In the bible it seems like that can happen like with Isaac and Rebekah, or Jacob and Rachel. If you see their kindness or love for God, or for others you could fall in love instantly, but I don't think you can fall in love based on how they look physically--that's lust. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Do you believe that everyone has a soulmate out there somewhere?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> No, you have to commit to someone and choose to love them selflessly as Jesus loves us--But I think if you wait on whoever God wants you to be with, then you will be perfect for each other because God will bless you for waiting and not dating tons of guys to find someone perfect....no one is perfect, you just have to overlook the quirks, and learn to love those things too. Like, I don't like football, but Zach does--I'm not going to dump him because we don't agree on every little thing...and I wouldn't want to find someone that did everything perfect. I accept these things as part of him, and I learn to love those parts of him, and wouldn't be able to replace him. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Are you for or against the death penalty?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> Against I guess...I think they should have to live a horrible life in a bad cell with no luxeries whatsoever...I don't really think people should be in charge of who lives and who dies--God should be in charge of that. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Are you anti-abortion or pro-choice?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> Anti-abortion. I'm also anti-family planning and birth control. It's not our responsibility to decide when a baby should live or not. God should bless people however he chooses. Some people can't get pregnant at all--God's in charge of it. Look it up in the bible--does God ever tell us to not have babies, or to keep ourselves from that? He always calls them a blessing--each one--not an inconvenience. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Do you agree with the war in Iraq?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> I don't even know how it started, but I think we should defend ourselves and help them, you can't just let people attack you..but it's okay to fight for a reason. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Did you agree with France banning headscarves in public school?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> Never even heard of that. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Do you think kids should be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> No, but it probably shouldn't be taken out of schools, if you don't want to say it, then don't. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Do you believe in evolution or creationism?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> Creationism. I also don't believe in the gap theory (where "one day" means a span of time). I believe God created everything in 6 days. There is more scientific evidence for that than for evolution. Most things about evolutin have been proven wrong years ago but are still in the text books because they have no other theory. It's not science, it's their own beliefs. </td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="width:50%;text-align:left;background-color:#e0fae5;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;border:1px solid #00f035;border-top:0px;border-left:0px;">Do you think gay couples should have the right to marry?:</td><td style="background-color:#a6fcb9;color:#000;padding:0px 2px;text-align:left;"> Absolutely not. Why would they want to get married other than the benefits? Marriage has always been a covenant, and it's something God created...they shouldn't be able to get married.

They are just as bad as the Harry Potter books, except that a lot of churches are accepting of it! :O<br /><br />It's horrible really. Read the article, and warn all your Christian friends to not read the books or see the movies.<br /><br />I was really upset, and now motivated because it said in that article that she wrote the first book and had it ready for publishing within six months of starting to write the book.<br /><br />Now I have a new motivation to write my book, because I see that Satan worked in her, and got his message out there, and I should work harder to get God's message out there through my books. I'm writing a Christian fiction novel, and I'll probably write more--the problem is I just need to write it lol.Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-39589880404298787942009-01-24T19:13:00.000-08:002009-01-24T19:14:19.692-08:00I died last night--Again<img src="http://www.kaneva.com/images/spacer.gif" width="10" border="0" height="1" /> <table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr> <td class="widgetText" style="width: 589px;" align="left" nowrap="nowrap"><span id="ctl05_repeaterBlogs_ctl00_lblDate"><br /></span><span id="ctl05_repeaterBlogs_ctl00_lblTitle" class="widgetdatebold"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="http://www.kaneva.com/images/spacer.gif" width="1" border="0" height="3" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="widgetText" style="width: 589px;" align="left"><span class="widgetext">I have been a Christian for about 3 years. The night I was saved, I died, and let Jesus live in my body, and made me pure. I lived for him in all my actions, and sought him above all. Things started to slip when I thought I had to be baptized with water in order to be saved (I now know I was already saved, and still am--water baptism is to show others as an example that you will live for Jesus). But ever since then I have been slipping, even though I shouldn't be.<br /><br />I tried to be better by my own strength. That wasn't working out. I still wasn't being who I wanted to be. But lately I've really been seeking him again, and letting him rule in my life, and putting him first. I seek to please him above myself. I realized it's not all about me. I'm so happy now. I'm reading a book called Thin Within by Judy Halliday and her husband, and today on day 3 they said to make goals, and use your gifts for God's glory. Lately, I've been all about God's glory. I don't care to please myself anymore, because it just makes me worse. I want to please God. His way is the only way. <br /><br />So today I set goals. I want to be 129 lbs at the end of the 30 days-- I'm 142 right now. And I want to lead 40 people to accept Jesus as their Savior in 30 days--and I've maybe led one or two people to him in my life lol. I set almost impossible goals because they said so. If you set something easily attainable, you will think it's of yourself. But if you can accomplish it, you'll know it was by God's power. Even if I come fairly close that would be a miracle. I'm so excited to use my talents for God's glory. When you know your place and are comfortably set in God's plan and submit to it, the joy is unexplainable. <br /><br />Last night I died again. I was so fed up with my sin, and living life the way I want to, that I cried and prayed to God to take my body as a living sacrifice. I told Him that I wanted myself to die, along with all my selfish desires, and to let me live as Jesus did. I felt like he just entered my body in a new way. Revelation 3:20 says, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Jesus was just waiting for me to completely invite him in, with no selfish motives...with a willing and obedient heart. I am so excited for the journey that lies before me. To God be the glory.</span></td></tr></tbody></table>Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-25370429087424279372008-02-07T14:27:00.001-08:002008-02-07T14:27:29.265-08:00A Generation After God's HeartThe majority of youth in this world crave for the wrong things. Searching for the ultimate, but not understanding what that ultimate really is. But there are some out there brave enough to be the voice of truth. You are chosen by God to do great things! Let your light shine before all, and they will see you, and praise God. BE THE REVOLUTION! Make huge changes in your home, in your school, in your community, and even the world! It starts with one heart; a heart filled with God's holy fire. GET INVOLVED! Find something you can do to benefit others, and to bring a smile to God's face. (Check out volunteer match on the right side of the page.) VOLUNTEER! In everything you do, do it for the glory of God. SMILE! You are a precious child of God! Share this love with others, in any way you can! Say hi to a stranger, help an old lady in the parking lot, pick up a piece of garbage so others will see your love. DO ANYTHING! Talk to people of God's love. It's the best thing in the world to lead someone to Jesus!Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-56505848176742840572008-02-02T16:13:00.000-08:002008-02-02T19:44:19.268-08:00Forgiveness<div><br /><br /><div>Ephesians 4:32</div><br /><br /><div><br />Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ.<br /><br />Jesus wants us to flow with the kindness that he gave to us. He loved us while we were still sinners, and we should <a href="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m129/jeffguill/forgiven.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m129/jeffguill/forgiven.jpg" border="0" /></a>show others that same compassion. Someone might have hurt you, but forgiveness is a choice. And once you make that choice, you will be happy and so will the other person.</div><br /><br /><div><br />If you don't forgive, you will be holding that grudge, and you won't be happy. The other person won't be happy either. And God won't be happy. He can't forgive you if you can't forgive others.<br />When you make the decision to forgive you're being a shining example of how Jesus can forgive sinners. If us humans can forgive, then Jesus can forgive us a million times more. Jesus <a href="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f266/rubybay/Forgiveness.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 307px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 352px" height="299" alt="" src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f266/rubybay/Forgiveness.jpg" border="0" /></a>will forgive us any time we ask him as long as we mean it. So can you. If someone in your life just can't stop screwing up, but really does want to change, it's your job to forgive. </div><br /><br /><div><br />And when you finally do, you'll both be joyful and can love each other, and have that abounding in your heart rather than hurt and anger.</div><br /><br /><div><br />So if there is someone in your life that you need to forgive, do it today, and you will all be happy, and you'll be an example to others of what Jesus does for all of us.</div></div>Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-28492074016738588962008-02-02T15:43:00.000-08:002008-10-22T18:52:13.335-07:00Do Not Judge<div>Philippians 2:3</div><br /><br /><div><br />Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.<br /><br />Sometimes we look at others and judge them. We want them to do things differently, or think they look bad, or want them to be nicer to us. But God wants us to treat everyone the same, and not show favoritism or to think that someone is below us. We're all under God, and we're all made by Him. We're all in equal need of His grace.</div><br /><br /><div><br />When you see people as being creations of the same Father, you begin to feel more connected to people, and hope the best for them. Remember that you're not perfect either. Just like Jesus said, we always try to take the speck out of someone else's eye, but we don't want to see the plank in our own eye.</div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r88/yakka_bucket/judge.jpg"></a><br />Look at yourself first, then help other people if they're willing to hear it. But don't think you're better than them. We're all in the same boat. Jesus will judge them, it's not your job.</div><br /><br /><div></div><div> </div><div>Love others as yourself, and this judgement will fade away from your eyes. We need to humble ourselves as Jesus did. He even washed people's feet. And feet are disgusting lol. We always want to look out for ourselves, and just survive. But we should be like servants for God, and help others whenever we can. </div><br /><br /><div><br />We are supposed to be like ambassadors of heaven, showing others what our homeland is like. Being an example of what they can have in their hearts too. So when we judge people and are mean and rude, we give people the wrong idea of what God is like. No one would want to love a God like that, and He isn't like that. People make mistakes, but we need to learn <a href="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb99/pepper_077/Christian/02.gif"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand" height="133" alt="" src="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb99/pepper_077/Christian/02.gif" border="0" /></a>how to have self-control. We need to have peace and patience with people, and show them how Jesus is. </div><br /><br /><div><br />It takes one to know one. So when you say someone is snobby or doesn't work the right way, you're identifying something that you know is wrong with yourself too. But if you show others the things they are doing right, and encourage them, they will want to do even better. Brighten someone's day with a kind word. Be joyful always, and take care of people and their hearts. When people see how you treat them, they will want to worship your God. Treat others how you want to be treated.</div>Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-73163440595465422652008-02-01T15:25:00.000-08:002008-02-01T15:53:44.262-08:00Be Like Children<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4wNQUHMfAtKY0anuhUeANjLFfA98WBqctg2HOTfmJc0jN5NYp_Vs_7lgM0mp4NO9Bd_3m_s-cppqMEtvHtHX_ZXd6Lntu13whlskLIaVG81FgqMDVYYv64JuLW7fZTYukEl932qhNpQ/s1600-h/childrenjesusok6.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162162334335161746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4wNQUHMfAtKY0anuhUeANjLFfA98WBqctg2HOTfmJc0jN5NYp_Vs_7lgM0mp4NO9Bd_3m_s-cppqMEtvHtHX_ZXd6Lntu13whlskLIaVG81FgqMDVYYv64JuLW7fZTYukEl932qhNpQ/s200/childrenjesusok6.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div>Luke 18:16-17<br /><br /><div>Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

We should want to have a relationship with God too, we're never too old.</div><div> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAHPawrfSb_BTzTO3ugj-CJYwkoZ32L3vvNkG17ai8sxVVAFyWZfnCkKrz889YngJZmXldZr8GI_x1CbYge9QrJrNblke8RjLa2hbqT1M5jpRS6ubOfLSB0sPFnhyphenhyphenM_3fVWwBCP_n0tw/s1600-h/th_grace_old_man_praying.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162161385147389314" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAHPawrfSb_BTzTO3ugj-CJYwkoZ32L3vvNkG17ai8sxVVAFyWZfnCkKrz889YngJZmXldZr8GI_x1CbYge9QrJrNblke8RjLa2hbqT1M5jpRS6ubOfLSB0sPFnhyphenhyphenM_3fVWwBCP_n0tw/s200/th_grace_old_man_praying.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Get on your knees and humble yourself to our Lord, and understand that He loves you.

Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others?<br /><br />Let's say you're in line at the store, ready to check out. You get to the cashier and she doesn't say anything to you, or even look at you. She starts stuffing your things into the plastic bags and you say, "Hello, how are you?" She snaps, "Horrible!" She doesn't even give you the correct change, and you tell her about it. She goes crazy on you. What do you do?</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7efmgExhcx1uxApThQVsVVqg8fWWql-QDI6CSzOWoGq8YE81-2bt7QZJnzOHQSt_h3dZUPcibZF-Pc7J3m_8ZtBkuE0D0JyyDKFQZxnHdUqKXpG00r6Z8sPs9znx6JqEwLc-kL7EHdn8/s1600-h/pray.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162154508904748306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7efmgExhcx1uxApThQVsVVqg8fWWql-QDI6CSzOWoGq8YE81-2bt7QZJnzOHQSt_h3dZUPcibZF-Pc7J3m_8ZtBkuE0D0JyyDKFQZxnHdUqKXpG00r6Z8sPs9znx6JqEwLc-kL7EHdn8/s200/pray.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />That was something that happened to a pastor, and he was saying how he could have gotten upset and yelled at her too, but he calmly asked if he could pray for her, and she smiled, and told him that it would nice of him. And she said how she has a daughter in the hospital and they don't know if she is going to get well.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">That was a great example of self-control and love. If he had yelled at her, she might have done something crazy and quit her job and left her family in even more dispair. But in this act of love, he got to show God's glory to a woman who had hit the bottom, and she had gotten a ray of hope from a kind stranger that cared for her even when she was mean to him.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><br />Everyone has someone in their life at some point, who does something not so nice to them. Someone might cut you off when you're driving, or say something rude about what you're wearing, or just seem to be ignoring you or is in a grumpy mood, grunting every word they say.<br />Instead of returning anger with anger, surprise them and be nice to them even though they're being mean to you. This will soften their hearts. Why would you want to make them even more mad? You would only seek revenge or the last mean word to boost your own ego, but in the end you'll just feel angry, and later guilty. And no one is helped.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><br />Don't carry someone else's attitude with you the whole day. If someone did something mean or rude to you, don't let that poison you. Let go of it and move on if they don't want your help. Happiness is a choice. Focus your thoughts on God and His goodness, and you will have peace. </div><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXV7QPHc8MvFkKPL1L5HSSrF8fwsKq0q5v6-VCl5nd0bwJA8nGRBp0YnNoYw4KlLg2ec3Sv7mCvTsNuufOevIvlHB7jl90lnXPvWkW2rquzd504D95b9fLp87QT43qvldA9caqLf5qTzk/s1600-h/pray2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162153456637760754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXV7QPHc8MvFkKPL1L5HSSrF8fwsKq0q5v6-VCl5nd0bwJA8nGRBp0YnNoYw4KlLg2ec3Sv7mCvTsNuufOevIvlHB7jl90lnXPvWkW2rquzd504D95b9fLp87QT43qvldA9caqLf5qTzk/s200/pray2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Don't seek revenge, because if it really was that horrible, God will justify you in the end. Leave everything up to God, and let him do the judging. All you have to do is love. That is the sole purpose God made you for.</div></div>Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605696019420135398.post-22030423947363374132008-02-01T13:34:00.001-08:002008-02-01T14:23:12.887-08:00Ponder<p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVpkPu6CA6KU6CO7uvrVyZTJnydEhyphenhyphencxgtcoLY07E77_qA2rrcLA0_lAfVkdSsXbCcVnqu7dN2iZJYl2vB_xAlfDMsG16b3HB7PivChBcf1qp5seNRRy6AZkZjKTinbRBjsAH5SE4X8xo/s1600-h/th_ponder.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162134726285382850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVpkPu6CA6KU6CO7uvrVyZTJnydEhyphenhyphencxgtcoLY07E77_qA2rrcLA0_lAfVkdSsXbCcVnqu7dN2iZJYl2vB_xAlfDMsG16b3HB7PivChBcf1qp5seNRRy6AZkZjKTinbRBjsAH5SE4X8xo/s200/th_ponder.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sometimes I think really deep lol. I have always done this. I always felt like the body wasn't just a body that happened by chance to your parents. I always felt like I could have been born as someone else. And sometimes I would ask myself, why was I born this way? Why wasn't I born as someone else? I could have had different parents and lived somewhere completely different. Or why am I a girl and not a boy?<br /><br />Sometimes I think really deep and wonder, why is there only two genders? Why not four or five? Who set all these rules of the world. Why are there certain colors...is it possible to make more colors? Why does the sky have <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM1ssy_RmBnstDa55uDXNAyxjhCCRk3bmlHN69HtnD4qw4MbTqLdwncY5PK9MLAHRfYNTRiLcUVKM6hJ3rUWkdpt2gm5Sx78MUt0A2i2m8duoVe-FqcXiKA3KDdSAqgT6qCgLjJeSSWcg/s1600-h/th_boy_and_girl.gif"></a>to be blue? Why do rainbows appear?<br /><br />Science will say that you were born who you are because your parents got together and made you, but somehow with my deep thinking, this still never made sense to me. I can see how the body would form in my mother's womb, but I still don't understand why a body equals life. But the thing is God gives life to the body.<br /><br /><br /><br />Or they will say that you are a girl because of the x and y factors and you have to have a certain matching. But I always wondered why it happens that way. Doesn't someone have to decide which way it's gonna land? Gravity decides which way your penny will land, so doesn't something else have to decide how your gender will work out?<br /><br />Or why do we see through our eyes, and why do we talk from our mouths, but when we talk we look at someone's eyes instead of their mouth...it's like our eyes are windows to our souls. Don't most of us agree we have a soul? Then where does it come from? We didn't have our mother create a soul in her womb lol. That just sounds insane. </p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzs5Dmf933ix9RmOaDTJqB60WeOgEpvFGPLqCevrP3pUWoCxptTSh_Hh6PkUVhQFnno0WRsl8UEWGo-crCW2PSweh5-i6dvyN_J8KBNXYH6RzCwpJeWd4u6Fp81A45-Dg_9UdsjmJLPg/s1600-h/th_boy_and_girl.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162139656907838690" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 177px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 129px" height="112" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCzs5Dmf933ix9RmOaDTJqB60WeOgEpvFGPLqCevrP3pUWoCxptTSh_Hh6PkUVhQFnno0WRsl8UEWGo-crCW2PSweh5-i6dvyN_J8KBNXYH6RzCwpJeWd4u6Fp81A45-Dg_9UdsjmJLPg/s200/th_boy_and_girl.gif" width="160" border="0" /></a><br />Why is there two genders and not four or five? Who decided that there would be two genders? Did evolution do this? Are we not satisfied with what genders our monkey ancestors established and that is why there are gay and transexual people? (I'm being sarcastic here. We don't come from monkeys..lol I'm sorry, that was just needed) It just doesn't make sense.<br /><br />Where do colors come from? How can evolution explain colors? They say we evolve because we need new things and adapt to our environments to survive and become better. But why the colors? Did they just materialize because we needed something pretty to look at? The world could have been flat and grey if evolution is real, and it wouldn't make a difference to their theory. It would make more sense if our world was as simple and survivable as could be.<br />Why does the sky have to be blue? They say it's because of the water molecules, but I think too deep, and I wonder why does water molecules have to be blue?<br /><br />Why does a rainbow have to show up in the wet air? Why are the colors arranged that way? People don't think it's a big deal when a rainbow appears, or they spray their garden hose through the air and it shows up...but don't they think deeply like I do and wonder why it does that. Couldn't it just be one color in the rainbow? Why does it do that?<br /><br />I believe that God is more believable than all of this happening by chance. Evolutionists have more faith than I do because it takes more faith to believe that this is all an accident. There has to be a designer, a creator, a caretaker, of all of these wonderful things in our world. This couldn't happen by chance.<br /><br />And a soul is a real thing. A scientist may be able to create a human body in a petri dish, but they can't give it a soul, and the breath of life. It only lives because God lets it live. When we're born, God breathes a breath of life into us, and it stays in our nostrils until the day we die.<br /><br />But sometime inbetween, we have to make the choice to be born again, and get a heart of flesh to replace our heart of stone, and a new spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, (your mom gives birth to your body) but the Spirit gives birth to Sprit (God gives you the Holy Spirit). Non-believers of Jesus are born once, and die twice. Christians are born twice and die once. (Born from your mother, then you can be born again and have the Holy Spirit or not. Then everyone dies. But some go to heaven. Some die again in hell.)<br /><br />Most people are walking around not fully alive. They may have their body, and their brains and their souls, but they don't have a real Spirit in them. They are missing half of themselves, and that is why they wander around their whole lives looking for something to fill that hole in their heart.<br /><br />I hope you can realize that you're not an accident, and that if you're still missing that piece of your heart, that you will let Him in you today. </p>Daily Christian Growthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00101097451731968705noreply@blogger.com0
