Day Eight, Nine and Ten

Scripture Read:

1 Peter 2

1So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. 2Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God.
3You've had a taste of God.
The Stone 4Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. 5Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you'll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God. 6The Scriptures provide precedent:
Look! I'm setting a stone in Zion,
a cornerstone in the place of honor.
Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation
will never have cause to regret it.

7To you who trust him, he's a Stone to be proud of, but to those who refuse to trust him,
The stone the workmen threw out
is now the chief foundation stone.

8For the untrusting it's
. . . a stone to trip over,
a boulder blocking the way.

They trip and fall because they refuse to obey, just as predicted.
9But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you-- 10from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted. 11Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul. 12Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they'll be won over to God's side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives.
13Make the Master proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level; 14they are God's emissaries for keeping order. 15It is God's will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of the fools who think you're a danger to society. 16Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules. 17Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.

The Kind of Life He Lived 18You who are servants, be good servants to your masters--not just to good masters, but also to bad ones. 19What counts is that you put up with it for God's sake when you're treated badly for no good reason. 20There's no particular virtue in accepting punishment that you well deserve. But if you're treated badly for good behavior and continue in spite of it to be a good servant, that is what counts with God.
21This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.

22He never did one thing wrong,
Not once said anything amiss.

23They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. 24He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing. 25You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going. Now you're named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.
CULTIVATE INNER BEAUTY

1 Peter 3 1The same goes for you wives: Be good wives to your husbands, responsive to their needs. There are husbands who, indifferent as they are to any words about God, will be captivated 2by your life of holy beauty. 3What matters is not your outer appearance--the styling of your hair, the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes-- 4but your inner disposition.
Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in. 5The holy women of old were beautiful before God that way, and were good, loyal wives to their husbands. 6Sarah, for instance, taking care of Abraham, would address him as "my dear husband." You'll be true daughters of Sarah if you do the same, unanxious and unintimidated.
7The same goes for you husbands: Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God's grace, you're equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don't run aground.

Suffering for Doing Good 8Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. 9That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless--that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing.

10Whoever wants to embrace life
and see the day fill up with good,
Here's what you do:
Say nothing evil or hurtful;
11Snub evil and cultivate good;
run after peace for all you're worth.
12God looks on all this with approval,
listening and responding well to what he's asked;
But he turns his back
on those who do evil things.

13If with heart and soul you're doing good, do you think you can be stopped? 14Even if you suffer for it, you're still better off. Don't give the opposition a second thought. 15Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you're living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. 16Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They'll end up realizing that they're the ones who need a bath. 17It's better to suffer for doing good, if that's what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. 18That's what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others' sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all--was put to death and then made alive--to bring us to God.
19He went and proclaimed God's salvation to earlier generations who ended up in the prison of judgment 20because they wouldn't listen. You know, even though God waited patiently all the days that Noah built his ship, only a few were saved then, eight to be exact--saved from the water by the water. 21The waters of baptism do that for you, not by washing away dirt from your skin but by presenting you through Jesus' resurrection before God with a clear conscience. 22Jesus has the last word on everything and everyone, from angels to armies. He's standing right alongside God, and what he says goes.

1 Peter 4
Learn to Think Like Him 1Since Jesus went through everything you're going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. 2Then you'll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.
3You've already put in your time in that God-ignorant way of life, partying night after night, a drunken and profligate life. Now it's time to be done with it for good. 4Of course, your old friends don't understand why you don't join in with the old gang anymore. But you don't have to give an account to them. 5They're the ones who will be called on the carpet--and before God himself.
6Listen to the Message. It was preached to those believers who are now dead, and yet even though they died (just as all people must), they will still get in on the life that God has given in Jesus.
7Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. 8Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. 9Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless--cheerfully. 10Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: 11if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything--encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!

Glory Just Around the Corner 12Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. 13Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
14If you're abused because of Christ, count yourself fortunate. It's the Spirit of God and his glory in you that brought you to the notice of others. 15If they're on you because you broke the law or disturbed the peace, that's a different matter. 16But if it's because you're a Christian, don't give it a second thought. Be proud of the distinguished status reflected in that name!
17It's judgment time for Christians. We're first in line. If it starts with us, think what it's going to be like for those who refuse God's Message!

18If good people barely make it,
What's in store for the bad?

19So if you find life difficult because you're doing what God said, take it in stride. Trust him. He knows what he's doing, and he'll keep on doing it.

What it means to me:

Man I love these passages, its kinda good that I put off this for three days so I could get the whole picture of these three chapters.

You have God, good for you, now clean out any unholy thing in his temple ( we are temples for God), and use it to glorify God. We won't stumble if we obey God's will, and that is the whole analogy behing the stone. Were chosen to preach the word of God, I mean who else is going to do it, certainatly not the buddhists. God will use us in many ways, don't get cozy to this world and God's use for you in it. You will die, it's a scientific fact is it not? Don't give into earthy desires for they just interfere with the high goal God has for you, preparing you for his kingdom. Instead we are suppose to live along side everyone in this world. We have to get along with them, even if they don't get along with us. Our lives can evanglise to them, so it is always important we are always doing everything for God, so he shines through us. Respect not just your heavenly master, but respect earthly authorities. God has put them there to keep order for the time being, if you obey you can cure the ignorance of the world who think your a danger to society. Excersise your freedom by serving God, not breaking the rules. I love that part. Love everyone, respect the governement. Perservere with love even to those who beat you, or treat you bad for no reason. Look at Jesus, he was killed with no just caused and he never raised a hand to his enemies, he never sinned through all the pain he endured, and for what, to reconnect us with our heavenly father, I think we should be doing all we can for this guy, and acting like him is a good way to start.

Get rid of your old habits that would make you attached to this world and live for God alone.

Day Seven

Passage Read:
1 Peter 1

1I, Peter, am an apostle on assignment by Jesus, the Messiah, writing to exiles scattered to the four winds. Not one is missing, not one forgotten. 2God the Father has his eye on each of you, and has determined by the work of the Spirit to keep you obedient through the sacrifice of Jesus. May everything good from God be yours!

A New Life 3What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, 4including a future in heaven--and the future starts now! 5God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all--life healed and whole.
6I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. 7Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.
8You never saw him, yet you love him. You still don't see him, yet you trust him--with laughter and singing. 9Because you kept on believing, you'll get what you're looking forward to: total salvation.
10The prophets who told us this was coming asked a lot of questions about this gift of life God was preparing. 11The Messiah's Spirit let them in on some of it--that the Messiah would experience suffering, followed by glory. They clamored to know who and when. 12All they were told was that they were serving you, you who by orders from heaven have now heard for yourselves--through the Holy Spirit--the Message of those prophecies fulfilled. Do you realize how fortunate you are? Angels would have given anything to be in on this!

A Future in God 13So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that's coming when Jesus arrives. 14Don't lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn't know any better then; you do now. 15As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God's life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. 16God said, "I am holy; you be holy."
17You call out to God for help and he helps--he's a good Father that way. But don't forget, he's also a responsible Father, and won't let you get by with sloppy living.
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. 18It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. 19He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. 20And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately--at the end of the ages--become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. 21It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
22Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. 23Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! 24That's why the prophet said,
The old life is a grass life,
its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers;
Grass dries up, flowers droop,
25God's Word goes on and on forever.

This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

What this means to me:

God's always watching us, which is a good thing isn't it, it means we can call out for help when in a difficult situtation and he'll be right there for us, sorta like when your having a nightmare and you wake up screaming your parents rush into your room to see what's wrong, even though they already know that you had a nightmare. So Paul acknowledges that God is so great for giving us this new life in Christ. He's 100% right you know, God could have given up on mankind as soon as we sinned, but he found a way to bring us back into his court. Through his son Christ Jesus. I can't wait until the day when I'm taking into heaven, we always think to the future about that day don't we? Well Paul address a really interesting point, the future is now. The day when you'll have your full reward is coming, but God is watching us in the here and now, and preparing us for heaven. We need to persevere for the trials to come. Most outside the body of Christ think, we have it all, that are lives are all rosey. While it's true that Christians in the western world arn't persecuted as much as those maytr's in some of the countries in the east and the middle eastern part of the world, we still face many problems. So we are told to perservere through them right? Ok good. You are blessed for believing with your faith. Do you ever question if you truely think God is real. Well I once prayed to God to ask him if I truely believed he was real and you know what he said? "If you had doubts I wasn't real, then would you be talking to me right now?" Ya, my God has a sense of humor but I've never forgot that lesson. You have faith in God when you pray, worship, and teach about him. Heck you have to have some faith to even stand learning about him and taking it to heart right? Paul commends those who believe what they have not witnessed, he was a witness and he had a hard time believing sometimes, and look you have never seen Jesus in flesh yet, you believe. Now that's faith. Paul warns us to be ready to recieve the gifts, don't make your heart like stone to Jesus. Instead surrender your life to God every moment of the day so his plan, his purpose for your life at that very moment can be fulfilled. Don't be lazy and conform to society and pretend everything is hunky dory, thats the easy way out. Live for God instead, you'll be doing it in heaven, you might as well practice now. Obey God's plan for your life instead of living for your own desires. 1 Peter 4:2 says, "As a result he no longer lives for evil human desires but for the will of God". Don't worry I memorized it, it doesn't count as my memory verse if I've already memorized it right? If you need help ask for and God will help, but remember God won't let you get away with sloppy work, if he provides you a way out of your problem he expects you to follow it 100% of the way, not call it quits at 85%. Remember how much God sacrificed to get you out of sin, don't you think all your time and effort is small favor to do for I guy who bled and died for your pain and suffering. He died, so you could Live. He knew in advance that you would screw up, so he planned for Jesus to fix your problem. Your life is changed, you can't ever go back to being obvious anymore, if you try your just ignoring the greatest sacrifice ever made. It's like someone buying you a new car because you desperatly needed one, and you selling it. No worse you trashed it and didn't even care. You want to embrace your new life? Good start by being in the word, and I mean everyday, heck if you can pull that off for a year, try once every 12 hours, then try once every single moment you can. Every other moment you can spend with the Master talking about what you've read or how his creation is doing with a great gift you were given at birth. Life, and how your going to work towards the greater gift to come, eternal life.

So I'm going to read all of 1 Peter in the coming days, I encourage you to read along with me. 5 minutes a day is all it takes to read a chapter in this book, and its a small favor you honestly owe to God for taking away your eternal death.

"Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!"

Day Five and Six

Passage Read:
Psalm 119
91Your Word and truth are dependable as ever;
that's what you ordered--you set the earth going.
92If your revelation hadn't delighted me so,
I would have given up when the hard times came.
93But I'll never forget the advice you gave me;
you saved my life with those wise words.
94Save me! I'm all yours.
I look high and low for your words of wisdom.
95The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me,
but I'm only concerned with your plans for me.
96I see the limits to everything human,
but the horizons can't contain your commands! 97Oh, how I love all you've revealed;
I reverently ponder it all the day long.
98Your commands give me an edge on my enemies;
they never become obsolete.
99I've even become smarter than my teachers
since I've pondered and absorbed your counsel.
100I've become wiser than the wise old sages
simply by doing what you tell me.
101I watch my step, avoiding the ditches and ruts of evil
so I can spend all my time keeping your Word.
102I never make detours from the route you laid out;
you gave me such good directions.
103Your words are so choice, so tasty;
I prefer them to the best home cooking.
104With your instruction, I understand life;
that's why I hate false propaganda. 105By your words I can see where I'm going;
they throw a beam of light on my dark path.
106I've committed myself and I'll never turn back
from living by your righteous order.
107Everything's falling apart on me, GOD;
put me together again with your Word.
108Festoon me with your finest sayings, GOD;
teach me your holy rules.
109My life is as close as my own hands,
but I don't forget what you have revealed.
110The wicked do their best to throw me off track,
but I don't swerve an inch from your course.
111I inherited your book on living; it's mine forever--
what a gift! And how happy it makes me!
112I concentrate on doing exactly what you say--
I always have and always will. 113I hate the two-faced,
but I love your clear-cut revelation.
114You're my place of quiet retreat;
I wait for your Word to renew me.
115Get out of my life, evildoers,
so I can keep my God's commands.
116Take my side as you promised; I'll live then for sure.
Don't disappoint all my grand hopes.
117Stick with me and I'll be all right;
I'll give total allegiance to your definitions of life.
118Expose all who drift away from your sayings;
their casual idolatry is lethal.
119You reject earth's wicked as so much rubbish;
therefore I lovingly embrace everything you say.
120I shiver in awe before you;
your decisions leave me speechless with reverence. 121I stood up for justice and the right;
don't leave me to the mercy of my oppressors.
122Take the side of your servant, good God;
don't let the godless take advantage of me.
123I can't keep my eyes open any longer, waiting for you
to keep your promise to set everything right.
124Let your love dictate how you deal with me;
teach me from your textbook on life.
125I'm your servant--help me understand what that means,
the inner meaning of your instructions.
126It's time to act, GOD;
they've made a shambles of your revelation!
127Yea-Saying God, I love what you command,
I love it better than gold and gemstones;
128Yea-Saying God, I honor everything you tell me,
I despise every deceitful detour. 129Every word you give me is a miracle word--
how could I help but obey?
130Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning.
131Mouth open and panting,
I wanted your commands more than anything.
132Turn my way, look kindly on me,
as you always do to those who personally love you.
133Steady my steps with your Word of promise
so nothing malign gets the better of me.
134Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women
so I can live life your way.
135Smile on me, your servant;
teach me the right way to live.
136I cry rivers of tears
because nobody's living by your book! 137You are right and you do right, GOD;
your decisions are right on target.
138You rightly instruct us in how to live
ever faithful to you.
139My rivals nearly did me in,
they persistently ignored your commandments.
140Your promise has been tested through and through,
and I, your servant, love it dearly.
141I'm too young to be important,
but I don't forget what you tell me.
142Your righteousness is eternally right,
your revelation is the only truth.
143Even though troubles came down on me hard,
your commands always gave me delight.
144The way you tell me to live is always right;
help me understand it so I can live to the fullest. 145I call out at the top of my lungs,
"GOD! Answer! I'll do whatever you say."
146I called to you, "Save me
so I can carry out all your instructions."
147I was up before sunrise,
crying for help, hoping for a word from you.
148I stayed awake all night,
prayerfully pondering your promise.
149In your love, listen to me;
in your justice, GOD, keep me alive.
150As those out to get me come closer and closer,
they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal;
151But you're the closest of all to me, GOD,
and all your judgments true.
152I've known all along from the evidence of your words
that you meant them to last forever. 153Take a good look at my trouble, and help me--
I haven't forgotten your revelation.
154Take my side and get me out of this;
give me back my life, just as you promised.
155"Salvation" is only gibberish to the wicked
because they've never looked it up in your dictionary.
156Your mercies, GOD, run into the billions;
following your guidelines, revive me.
157My antagonists are too many to count,
but I don't swerve from the directions you gave.
158I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing;
they walked away from your promises so casually!
159Take note of how I love what you tell me;
out of your life of love, prolong my life.
160Your words all add up to the sum total: Truth.
Your righteous decisions are eternal. 161I've been slandered unmercifully by the politicians,
but my awe at your words keeps me stable.
162I'm ecstatic over what you say,
like one who strikes it rich.
163I hate lies--can't stand them!-
but I love what you have revealed.
164Seven times each day I stop and shout praises
for the way you keep everything running right.
165For those who love what you reveal, everything fits--
no stumbling around in the dark for them.
166I wait expectantly for your salvation;
GOD, I do what you tell me.
167My soul guards and keeps all your instructions--
oh, how much I love them!
168I follow your directions, abide by your counsel;
my life's an open book before you. 169Let my cry come right into your presence, GOD;
provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word.
170Give my request your personal attention,
rescue me on the terms of your promise.
171Let praise cascade off my lips;
after all, you've taught me the truth about life!
172And let your promises ring from my tongue;
every order you've given is right.
173Put your hand out and steady me
since I've chosen to live by your counsel.
174I'm homesick, GOD, for your salvation;
I love it when you show yourself!
175Invigorate my soul so I can praise you well,
use your decrees to put iron in my soul.
176And should I wander off like a lost sheep--seek me!
I'll recognize the sound of your voice.

What it means to me:

To me, this is how my life would be if I were more into the word. It encourages me to pick up the bible and continue to read daily. The Psalmist is continually persecuted, but he turns to God instead of crumbling under pressure. I know of many situations in where I take the easy way out instead of standing firm for what I know is right. I love the line, your words add up to one thing, truth. It's so easy and basic, and yet why do we continue are day listening to lies, instead of taking the time to stop and listen, if even for a moment to hear the word of truth. Society lies, Satan will make sure to keep that up, but you can rely on the word of God to be true. Don't forget it. Ah, I encourage you all to keep reading and never crumble to the lies of society.

Memory Verse:

"Your commands give me an edge on my enemies;
they never become obsolete."

Psalm 119:98 (Msg)

"Get out of my life, evildoers,
so I can keep my God's commands."

Psalm 119:115 (Msg)

"Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning."

Psalm 119:130 (Msg)

I decided to memorize one extra because these three I really want to have with me, so I can meditate on them. There pretty simple but very important verses to have in my arsenal against the enemy.

Scripture Read:
Psalm 119
1You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by GOD.
2You're blessed when you follow his directions,
doing your best to find him.
3That's right--you don't go off on your own;
you walk straight along the road he set.
4You, GOD, prescribed the right way to live;
now you expect us to live it.
5Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;
6Then I'd never have any regrets
in comparing my life with your counsel.
7I thank you for speaking straight from your heart;
I learn the pattern of your righteous ways.
8I'm going to do what you tell me to do;
don't ever walk off and leave me. 9How can a young person live a clean life?
By carefully reading the map of your Word.
10I'm single-minded in pursuit of you;
don't let me miss the road signs you've posted.
11I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart
so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
12Be blessed, GOD;
train me in your ways of wise living.
13I'll transfer to my lips
all the counsel that comes from your mouth;
14I delight far more in what you tell me about living
than in gathering a pile of riches.
15I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you,
I attentively watch how you've done it.
16I relish everything you've told me of life,
I won't forget a word of it. 17Be generous with me and I'll live a full life;
not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.
18Open my eyes so I can see
what you show me of your miracle-wonders.
19I'm a stranger in these parts;
give me clear directions.
20My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!-
insatiable for your nourishing commands.
21And those who think they know so much,
ignoring everything you tell them--let them have it!
22Don't let them mock and humiliate me;
I've been careful to do just what you said.
23While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me,
I'm absorbed in pondering your wise counsel.
24Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight;
I listen to them as to good neighbors! 25I'm feeling terrible--I couldn't feel worse!
Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember?
26When I told my story, you responded;
train me well in your deep wisdom.
27Help me understand these things inside and out
so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.
28My sad life's dilapidated, a falling-down barn;
build me up again by your Word.
29Barricade the road that goes Nowhere;
grace me with your clear revelation.
30I choose the true road to Somewhere,
I post your road signs at every curve and corner.
31I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me;
GOD, don't let me down!
32I'll run the course you lay out for me
if you'll just show me how. 33GOD, teach me lessons for living
so I can stay the course.
34Give me insight so I can do what you tell me--
my whole life one long, obedient response.
35Guide me down the road of your commandments;
I love traveling this freeway!
36Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
and not for piling up loot.
37Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.
38Affirm your promises to me--
promises made to all who fear you.
39Deflect the harsh words of my critics--
but what you say is always so good.
40See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways! 41Let your love, GOD, shape my life
with salvation, exactly as you promised;
42Then I'll be able to stand up to mockery
because I trusted your Word.
43Don't ever deprive me of truth, not ever--
your commandments are what I depend on.
44Oh, I'll guard with my life what you've revealed to me,
guard it now, guard it ever;
45And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces
as I look for your truth and your wisdom;
46Then I'll tell the world what I find,
speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed.
47I cherish your commandments--oh, how I love them!-
48relishing every fragment of your counsel. 49Remember what you said to me, your servant--
I hang on to these words for dear life!
50These words hold me up in bad times;
yes, your promises rejuvenate me.
51The insolent ridicule me without mercy,
but I don't budge from your revelation.
52I watch for your ancient landmark words,
and know I'm on the right track.
53But when I see the wicked ignore your directions,
I'm beside myself with anger.
54I set your instructions to music
and sing them as I walk this pilgrim way.
55I meditate on your name all night, GOD,
treasuring your revelation, O GOD.
56Still, I walk through a rain of derision
because I live by your Word and counsel. 57Because you have satisfied me, GOD, I promise
to do everything you say.
58I beg you from the bottom of my heart: smile,
be gracious to me just as you promised.
59When I took a long, careful look at your ways,
I got my feet back on the trail you blazed.
60I was up at once, didn't drag my feet,
was quick to follow your orders.
61The wicked hemmed me in--there was no way out--
but not for a minute did I forget your plan for me.
62I get up in the middle of the night to thank you;
your decisions are so right, so true--I can't wait till morning!
63I'm a friend and companion of all who fear you,
of those committed to living by your rules.
64Your love, GOD, fills the earth!
Train me to live by your counsel. 65Be good to your servant, GOD;
be as good as your Word.
66Train me in good common sense;
I'm thoroughly committed to living your way.
67Before I learned to answer you, I wandered all over the place,
but now I'm in step with your Word.
68You are good, and the source of good;
train me in your goodness.
69The godless spread lies about me,
but I focus my attention on what you are saying;
70They're bland as a bucket of lard,
while I dance to the tune of your revelation.
71My troubles turned out all for the best--
they forced me to learn from your textbook.
72Truth from your mouth means more to me
than striking it rich in a gold mine. 73With your very own hands you formed me;
now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you.
74When they see me waiting, expecting your Word,
those who fear you will take heart and be glad.
75I can see now, GOD, that your decisions are right;
your testing has taught me what's true and right.
76Oh, love me--and right now!-hold me tight!
just the way you promised.
77Now comfort me so I can live, really live;
your revelation is the tune I dance to.
78Let the fast-talking tricksters be exposed as frauds;
they tried to sell me a bill of goods,
but I kept my mind fixed on your counsel.
79Let those who fear you turn to me
for evidence of your wise guidance.
80And let me live whole and holy, soul and body,
so I can always walk with my head held high. 81I'm homesick--longing for your salvation;
I'm waiting for your word of hope.
82My eyes grow heavy watching for some sign of your promise;
how long must I wait for your comfort?
83There's smoke in my eyes--they burn and water,
but I keep a steady gaze on the instructions you post.
84How long do I have to put up with all this?
How long till you haul my tormentors into court?
85The arrogant godless try to throw me off track,
ignorant as they are of God and his ways.
86Everything you command is a sure thing,
but they harass me with lies. Help!
87They've pushed and pushed--they never let up--
but I haven't relaxed my grip on your counsel.
88In your great love revive me
so I can alertly obey your every word. 89What you say goes, GOD,
and stays, as permanent as the heavens.
90Your truth never goes out of fashion;
it's as up--to-date as the earth when the sun comes up.

What it means to me:
This passage is totally my prayer today. Our walk with God is totally like a road. Enemies can jump us and pull us aside from the road, but as long as we obey God and we are rooted in his word, we will have the strength to get up and keep walking. I'm alot like this psalmist. I grow impatient all the time waiting for God to give me the next instruction. I love obeying God, but I need to be patient as well. I don't fret when I get insulted for my faith, in fact I feel the holy spirit fill me with Joy when that happens, because I stood strong for God and didn't hinder to the mockings of society. This is such an awesome psalm I decided to take two days worth of 45 verse and just let you guys read them. Obedience comes up alot, as well as patience, and being able to have a firm foundation in God.

Picking the memory verses were the hard parts. I could only choose two. But there are lots of parts I want to memorize and put up on my wall in my room before today ends.

God's truth never goes out of fashion, I love that. It's so true. The psalm brings up perserverence through trials alot as well. Ya, thats key, stick to the word and those trials will help you grow. I know some of my trials have alot of the time forced me to open the word. I find comfort by doing that alot as well.

Great psalm.

Memory Verse:
Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;

Psalm 119:5

This is my plea to God. I do pray lord that you will keep me righteous so that I may never fall from the path you have set before me. Lord I pray that everyone who reads this won't fall victim to the two biggests hinders to be obedient to you lord. I pray that we just stick to your plan, and our own desires don't get in the way, nor does the world push away your plan's splendor from our sights.

Give me insight so I can do what you tell me--
my whole life one long, obedient response.

Psalm 119:34

I also pray Lord, that Lord, that when you speak to me, I will remember to not just hear what you say, but understand what it truely means, reveal your word to me, always.

Day Two

Scripture Read:
Revelation 10

1I saw another powerful Angel coming down out of Heaven wrapped in a cloud. There was a rainbow over his head, his face was sun-radiant, his legs pillars of fire. 2He had a small book open in his hand. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on land, 3then called out thunderously, a lion roar. When he called out, the Seven Thunders called back. 4When the Seven Thunders spoke, I started to write it all down, but a voice out of Heaven stopped me, saying, "Seal with silence the Seven Thunders; don't write a word."
5Then the Angel I saw astride sea and land lifted his right hand to Heaven 6and swore by the One Living Forever and Ever, who created Heaven and everything in it, earth and everything in it, sea and everything in it, that time was up-- 7that when the seventh Angel blew his trumpet, which he was about to do, the Mystery of God, all the plans he had revealed to his servants, the prophets, would be completed.
8The voice out of Heaven spoke to me again: "Go, take the book held open in the hand of the Angel astride sea and earth." 9I went up to the Angel and said, "Give me the little book." He said, "Take it, then eat it. It will taste sweet like honey, but turn sour in your stomach." 10I took the little book from the Angel's hand and it was sweet honey in my mouth, but when I swallowed, my stomach curdled. 11Then I was told, "You must go back and prophesy again over many peoples and nations and languages and kings."

Revelation 11
The Two Witnesses 1I was given a stick for a measuring rod and told, "Get up and measure God's Temple and Altar and everyone worshiping in it. 2Exclude the outside court; don't measure it. It's been handed over to non-Jewish outsiders. They'll desecrate the Holy City for forty-two months.
3"Meanwhile, I'll provide my two Witnesses. Dressed in sackcloth, they'll prophesy for one thousand two hundred sixty days. 4These are the two Olive Trees, the two Lampstands, standing at attention before God on earth. 5If anyone tries to hurt them, a blast of fire from their mouths will incinerate them--burn them to a crisp just like that. 6They'll have power to seal the sky so that it doesn't rain for the time of their prophesying, power to turn rivers and springs to blood, power to hit earth with any and every disaster as often as they want.
7"When they've completed their witness, the Beast from the Abyss will emerge and fight them, conquer and kill them, 8leaving their corpses exposed on the street of the Great City spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, the same City where their Master was crucified. 9For three and a half days they'll be there--exposed, prevented from getting a decent burial, stared at by the curious from all over the world. 10Those people will cheer at the spectacle, shouting "Good riddance!' and calling for a celebration, for these two prophets pricked the conscience of all the people on earth, made it impossible for them to enjoy their sins.
11"Then, after three and a half days, the Living Spirit of God will enter them--they're on their feet!-and all those gloating spectators will be scared to death."
12I heard a strong voice out of Heaven calling, "Come up here!" and up they went to Heaven, wrapped in a cloud, their enemies watching it all. 13At that moment there was a gigantic earthquake--a tenth of the city fell to ruin, seven thousand perished in the earthquake, the rest frightened to the core of their being, frightened into giving honor to the God of Heaven.
14The second doom is past, the third doom coming right on its heels.

The Last Trumpet Sounds 15The seventh Angel trumpeted. A crescendo of voices in Heaven sang out,
The kingdom of the world is now
the Kingdom of our God and his Messiah!
He will rule forever and ever!

16The Twenty-four Elders seated before God on their thrones fell to their knees, worshiped, 17and sang,
We thank you, O God, Sovereign-Strong,
WHO IS AND WHO WAS.
You took your great power
and took over--reigned!
18The angry nations now
get a taste of your anger.
The time has come to judge the dead,
to reward your servants, all prophets and saints,
Reward small and great who fear your Name,
and destroy the destroyers of earth.

19The doors of God's Temple in Heaven flew open, and the Ark of his Covenant was clearly seen surrounded by flashes of lightning, loud shouts, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a fierce hailstorm.

Revelation 12
The Woman, Her Son, and the Dragon 1A great Sign appeared in Heaven: a Woman dressed all in sunlight, standing on the moon, and crowned with Twelve Stars. 2She was giving birth to a Child and cried out in the pain of childbirth.
3And then another Sign alongside the first: a huge and fiery Dragon! It had seven heads and ten horns, a crown on each of the seven heads. 4With one flick of its tail it knocked a third of the Stars from the sky and dumped them on earth. The Dragon crouched before the Woman in childbirth, poised to eat up the Child when it came.
5The Woman gave birth to a Son who will shepherd all nations with an iron rod. Her Son was seized and placed safely before God on his Throne. 6The Woman herself escaped to the desert to a place of safety prepared by God, all comforts provided her for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7War broke out in Heaven. Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon. The Dragon and his Angels fought back, 8but were no match for Michael. They were cleared out of Heaven, not a sign of them left. 9The great Dragon--ancient Serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, the one who led the whole earth astray--thrown out, and all his Angels thrown out with him, thrown down to earth. 10Then I heard a strong voice out of Heaven saying,
Salvation and power are established!
Kingdom of our God, authority of his Messiah!
The Accuser of our brothers and sisters thrown out,
who accused them day and night before God.
11They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb
and the bold word of their witness.
They weren't in love with themselves;
they were willing to die for Christ.
12So rejoice, O Heavens, and all who live there,
but doom to earth and sea,
For the Devil's come down on you with both feet;
he's had a great fall;
He's wild and raging with anger;
he hasn't much time and he knows it.

13When the Dragon saw he'd been thrown to earth, he went after the Woman who had given birth to the Man-Child. 14The Woman was given wings of a great eagle to fly to a place in the desert to be kept in safety and comfort for a time and times and half a time, safe and sound from the Serpent. 15The Serpent vomited a river of water to swamp and drown her, 16but earth came to her help, swallowing the water the Dragon spewed from its mouth. 17Helpless with rage, the Dragon raged at the Woman, then went off to make war with the rest of her children, the children who keep God's commands and hold firm to the witness of Jesus.

What this means to me:

Well, more metaphors. Like I don't know from personal experience who the women represents, I think maybe the church, or something like that. But the son she has.. woah, I seriously could use some help from people who have dazzeled with Revelations before.. *hint to Karyn Baker, can't me more clearer than that*.

Anyway here I go. Angel, a splendorous one, having to do with maybe peace, or the calm after the storm. Right like a rainbow is after the rain falls, he wasn't chaos or anything but he did bring a warning. He reveals God's plan to the people or something, but they seem to still ignore it and stuff. I don't know what's going on, because the honey, sour feeling thing is weird. Maybe it represents the word will be taken in with joy, but the thought of it, or the after effect will leave a quizy feeling, like you know something bad is going to happen to someone else and you can't stop it, but something good is happening to you, so your happy, but in the long run your happiness is left with a sad after taste. Understand that? Me neither.

So the holy temple of God in Jerusalem ( is that right?) is being desecrated by people who arn't God's chosen people. So non-jews are basically in control of that land for now. God sends two witness' who speak prophetic words from the holy spirit for 2260 days. Which makes me believe they are a metaphoric representation as well. This is tough stuff. Carrying on, the beast ( satan or the anti-christ, I think the anti-christ) kill them, and there bodies get mocked, only for God to raise them from the dead, and quiet the sceptics, and they get to go to heaven, and then guess what? Big Earthquake= More fear of God. The last trumpet blows, heaven rejoices, more diasters and blinding lights, basically God is trying to get it to these people that he's not lying down anymore, this is it, the day of judgement is at hand, and these people still don't get it.

THEN the most confusing part, about the women, I really don't get this. Who is the child she gives birth to? Please help me with this. Thanks.

Well I got through 6-12, proud of me? No.. well I tried.

Memory Verse:

"Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law."

Psalm 119:18

Once again I stole it from the daily scripture. But it reminds me to look at all the good things God has planned for me and his purpose for me, that are written in his word. I shouldn't cling to the bad, but rejoice for the good, the Lord has given me the gift of eternal life and I am worried about things like death, or being ugly. Pfft, trust in the word and you shall reap the rewards of knowledge and truth is what I have to say

Brent out,

Write a blog about Ashley Mayer week.

Guess what? It is write a blog about Ashley week starting now!

Sweet, great timing that I was at my computer. Anyway Here is my blog about Ashley Mayer.

Ashley Mayer:

My my, there has been no one in my life that has impacted my life more than Ashley Mayer has in the last year. That is of course, anyone but Jesus, he's a life changer you know. I didn't know Ashley Mayer too well until about January this year, go figure. No really, I'm dead honest. I didn't have a very strong friendship with her until then, just ask her. Anyway. This girl literally changed my life around, for the better. I have seen so much growth in this girl, it inspired me to have a stronger relationship with God myself, and it still inspires me. She is so commited to Christ, everytime I see her, I see Christ through her. It's awesome. She is always been there in the last year, to listen to all the inane rantings about my day, and the complaints of life, and yet has a Christ like attitude towards me and helps me through them all. I could seriously trust Ashley Mayer with my life, I'm that safe with her. I had feelings for her, I will admit to that, God she is beautiful and her attitude, definitly the kind of person I would marry, but those feelings, well they were temporary and they kinda got in the way of our relationship. Ever since the 40 days of purpose, I've learned to listen more to what others have to say, and man am I glad, because Ashley Mayer has said some prophetic words that have really encouraged me. Man our friendship sure has grown very strong. I really feel comfortable telling her things I wouldn't even tell anyone else.

I have a closer relationship with Ashley Mayer than I do Karyn Baker. Sorry Karyn but honestly it's true. I would do anything to have Ashley Mayer smile, her hapiness always brightens up my day, no matter how crappy it is.

Honestly this girl is just so passionate about God. Her listening ability eludes me. I don't know, it has to be a gift from God, that she can just give the advice she has given me.

She is always supporting me too. I mean if I'm trying something new, I can go and talk to her, and she will give me encouragement to stay at it. For example the group at the school. Who do you think I told first about it? I told Ashley Mayer. She was really excited about it, and her excitement got me excited, and now LEAP ( Leader's Evangelising to All People) is a spark of God in our school.

Man, I thank God alot for putting Ashley Mayer in my life. I wouldn't be the same without her. This girl is just so interesting, I just love hearing her speak, like about anything. Like for example I love it when she talks about cats, I don't even love cats as much as I do sheep, and yet, I love hearing about her days spent with her kitty, or her talks with God, or the problems she is having, because I just really love this girl.


Well, I guess that is all I can say about Ashley Mayer before I go to bed. If I think of more I'll post it.

Day One

Scripture Read:

Revelation 6
Unsealing the Scroll
1I watched while the Lamb ripped off the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the Animals roar, "Come out!" 2I looked--I saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow and was given a victory garland. He rode off victorious, conquering right and left.
3When the Lamb ripped off the second seal, I heard the second Animal cry, "Come out!" 4Another horse appeared, this one red. Its rider was off to take peace from the earth, setting people at each other's throats, killing one another. He was given a huge sword.

5When he ripped off the third seal, I heard the third Animal cry, "Come out!" I looked. A black horse this time. Its rider carried a set of scales in his hand. 6I heard a message (it seemed to issue from the Four Animals): "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, or three quarts of barley, but all the oil and wine you want."

7When he ripped off the fourth seal, I heard the fourth Animal cry, "Come out!" 8I looked. A colorless horse, sickly pale. Its rider was Death, and Hell was close on its heels. They were given power to destroy a fourth of the earth by war, famine, disease, and wild beasts.

9When he ripped off the fifth seal, I saw the souls of those killed because they had held firm in their witness to the Word of God. They were gathered under the Altar, 10and cried out in loud prayers, "How long, Strong God, Holy and True? How long before you step in and avenge our murders?" 11Then each martyr was given a white robe and told to sit back and wait until the full number of martyrs was filled from among their servant companions and friends in the faith.

12I watched while he ripped off the sixth seal: a bone-jarring earthquake, sun turned black as ink, moon all bloody, 13stars falling out of the sky like figs shaken from a tree in a high wind, 14sky snapped shut like a book, islands and mountains sliding this way and that. 15And then pandemonium, everyone and his dog running for cover--kings, princes, generals, rich and strong, along with every commoner, slave or free. They hid in mountain caves and rocky dens, 16calling out to mountains and rocks, "Refuge! Hide us from the One Seated on the Throne and the wrath of the Lamb! 17The great Day of their wrath has come--who can stand it?"



Revelation 7
The Servants of God
1Immediately I saw Four Angels standing at the four corners of earth, standing steady with a firm grip on the four winds so no wind would blow on earth or sea, not even rustle a tree.
2Then I saw another Angel rising from where the sun rose, carrying the seal of the Living God. He thundered to the Four Angels assigned the task of hurting earth and sea, 3"Don't hurt the earth! Don't hurt the sea! Don't so much as hurt a tree until I've sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!"

4I heard the count of those who were sealed: 144,000! They were sealed out of every Tribe of Israel: 512,000 sealed from Judah, 12,000 from Reuben, 12,000 from Gad, 612,000 from Asher, 12,000 from Naphtali, 12,000 from Manasseh, 712,000 from Simeon, 12,000 from Levi, 12,000 from Issachar, 812,000 from Zebulun, 12,000 from Joseph, 12,000 sealed from Benjamin. 9I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there--all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb 10and heartily singing:

Salvation to our God on his Throne!

Salvation to the Lamb!



11All who were standing around the Throne--Angels, Elders, Animals--fell on their faces before the Throne and worshiped God, 12singing:

Oh, Yes!



The blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving,

The honor and power and strength,

To our God forever and ever and ever!

Oh, Yes!



13Just then one of the Elders addressed me: "Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?" 14Taken aback, I said, "O Sir, I have no idea--but you must know."

Then he told me, "These are those who come from the great tribulation, and they've washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb. 15That's why they're standing before God's Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them: 16no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat. 17The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes."



Revelation 8
1When the Lamb ripped off the seventh seal, Heaven fell quiet--complete silence for about half an hour.


Blowing the Trumpets
2I saw the Seven Angels who are always in readiness before God handed seven trumpets. 3Then another Angel, carrying a gold censer, came and stood at the Altar. He was given a great quantity of incense so that he could offer up the prayers of all the holy people of God on the Golden Altar before the Throne. 4Smoke billowed up from the incense-laced prayers of the holy ones, rose before God from the hand of the Angel.
5Then the Angel filled the censer with fire from the Altar and heaved it to earth. It set off thunders, voices, lightnings, and an earthquake.

6The Seven Angels with the trumpets got ready to blow them. 7At the first trumpet blast, hail and fire mixed with blood were dumped on earth. A third of the earth was scorched, a third of the trees, and every blade of green grass--burned to a crisp.

8The second Angel trumpeted. Something like a huge mountain blazing with fire was flung into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, 9a third of the living sea creatures died, and a third of the ships sank.

10The third Angel trumpeted. A huge Star, blazing like a torch, fell from Heaven, wiping out a third of the rivers and a third of the springs. 11The Star's name was Wormwood. A third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from the poisoned water.

12The fourth Angel trumpeted. A third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were hit, blacked out by a third, both day and night in one-third blackout.

13I looked hard; I heard a lone eagle, flying through Middle-Heaven, crying out ominously, "Doom! Doom! Doom to everyone left on earth! There are three more Angels about to blow their trumpets. Doom is on its way!"

Revelation 9
1The fifth Angel trumpeted. I saw a Star plummet from Heaven to earth. The Star was handed a key to the Well of the Abyss. 2He unlocked the Well of the Abyss--smoke poured out of the Well, billows and billows of smoke, sun and air in blackout from smoke pouring out of the Well.
3Then out of the smoke crawled locusts with the venom of scorpions. 4They were given their orders: "Don't hurt the grass, don't hurt anything green, don't hurt a single tree--only men and women, and then only those who lack the seal of God on their foreheads." 5They were ordered to torture but not kill, torture them for five months, the pain like a scorpion sting. 6When this happens, people are going to prefer death to torture, look for ways to kill themselves. But they won't find a way--death will have gone into hiding.

7The locusts looked like horses ready for war. They had gold crowns, human faces, 8women's hair, the teeth of lions, 9and iron breastplates. The sound of their wings was the sound of horse-drawn chariots charging into battle. 10Their tails were equipped with stings, like scorpion tails. With those tails they were ordered to torture the human race for five months. 11They had a king over them, the Angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, in Greek, Apollyon--"Destroyer."

12The first doom is past. Two dooms yet to come.

13The sixth Angel trumpeted. I heard a voice speaking to the sixth Angel from the horns of the Golden Altar before God: 14"Let the Four Angels loose, the Angels confined at the great River Euphrates."

15The Four Angels were untied and let loose, Four Angels all prepared for the exact year, month, day, and even hour when they were to kill a third of the human race. 16The number of the army of horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard the count 17and saw both horses and riders in my vision: fiery breastplates on the riders, lion heads on the horses breathing out fire and smoke and brimstone. 18With these three weapons--fire and smoke and brimstone--they killed a third of the human race. 19The horses killed with their mouths and tails; their serpentlike tails also had heads that wreaked havoc.

20The remaining men and women who weren't killed by these weapons went on their merry way--didn't change their way of life, didn't quit worshiping demons, didn't quit centering their lives around lumps of gold and silver and brass, hunks of stone and wood that couldn't see or hear or move. 21There wasn't a sign of a change of heart. They plunged right on in their murderous, occult, promiscuous, and thieving ways.

What it means to me:

Ok, now I'm regretting being a fast reader, because that is a huge chunk of scripture for me to discuss. So you won't mind if I sum it up a bit will you? Oh, and I don't have alot of philsophical background so, I don't know what all those metaphors or what nots actually mean, but I'm going to try my darndest. So here I go. Basically, the lamb of God is opening the seven seals and in the first four come out the four riders. One who conquers, one who brings chaos, I don't know what the whole whet quart thing means, so someone will have to help me with that. The fourth one commands hell's army and is death. They had the permission to destroy one fourth of the earth. So God is allowing this all to take place according to his will can be accomplished on earth. It also leads into the next part. When the 5th seal is opened we see all the martyr's who died in the name of Jesus. They are clothed and told to wait until their compainions in faith arive. I'm guessing this is the people God is bringing up to heaven from the ground and the ones in the next part. The 144,000 meantioned after the terrible diasters unleashed during the opening of the sixth seal. As I'm writing this I'm getting hungry and I'll be right back to discuss the rest. That note there is so you know if I forget what I'm talking about you'll have to fill in the blanks.

Ok I watched some House as well, and if you haven't guessed, I wasn't feeling well today and I stayed home. Anyway, so those 144,000 people from the tribes of Isreal to me represent the people who turned to God through the tribulation. If I'm wrong well, correct me and I'll get over it, I'd rather be wrong than think I'm right. Oh I got ahead of myself, that's sorta what the angel said anyway. There is alot of stuff in the trumpet part that confuses me. For example I don't know what the smoke really means, and the locust army thing also confuses me, but I think the scorpions just plain represent pain. The whole, will try to kill themselves but cannot find death is interesting. I would think that death being a horseman unleashed on the earth would mean more people dying at their own hands especially with that rider of choas, you know the one who takes away peace, but can someone clarify that for me. Alright, I think I'm done this part, the rest of 6-12 will be read tomorrow. Sorry for the long read just one more thing below and I'm done for day 1.

Memory Verse:

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, "

1 Peter 3:18

This verse is from the daily scripture on the youth website, and I thought it was neat and is a really good and neat purpose behind Christ's life. It's one of those, "Well if the bible is true than this verse is really life changing" verses.

For clarification, the bible is true, so it is a very life changing verse.

-Brent

Two new posts

Well I have two things to report and instead of having two posts, I'm making an announcement in one post.

Why? Because I can... haha.

Anyway the youth website will be umm, sorta finished by the end of today so I added it to my links. You've probably seen it due to Karyn Baker so meh.

The other news is pretty sweet. I talked to God on Sunday and I'm going to be more focused on my first love, which is God, sooo I've decided to do what Dave said and Read my bible for 5 mins everyday for the next 5 weeks, and to memorize a scipture daily. But get this, I'm also going to help you guys by posting what I'm reading, what that means to me, and the memory verse I learnt to encourage you guys to do this as well.

Haha this is going to be fun. Love ya,

-Brent

Website?

Oh that's right it's the end of October. Where is the Website and forums. Well the forums are late, as I kinda figured they would be, but the website is basically done.

Wanna see it? Ha unless you can find it on google, you'll never find it. I'm having a grand unvailing of the website sometime in the double digit starting with a 1 days of November. Wait k? It'll be here in like a week.

Cheating

When I was young and growing up, my parents didn't have alot of money nor the technical no-how to buy or operate things like video games or television. I actually got the T.V. in my house when I was around 10 years old. Man I would just sit and sit watching all the neat shows on that violent wave projecting machine for hours and hours. But I'm actually glad I didn't get an actual video game or t.v. until I did, because it taught me there was more to life than just those two addictive things.

Anyway, thats another story entirely, my point was, when I was growing up, I learnt other pass times, like riding my bike with my dad, or playing monopoly with my sister or programming with my buddy Decan. Even listening to the radio, man I remember records man, they were so cool, I had the turkish march on one of them, it was awesome. Anyway, my sister was so pro at monopoly. I mean she would win like all the time. I mean Donald Trump would have problems facing her finacial and buisness oriented skills that she had in that game. I now wonder why she is always so bad at budgeting her money now a days if she was so good at in a board game. Anyway, she would always win, and I would really get depressed from playing monopoly, because we all know the feeling of not winning right? It sucks. Well think of how it would feel when we lose at the game "Life", no not the board game, but the reward God has for those who choose him at the end of it. Anyway that is another blog. My point orginally was that I would be so overcome with losing that I would find ways of increasing my chances. Obviously, you've either stopped reading my huge chunk of writing and their is no point to keep typing except for the fact that God brought this occasion up, and their is a loyal person reading what is being viewed on their monitor and has obviously read the title and learnt that I cheated in monopoly. God is funny though, because even when I get $50,000 extra dollars out of thin air my sister would still beat me.

Anyway the point I'm going to make is clear for those that read "The Purpose Driven Life", for those who haven't here is a little story.

Lets say your born again, and your now playing the fun game of "Life for God". Well instead of money, God gives us gifts. Well thats great, gifts are awesome, remember why Christmas and birthdays are the best afterall ( if your me the answer is food, but thats not the point). God gives us these gifts with one requirement, that we use them to serve others. Well, your probably saying, I don't see people to serve. Well you do more often then you think. Maybe you picked up a card from the encounter pile, and you drew "Friend is being bullied" card or the ever famous "Your friends are offering you drugs, and you know it isn't cheese as they say it is" card. Well God doesn't leave things up to chance, he leaves them up to choice ( haha yes you can quote that, it's prophetic). Instead of rolling the dice, he lets you decide whether or not to serve God by serving others. Whether is be standing up for what you believe in, or helping those in need, serving can be done in many ways. Your friend needs a bus ticket, and you only have one? Well you could say sorry, I only got one, or you could give him yours. That is the gift of hospitality and well service. There are many more examples I could give, like, oh your youth pastor is sick and can't go to the youth group meeting in an hour and will have to cancel because he couldn't find a speaker. Well God puts you in these situations for a reason. TO USE YOUR GIFTS. God's not going to put you in a situation where you couldn't do anything to help. Thats what service is, sacrificing something to help someone other than your self. It could be time, money, etc. He puts you in situations to serve people, we just need to read the cards we pick up and instead of taking out a loan, we should use what God has already given us.

Umm..
Well IDK...
Stop cheating others by not using your gifts to serve, whether it be in ministry or through your mission. Heck you can just serve without using your gifts, but it requires sacrifice. What are you so attached to selfishly that is holding you back from serving others?

-Brent

Tried to be as coherent as I could, but it's late. Night y'all.

Ok it's been a week NOW WHERE ARE ALL THE BLOGS ABOUT ME?

Seriously, it's really sad that you guys obviously don't love me enough to write a blog about me. I can be cool right? No, there isn't anything bloggable about me? Fine... *sobs*

Anyway Good news.

God told me awhile back to start this Youth group thing at school that had to do with God, basically he told me it was going to be a safe place where Christians can just be who God created them to be, and be in a place where you can re-enforce topics during the school day to help motivate you to step out of your comfort box of comfort and make an impact for Christ in the School. Well when I told the Counsoller about this, he said that I could do it, but I couldn't make it like an offical club, just like a group discussion group, that is if I grabbed a couple of my friends and talked about God in a room. Well I got a room, and after the strike I decided to hold a Discussion about the group with a bunch of Christian peeps who are really stoked about this and really stoked about God.

If your interested in ever showing up and go to our school (New Westminster Secondary School) it is on Wednesdays at 11:28am - 12:18pm in Room 225, it's in the upstairs Massey Wing. The first meeting was basically a, what do you want this group to be like, and the actual first meeting it on tomorrow.

If you can't come, then just pray that God will have an impact on the school, I mean this is just the spark of the fire that is about to burn through the school. No I'm not an arsonist, but I'm talking about the consuming fire of the holy spirit.

Now then, where are your blogs about me?

-Brent

PS. Umm if I left out anything important, please tell me.

My week.

I've been off school due to the strike and been lacking in actually focusing on God. So I've been doing stuff for him more recently, and well here are some of the great stuff that has happened in the week.

Oh ya, probably the highlight of my week summed up here. WINGNUT!!!!
W00t!

This is what I get for forgetting over and over to borrow the drum tuner from Karyn.

What the site is probably going to look like.

Any questions?

Where are your blog's about me? We decided last week that you would write blogs about me.... I feel betrayed.

-Brent

I had a dream...

Seriously I barely remember my dreams, like ever, most of the time I feel like I don't have dreams, but we all do, it's just some times you don't remember them. Since my memory sucks, you could say, I never dream.

So last night I had this weird, weird dream. I woke up right at the end of it, so maybe that is why I remembered it. But I wrote it down on a piece of paper in case it has any signifigance. I asked God what it meant, but now I forget what he said.

Anyway here is what happened in my dream.

Ok so, I was hanging out at the church for some odd reason, and it was late at night, really, really late. Like 11pm late. Well anyway for some reason me and Karyn were still at the church and she decided to give me a ride home because it was so late ( Which made it seem so realistic because in reality Karyn Baker is not a jerk, so she would do something like that).

Anyway, here is where the weird part comes in. We were standing in the parking lot, and then there was a large rumble from the ground, we thought it was an earthquake, but as we went towards Karyn's car, lava spewed up from the ground, behind her car, not under it, and was making a large hole growing deeper and deeper full of lava, either that or the lava was rising. Anyway, I said lets go, and Karyn was all like " What about my car?", and I said, "Leave it", and Karyn made a big fuss out of letting her car get ruined, but anyway for some reason we decided running along 6th. Eventually we saw Cory, in the middle of the sidewalk and he started running as well, as he saw what followed us. On the way we were warning people, I told people not to freak out, and near the theatre on 6th I said God bless at the end of warning someone, and there was a blind person in the crowd. He asked if I could ask God to heal him. For some odd reason I said reach out and touch me, and he said, ok as long as you keep talking. When he finally touched me I quoted Jesus saying, your faith has healed you. And he was healed by God.

Then I woke up. What a crazy dream. Almost as crazy as the time I was in a heard of sheep and the alpha sheep let me ride him after finding his long lost sister... well thats a whole other blog.

-Brent

PS. 1 DAY!

Website update.

So I told MarcJon we are getting this server ready at the end of October, and he hasn't really done a lot for the forum he tells me. So I'm waiting on him, and IDEAS FROM YOU GUYS!

Sheesh... If no one other than Jen gives me ideas, she is going to win the prize.

Baker... Help... Please.

Well, I either will stick with that red template I was working on if any one of you guys tells me what to name the thing, and gives me some ideas. YES YOU CAN POST THEM ON HERE.

I also have a CSS design in the works, if we don't get a fancy name that has zip to it.

Besides CSS just makes me look so pro, when making a website.

Bah, I thought you guys were excited about this, but from your lack of input, I'm left in the dark about your enthusiam. Seriously the spell check wasn't helping me when my brain went blank on how to spell that.

-Brent ( not happy mind you... *shakes fist*)

My Crazy week of stuff.

So lets see how can I depicted what happened this week?
I know, I'll draw up my week in paint.

Oh this might take a while though.

HTML lesson about Blogger.com

Yes you have to download the tutorial, but its in notepad so it isn't big, and no I could not post it due to the large amount of HTML tags in it so the server reads them instead of just posting the code like a good boy should.

Download it here

Purpose

Listen to this

Listen closely to the lyrics, and you'll see why its an awesome.

PS. I updated my profile.

Update*4:04 PM 10/5/2005

Alternative Link

So many complaints the link wasn't working, its not the server its your OS that can't handle a redirect tag. So here, this should work.

WOW~!

MAN wow, just wow, XLR:8 just changed my life so much. Man I can't believe how unfaithful and blind I have been, I finally talked to god just a few minutes ago, and man I mean literally, faithfully, honestly did it, I don't mean I prayed to god for someone else, I mean I just layed everything out to god and I feel so JOYFUL!

MAN I'm just so happy typing is taking away the fun but I have to type faster in order to get back to just jumping up and down for god.

I mean GoD showed me today so clearly what I have to put in progress at my school.

God wants me to start a lunch youth gathering to bring god praise, and to just be yourself, I find it SO HARD to worship and just like honestly be FOR GOD at school. I'm going to go talk with my counsoller about this, and Karyn we need to talk badly about this. I want this to be awesome, I want this thing to get Christians at are school, to stop hiding it, like you may say your a christian but I've just noticed that it is like almost never followed through via actions of honestly praise to God. I don't see the body of christ getting together at school and worshipping and talking about god, and talking even making an impact on the school. But this is going to change, God is giving me a plan, and I am going to do it no matter what. Tomorrow I'm also going around to every Christian I know at my school and telling them about this, and I just want to get this started.

Like God just gave me this vision of a bunch of us just worshipping God through music, and people outside of the room, are like "Hey that sounds cool, hey Mike wanna go check out that Christian Club thing?", "Eh, I guess so, if it has music as cool as that it can't be as boring as I thought I'd be"

I just want to get this done for God. I thought I'd just get your thoughts about this, and get my joy out and tell you all without calling Karyn and like panting while trying to tell her all this and how HAPPY i am!

MAN

BRING GOD GLORY GUYS

-BRent

YES LORD I AM YOUR SERVANT, NOW AND ALWAYS

Creator, master, friend, mentor, savior.

So on saturday we were finishing the day with Mark and Mike using their abilties to bring praise to God. God talked to me, I saw God right next to me in fact, it was cool, then God pointed towards the window, and I was outside the building I was in and standing in the field, I couldn't move, and I was missing my shoes, but I wasn't cold. I just relized I was probably standing in duck poop, but it didn't matter, because next to me was God, and he told me to look up, after some asking why, and God just being persistantly patient until I stopped being nieve and just went with God, I looked up, I didn't see much but a cloudy black night sky, then God moved his arm and the clouds rolled away to reveal millions of stars, then God said to me, "Brent, what do you see?" I wasn't quite sure of what I was looking at, and then I said, "I don't know a bunch of stars", then God simply laughed and pointed out the time and effort it went into making those stars, and then he told me how insignifigant the time and planning it was that God took into making a star, compared to his plan for me, just his plan for me, nothing else, not how long it took him to plan out what I would look like, not what I would eat, but what his purpose was for me. Then he told me a few things, he told me about the whole creator thing I meationed earlier, and then he showed me front to back my whole life, and everything I had done, whether it be good or bad, some things made him proud, others cry, and others shake his head, then he opened his hand, and put the bad and good things in each hand, then he said,

"Brent these are the good things you have done for me, here take them." He gave them to me, and I took them. Then he said. "Here are the bad things" Then he crumbled them into a paper ball, and tossed it behind him, and they vanished, "Brent, what bad things?". He told me he was proud of what I have done for him, and I really needed to hear it. I have gone my whole life loving and fearing God, but not once did I feel that I ever did anything to please him, in fact I felt like a failure.

The third thing he showed me was a book, he opened it up and read it to me, front to back, it was a long book, it felt like a whole life time passed while listening to it. It was about a boy and his purpose for God, and what would happen in his life, and how he would live for God, and what he would do, at the beginning he was learning, but when he sat down and lived for God, the earth shook to the praise and pleasure he brought God. At the end of the book, I saw the gates of heaven open and God standing on the other side, and he said to "That story is what is to come for you, it is the story I have written for you, it is your story." Then I opened my eyes and was back inside, humbled and amazed at to what I had seen. Overwhelmed almost.

Some of the things I learnt were that mentors are so valuble to our growth as soliders of Christ, just like Jesus was to his disciples, mentors can bring us closer to God.

We ought to leave a legacy of people of christ on this earth when we leave for the performance. Don't be afraid to start things for God, be a fire sparker, not a fire fighter, and don't let anyone look down at you because you are young.

People look up to you, 99 people will read you, only one will read the bible, so we have to set an example, for most people, the only time they will see Christ is through us, so we better be doing something for God, instead of watching playing video games or watching the television.

I'm going to start being a mentor and telling everyone about Jesus and asking them how their relationship with him is,

We can mentor without opening our mouths, and that is through are actions, so are you being a good mentor?

I ask anyone who reads this if they can suggest a mentor for me, and I also ask that if anyone wants to walk beside me in my walk to change the world, because it will be almost impossible for me to be held accountable without someone helping me.

Even the word of the lord says to not do this alone,

Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.

So ya, I don't know how to finish up here, other than, put down the remote controller ( I say controller because, your not really in control if you spend more time with the T.V. then you do with God) and ask him what he wants you to do, and what you can start doing. He showed me, I'm sure he'll show you, and trust me he will, my gift of prophecy is making me certain.

-Brent

God wants you to XLR:8 your life.

So XLR:8 was awesome, I went to Excellerate over the weekend and it was my sorta, weekend of relaxation.

Yes, I've been very busy lately with school and school work, and I was too occupied with doing well and leading bible study and going to refuge and preparing for sunday services and practicing the plays to focus on God. This weekend not only gave me time to relax but it gave me time I needed with God.

God talked to me so much over this weekend. I loved the camp it was really beautiful like God was saying to me "Brent, I will make nature sparkle just to show how much I love you". I learnt so much over the few days that I want to pursue God with so much passion that I feel like writing this blog is time away from that.

On friday, we had our 40 days of purpose sermon, literally, I mean learning more and more about gifts was really reinforced on friday, and tells me that God wanted me to truely find out my gifts and to start using them to my full ability. I got to meet so many new friends that passionatly loved God as much as I do, and it inspired me to learn more and more and get as much out of this weekend as I could.

God told me on friday about the time in my life that I had wasted on watching pointless television shows and playing very fruitless video games, so much so with the fact so clear as day, I could almost touch it.

Life on earth is just the warm up before the performance, like it touches on in the Purpose Driven Life, life on earth is only temporary, but life in heaven is eternal, in fact life on earth is just a centimeter on the meter stick of exsistance, smaller in fact. So if we take nothing with us to heaven but what we have done for Christ on earth, than what is the point on doing anything but doing stuff for Christ Jesus.

God wants us to use the gifts we are given here on earth to bring HIM pleasure, and to plant seeds in the world. Did you know the bible talks about an olive tree as the Jewish nation, and if it wasn't for their disbelief in the messiah, the branches of the tree would have never wilted and fallen from the tree, but the tree's loss is our gain, because of this God was able to graft the branches in us, so that we could produce olives for god, and even become olive trees for Christ.

If we use what we are given on earth, even no matter how small, or insignifigant it seems, we will be trusted with more in heaven, and this correlates to our gifts and abilities God has given us. More so our gifts in that manner, we can use our abilities, but unless we use them for God's pleasure than how we be able to use our gifts for God properly?

God delights in you, God is the maker of all, and he is the creator of everything, but no other creature in exsistance can make such a boast as God to always love his creations. Whether it be a faithful ant fulfilling it's purpose of carrying that leaf ten times its size back to the ant hill, or a fallen angel, God loves everything he has created, but he can't love everything man himself has produced. Remember how I talked about the difference of consequences and punishment? The same goes for a creation and a product. A creation is something God has made, a product is something that a creation has produced. Sin for example is not a creation but a product. But even though the one thing God intended this world for screwed up the simple task of obeying him, he provided a way out. Your creator loved you so much, and hated what your produced and what held you back from knowing him, that he sent his own son, to make the ultimate product possible. Redemption.

Can you hear God? Or have you build walls like school, or even friends that block him from allowing you to produce wonderful things for him? Have you used what God has given you to your full potential? I know I haven't been. But I sure as heck am going to do my darndest to now. What about you?

-Brent

PS. This is not all I learnt, but in order to rest your eyes I'm splitting this up into multiple blogs.

Youth Website in the works...

Haha, I finally get to put my computer skills to good use.

Anyway today I was talking to Karyn at lunch ( and yes Ashley you were there, I didn't forget about you.) and on Wednesday she proposed ( mm, proposed is such a lame word, how bout we use, oh I don't know, furnish, I do love furniture) the idea of making a website for the youth, so I sat down in my programming class and got to work making templates for the idea. It's looking interesting so far, but Karyn and I will have to get to together and come up with what to put on the site, and furthermore ( mmm, lets use conjointly instead, now there is a fun word ^_^) you guys, well mostly gals, can forward ideas of what should go on the site.

Oh and there will be a forum on the site, but I have to remember how to do forums, I'm going to have to talk with some people in my class on monday, and get together with Marc-Jon one day, as he and them can help me with that.

Alright back to homework and sleep.

-Brent

The Sanctimonious Camaraderie

If you know what those two words mean than you must know what I'm going to talk about next.

We live in the most akward and mis-singled world imaginable.

We wake up to a term of equality and yet society still pulls us into the contrast that if we looked as good as the person on that poster sporting those pulchritudinous pair of jeans we will not be mocked by our eonic syndicate thats says one thing but does a total opposite, and that we will be the picture of true transcendence.

If you read John 3: 1-24
You may find that it doesn't matter to God what you look like or how you dress or even how much sin you have, god wants us to except him for whom he is, and that is our savior. After all he did die for our sins, and if we want to except him for whom he is, we have to first be able to except ourselves as who he created us to be.

What society directly opposes the word of God? Why is it that in society these days that a "wuse" is a person who crys when they fall down.

"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng."
Psalm 42: 2-4

God wants us to shed tears in front of him, for then we are pouring out to him, and with truth and sincerity in our moment of insecurity. We should no longer cling to this world's ideals but we should pour out to God. Then can we be free from our bonds to society and truely be ready to worship God and enter his kingdom he has prepared for us.

-Brent

PS. I let up on using too many big words... Karyn have fun reading.

Man school is terrible...

Anyway who was there on Tuesday that night I ranted on about school, should actually read this closely. Cory interrupted my actual point behind this, so I'd be better if you actually read all this.

With that said time for one of my crazy inane rants.

So seriously your reading my blog, and chances are you are, have been, or never will again, go to school.

Seriously anyone who likes school must not be totally there or they are really skipping classes to hang out with their friends. News flash, that doesn't count.

Now don't get me wrong, learning is awesome but there are things about school that just plain suck.

Right now I'm pretty much talking about High school but people in College and university can relate.

Lets list off some things that make school a drag:

• Lame Teachers, you know the ones that aren't doing their job of actually teaching you. Heck most people hate teachers for the next reason and that is...
• Homework, I for one don't mind it, but it takes time, hey if I could get out of doing homework, I would. But apparently it helps your progress in school.
• The collective attitude that what you do now effects your entire life. I mean seriously who has heard their teacher say that if you fail this test you will end up with a bad grade? As we all no bad grades will ruin the rest of our lives for all eternity right? No? Then why does it seem like the entire school makes you think that.

Seriously I have no idea how to run this pointless composing box on this blog, so I'm switching over to HTML mode because I am really comfortable with it.

---

Oh man I love the

---

command. Anyway where was I?
Oh yes. We go to school to have it drilled in our heads that this foot in the door is the only chance we will have, and if we screw up now, our whole lives we be screwed. Harsh words, but really thats the plain truth of what we our told from grade 4 till we graduate college. If we don't do well in Grade 10 Math for example, we won't do well in Grade 11 math, and then without Grade 11 math we won't graduate... blah blah blah. Really it's only up to us to commit to passing and doing well, heck I could just plain not try in Math 10 and get a pass and then in Grade 11 get straight A's because I started to care. My point is, how much stress do we face when we go to schools and find out that even though we are giving full effort we find out that "Brent, your not trying hard enough". I got that from my socials teacher in grade 10. He told me I wasn't trying. I got a B. Not trying, heck I worked my butt off for a B, he doesn't know me... I think I'm just frustrated with schools lying to us. That if we screw up in school our whole lives will be ruined.

Heres my point, it doesn't matter what job you have, what grades you get in school, or even if you graduated or not. We are equal in the eyes of god. God loves us for who we are, not how good or bad we do in school. Now if schools taught that in schools, maybe we wouldn't have 80% of the suicide rate in Canada being Highschool kids.

I'm not saying don't try... I saying that this isn't all there is in life. School is just the beginning, remember your still young, and you have a life to do what you want. With that said I'd also like to meation one big important fact. This realm isn't just it. I mean I'd rather spend my time in school helping my friends to know god and end up in heaven then get good grades.

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
Proverbs 9:9

We can learn all the knowledge in the world, and still be idiots. Idiots for not choosing God.

The only way we can suceed is with God. I can't be more blunt than that. I don't mean succeed as in have the most money or a nice car, or being the smartest or the fastest or the strongest, or the most beautiful as this world and the society even in our school tells us we have to be. Why do we go to school? Do we learn about God at school now a days? No, we learn so we can go to college, and get a degree so we can get a career. Thats not what the bible tells us is the most important thing to do. I notice more and more that we as christians in this area of work, yes going to school is considered an occupation, decide that we our to busy to listen to what tells us to do. The next time you get home, think about what you do first. Your homework or do you thank god for helping you get through another day at school?
