Have you ever thought that the music we listen to, the tv shows we watch, or the movies could be effecting us spiritiually? Yea! It's true. Media is like a all you can eat buffet, a little of this and a little of that until we get our fill. Media can make us think worldly about certain subjects when in reality, biblically it is wrong. Just because the world may say it's okay through the media, that can land yuh in the burning flames. The world has it's own purpose, for satan roams this earth taking in anyone he can devour. So what am I saying? Watch what you watch on tv, what you listen to, and even who you listen to! When in doubt pray and ask for the guidence of God

Decision making vs. enough taking
Decision: Don't go to school because of this issue? No way!
Enough: Sick of the circumstances I was placed in yes, but stand up under it, amen!
Today while I was I walked into the church I was greeted by a fellow attender of whom I know pretty well, she's sweet, loving, and very blunt with her words. Now, I've known her since I started attending church back when I was 11 (I'm 18 now). This lady is not only a fellow attender of the church, but she is also one of my teachers at school. Since she is one of my teachers at school and because she's also a Christian, I look up to her in many ways. As I tell her hello, I let this lady know why I don't attend school a lot. I tell her my last hour class is a class I could care less for. But, may I remind you that while being in this class, it's hard to proclaim Christ and very hard to stand up for what you KNOW is right, rather than be filled with what others think is right. These others that I am talking about are everyone else in the room that are not Christians at all, these students and teacher are living heavily in the world. In this class I hear about sex,cursing, drugs, drinking, partying, who has what STD, and not to mention watching ridiculous videos that the teacher has us watch on a daily basis. These videos consist of South Park, another video that was played talked about a very inappropriate sex move, and also the cursing in a few of the videos. May I remind you that the teacher teaching this class allows this and joins in the conversations. But, this lady really stunned me today.
She said "Meg, you only have 24 days left, it's not worth risking your diploma over, God will get you through this, you're better than them." It was almost as if a light bulb switched on in my head. She was right! This is what the Word has to say about it:
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" 1 Corinthians 10:13
It's tempting not to go to school because of this going on, but at the same time, Jesus is giving me a way out of it so I can stand up under it! Also, my faith will become stronger by going through this storm, how amazing is that!
and also Jesus said
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." Matthew 24:9
Even Jesus said we were going to be hated! Ouch!
This whole experience has brought me a revelation! It's time to get my Sword and start shaken satan! Jesus is amazing amen?
Enough: Sick of the circumstances I was placed in yes, but stand up under it, amen!
