Hi! Remember me? The one who writes things? Yeah it has been a while…
My bad, I have news.
I want
to change the world.
Yep I am
dead serious. I want to change the world.
How? Well
at first I thought, I want to change the way Adults think so they can teach
their kids what is truth and what is not. But the more I thought the more I became
sure, I am trying to fix the problem backwards, how adults think will change,
when we become the adults. Scary, right? We will soon be the adults, running government,
leading the church, dealing with the social problems of the world. And our generation
is truly the turning point, in the past there was a sense of, this is good, and
we are all good, except a few bad…that we don’t talk about. People could dance
in the gray on hot issues and never get burned. Yes, there were the radicals in both
parties but on a whole everyone was together. Well not so any more. The gray is
slowing disappearing, battle lines are being drawn, and there is an ‘us or them’
mentality on issues that has not been present before. It will only get worse. I
am not saying it’s bad or good, I just know it’s there. This is the challenge
we face. We must be following God, and we as the church must be united. But we,
as teenagers hold the future in our hands, and what are we doing? Flirting and
eating chocolate while on Facebook and Twitter, not that I am against any of those
things, in moderation. But there is so, so, sooooooooo much more to life than,
who likes who and what celebs are doing. I am not saying to sit and read the
Bible 24/7 (though if you want to I will in no way discourage it!!) what I am
saying is stand up and make a choice! A choice to find out facts about the world
around us and then do something about them! I choice to stop letting society walk
all over us Christian Kids because we are too scared to say what we really
think! We all can choose sit by and let everyone think that we are, disrespectful,
lazy, rude, teens with our heads in the clouds, or we can be the ones who
change the world. To me the choice is simple. And the Bible backs me up on this
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will
and This is the Message take of Romans 12: 1-2
So
here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary
life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it
before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing
you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit
into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be
changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and
quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down
to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops
well-formed maturity in you.
This is
what the Bible says, it’s your choice. But I will NEVER conform to this world’s
pattern again.
The responsibility
of the WORLD will soon be our generations and if we as Christian teen don’t stand
up now. Nothing will change. and we need change, now.
