Racism

Well first of all, I think racism is so stupid! It is so bad to think you are better than someone by the color of your skin. I believe that thier are not multiple races, there is only one, and that is the human race. If you look back to the flood, all mankind was wiped out except for eight people, so apparently we all decended from the same guys. The people that were on the ark were middle brown, so they could have children that were white or darker skinned(that's why people are different skin colors). So if we all decended from the same people, I don't know how people could think they are better than someone because of skin color. I guess the Church has taken some of the worldly beliefs(like darwinism) into the church, instead of taking the church to the lost people. We need to be in the world, but not of it. We need to realize what is going on in the world, but not let the things the non-Christians do affect us. Instead, we need to go and tell those lost people about Christ. When a non-believer affends us, we need to feel sorry that that person doesn't know God instead of getting all mad at that person. For me, that is very hard to do and it is something I need to work on. Well back to the racism, God created ONE human race, and God loves all of us the same. Just because a person is white doesn't mean they are better than everyone else. We are all one is race, and more importantly, we are all one in CHRIST! I think in Revelation it talks about the different nationalities of people all worshiping together and praising one God. I wish the church today was like that instead of there being mostly white churches and mostly black churches. It's just so sad to me how terrible racism is becoming in our country. I realize it's not as bad as it once was, but I think someday it may be that bad again unless people make a change for the better.

Just the Way You Are
              By Bruno Mars
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Because you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah

*I think this song is trying to say that this guy looks at his girl and sees how pretty she is and she doesnt think she is, and he thinks that is so sad. And every time she asks if she looks ok, he tells her that there is nothing he would change because he thinks she is amazing just the way she is. It mainly talks about how she hates things about herself, but he finds those things cute.
*I think this is not a bad song to listen to because the beat is very catchy and the lyrics are good too! It may not be a Christian song and i dont even know if the writer of it is a Christian, but it has somewhat of a Christian message. As Christians, we are suppossed to like people for who they are, not what they look like, and that is what this guy feels for this girl, he like her for who she is and doesnt want her to change, and i think that is very sweet.

Teen Sex... Is it good?

     I cannot believe that people would think that teen sex could be good! They say is relieves stress, but I think that is false. In the Bible on many accounts, it talks about how having sex outside of marriage is WRONG! As a Christian, I also belive it is wrong. When we become a Christian, that desire to have sex before marriage tends to go away. Sex needs to be saved for marriage because sex is a gift from God that is to show how amazing it is to know Him. If we do it before we are married, we will go through tons of emotions we wont know how to deal with. And if you have before marriage, there is a risk you could pregant at an early age, and that would ruin your life. Also, people that have sex tend to drop out of school. Most likely because they got pregant, and it would be hard to deal with a child and go to school all at the same time. In I Corinthians 6:18, it says "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person committs is outside the body, but the sexual immoral person sins against his own body."  In I Corinthians 10:8 is says "We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day."  In I Thessalonians 4:3 it says " For this is the will of God that you abstain from sexual immorality."  In these verses from the Bible, we see that God really hates sexual immorality. This should be our number one reason to not have sex before marriage. If you're dating a guy and they want to have sex, and they dump you, that is the best thing that could happen. Or if they ask why you don't want to have sex, you could tell them that I don't want to have sex because I am in love with Jesus and I want to save it for marriage because it shows how much God loves  me. So in conclusion, obviously sex before marriage is wrong. But if you have had sex, God will forgive you if you repent with a truly broken heart, but don't just keep doing it because you know it will be forgiven.
