it is our last day. We r suppose to live for Christ and not be so call, “Camouflage Christian,” when you are that it mean that you are hiding yourself and not sharing Christ and not being that light in the dark places. We want to be so called, “Bold Christians,” and live for Christ everyday as if it would be our last. We never know when Christ is going to take us and we have to be ready for that day.
I heard this at camp once. The director said, “What is today?” The kids said, “A big one” The director said, “Why is it a big one?” The kids said, “Because yesterday is gone and we don’t know if we will have a chance for tomorrow.”
Now you think about this are you living everyday like it is your last? Are you sharing Christ with the people you meet, your friends, your family, or maybe even those strangers you see on the road? We need to live for Christ we never know when Christ is going to take us.
Statistics: 146,357 people die each day and this also mean about 2 people die every second.
Now for the teenagers reading this think about all your friends how many of them don’t know Christ. Have you even thought for one second that you should share Christ with them?
86% of teens that that don’t except Christ before their 18th birthday probably never will.
How scary is that? Think about your life. And live for Christ every day. Live you life like every day is your life. Be that “bold Christian.” And also remember everything God has given you like light or animal or just his wonderful creation.
Live for Christ
Be a Bold Christian
