We must be willing to die for Christ sake. This shows God that we belive in him and trust ourselves to him.. We are on his schedule not one that we made. He planned us from before were born. So, we should willing take up our cross daily and follow him.

Just because we are not persecuted does not mean that we are bad. It may be a sign that you need to work on expressing your love for God more openly. Try to bring more people to know Jesus Christ. We should find happiness in persecution by knowing that we are loved by God and that we are here serving him.

Whatever persecution I may receive for sharing in Christ's suffering cannot compare to that which he suffered for us. We cannot even come close to understanding the suffering he endured for us. The movie Passion of the Christ gives us a better understanding so we can start to comprehend the suffering he endured. We need to be sure that we remeber the love that God has for us to send his son here to suffer and die to save us from sin.

By avoiding persecution we risk the fear of not spening eternity with God. Also we will not truley understand an ounce of what Jesus endured for us on the cross. Jesus suffered for us so that we may be saved we should be ready to any persecution for him.

They should not be promoting themselves but rather God and his wroking through them to lead others to serve him. I am not clear as to exactly what gifts he has given. But there maybe some gifts that he has given that we are never clear on and that we do our everyday things that help to serve him in ways that we can never comprehend or know about. Like if youwere to help someone who was less off than you and it was like second nature. Youdid not realize that God was working through you and how greatful that person was to have you to help them.

We all do not want to give accounts of our lives because when we think of it we realize that we are sinners. By giving account of our lives we should use this to help us to prepare ourselve for Christ and try to do that which we know is right.

The non-Christians try to get us to sin with them so that they cna say that we are not better than they are when we refuse to do the things we know are wrogn in God's eyes. But we are tempted because we don't want to have to defend ourself to anyone. But we can resist the temptaion and pray for God to help guide us when we start to wander onto the path of sin. Walking away fromthe temptaiton is also another thing we can do to avoid falling into sin.

It should help keep from sinning knowing that Jesus willingly took upon him the suffering for all our sins to save us from a life in eternal hell. He wants us to be with him and the father in eternal joy and life.

I was baptized as a small child which I know that some churches call it child dedication. I never had the influence of my God parent's like I should have. Some people I think just pick someone because they are family and don't want to hurt anyones feelings. However I have decided to pledge my life to Jesus and promise to serve him. I am going to be baptized again so that I can let the immersion of the water take me from the life I have lived and to be reborn into a life of serving Jesus Christ.

Jesus died for my sins. I now that I am not deserving of this. However by Jesus coming to us and suffering for me I need to worship God and share the news with others so that I can indeed have eternal life with the father in heaven.

It is hard enough for most to be a witness to people not persecuting us. So, for us to be the right kind of witness we need to reflect first and determine the kind of witness we need to be and then believe in God to help us in our struggles. I know that fo rme in my situations I need to work on keeping a clear conscience. So, I don't get off the track that I am in following Jesus.

I feel that my church has most of these qualities. They work together an dsupport others in need. All are needed to make us more Christ like churches. We should work on them at home before we can expect others to do the same.

Women should try to look their best but, should not forget that their inner beauty is just as important as well. Some women concentrate too much on what they look like that they lose who they are inside. We cannot forget what it is htat is important to God.

We find submission difficult because we don't look at doing it voluntarily. But more as a task that is not as understood to us. THis does not mean that we keep quiet we must still stand up and correct people so that they may learn to follow God in the right way. Because it is not right for us to be submissive whe it will lead us to sin against God. We must still remain true to our faith and do what is right to lead an example for ohters to live by.

Sin is so powerful because we aer by nature sinful since the garden of eden. It is something we must learn overcome and not let it take over our lives. We must rid ourselves the old self so that we may be reborn and live in Jesus name. We die of sin by being baptized to rid our old self and live for righteousness when we are cleansed by the washing of our sins.
