Hey look, my name is up there.

Haha.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I beg of you to ask yourself this: Are you a hypocrite? Are you living as Christ wants you to live?

You are either:

1. A Pharisee (hypocrite) you are self righteous. You are high and mighty and want everyone to see that. Do you put on a show when you come to church to impress others? Or do you come to church humble and dirt stricken from the sins of the week, ready to be cleansed and forgiven.

2. You are growing on the True vine. The Farmer is cutting off the thorns around you. Though it hurts, in doing so you continue to grow in Christ. Your faith is not an act of merely words, but your works, your actions speak louder then your little, "Oh I'm a Christian." DOES YOUR LIFE REFLECT CHRIST? DOES EVERY DESCISION YOU MAKE POINT TO CHRIST? EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR CHRISTIANITY POINT TO ------------>JESUS<----------------------!? ARE YOU LIVING AS IF HE MIGHT COME BACK ANY DAY NOW? ARE YOU LIVING AS IF HE IS WATCHING OVER YOUR SHOULDER THE WHOLE TIME? DO YOU CARE FOR THE POOR, THE NEEDY, THE WIDOWED? DO YOU CARE FOR THE NON-BELIEVING? HOW MUCH CHRISTIAN YOU MUST HATE THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE, FOR YOU DO NOT GIVE A PIECE OF YOUR PRECIOUS FASTING TIME TO WITNESS TO THE NON-BELIEVING. SELFISH, HYPOCRITE I AM!

WHEN THE WORLD LOOKS AT ME THEY SHOULD SAY, "THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HER! SHE HAS SOMETHING I OBVIOUSLY DON'T! SHE'S AT PEACE IN HER LIFE..I WANT PEACE. HOW DOES SHE SMILE EVEN THROUGH SUFFERING?" THE WAY YOU LIVE, SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO THE WORLD. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS AS IF YOU'RE HOLDING UP A FLASHING SIGN, WHILE JUMPING ON A TRAMPOINE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS, "JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO! LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG, THEY ARE WEAK BUT HE IS STRONG. YES, JESUS LOVES ME. HEY! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I BELIEVE IN JESUS! I BELIEVE IN JESUS!"

IS IT THAT OBVIOUS MY CHRISTIAN FRIEND?

The hypocrites who look down upon the non-believing, who refuse to reach out to them, who refuse to help them, who refuse to tell of Christ to them, let them be damned. They are not truly saved, if their life is not a testimony in and of itself OF GOD. If all their faith is, cold, meaningless words, but they continue sinning, then THEY NO NOT GOD. They need to go back, and RE-READ THE NEW TESTAMENT until they get it through their heads that OH, I HAVE TO REPENT? OH, I HAVE TO GET OFF MY THRONE OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS? YES! You Pharisee!!!!!!!!!!

There are non-believing eyes watching you! Be a good witness to them!

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" Romans 6:1-2

Remember, when you claim that you are a Christian others are watching you. If you live a disobedient life, claiming to be Christ's, the eyes that watch you go, "See! SEE! THAT'S WHY I'M NOT A CHRISTIAN! THEY SAY THEY'RE THIS, WHEN THEY ACT ANOTHER WAY!" Brothers and Sisters! There are souls at stake here!! Live your life FOR CHRIST, or don't live it for Him at all.

Love in Christ,

Lissie

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before Thee, Who was, and is, and evermore shall be. Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see; Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

VELCOME TO MY HUMBLE ABODE...mWAHAHAHAHA

My parents come back today!! They get to try the yummy cherry muffins we made for breakfast today. (They were really good!!) And I have a roast that doesn't fit in the crock-pot, cooking right now. We'll have that over rice and..some sort of veggie. Haven't figured that part out yet :)

Bad thing is I forgot to defrost the roast over night..so it's as solid as a rock. I defrosted it some this morning and when I put it in the crock pot I tried to cut some of it off..IT'S A ROCK!! A BOLDER! A BRICK! The lid won't go on because no matter which way I try to put it in the crock-pot it pokes out. So I had to put foil over the top instead of the lid. I hope this works. I might have to come up with an alternative dinner if this doesn't work. Maybe spaghetti since it is quick and easy.

Last night, Jonah, Jules, Jamesyn, and I all slept in Mum and Dad's bed together. (I have to incase Jess wakes up or Jami gets scared she usually comes and snuggles with Mum.) SO, we all slept in bed together! IT was awesome!! We really need to do that more often...

Well, I have more house cleaning to do!!

Yours truly,
