Church

We all need a group of friends who will help us grow spiritually. (:

*The bible knows nothing of solitary religion ~John Wesley

It's sooooo important to come together as a body of Christ... & it really is a tremendous privilledge to be able to do so.

We all need (haha, want!) friends who like us & accepts us for who we are. And one great place for that is through involvement in youth group in a great church! ^^

Though it's crucially important to mix with non-christians (keke, pre-christians!) as well, there are some things we can only get from meeting with other christians.

  1. Mutual Encouragement. "You should not stay away from the church meetings, as some are doing, but you should meet together & encourage each other" Hebrews 10:25. ~Although we may think that our relationship with God is fine without church & that we do not need encouragement, shouldn't we be there to encourage others?

  2. Accountability. "Fools think they are doing right, but the wise listen to advice" Proverbs 12:15. ~ sharing our lives with others is really enriching & help keep us away from sin.

  3. The teaching/learning of God's word. read Acts 2:42 and Proverbs 27:12. both illustrates the importance of learning together.

  4. Friendship. It is true that we are influenced by those we spend significant time with. If all your significant relationships are with people who don't support the lifestyle God wants for you, you are putting yourself at risk.

sometimes we take the friends we have for granted. only that.. when we realize, it may be too late. SO, appreciate the people around you! =b

It's awesome to have a community/group of friends to belong to. Get plugged into LifeXtreme! =D

Really. It's truly a blessing to have a place where you truly feel belong. Yet sometimes we do feel alone in a place full of ppl we know, even in church.

But yea, if you've ever asked God to send you a friend, Think bout it...

Why not, the next time u feel lonely, ask God to help you BE A FRIEND. (: You never know, you very well might be the answered prayer of someone asking God for a friend.... & you would have just gotten one yourself!

get involved in Youth!!! =b
i can promise you, u'd be blessed. ^^

& yea, always be reminded that Jesus will always be there for you no matter what. He'll be your advocate, your guide, your best friend.

It's just simply amazing being around people who have the same passion for God like you do!!

Have a very blessed sunday this week!! (: & the rest of the days ahead.....
