Glorify God.
Today during prayer meeting, i was in a group with MQ & Rebekah. Asking each other how our weeks went, i shared with them about my religion class. They asked me how i feel when we talk about Christianity in class. I told them a story how during class one day, a girl said Jesus sinned in the Bible, and that we shouldn't follow Him. Obviously i was angry when i heard that, and also the fact that she said these things when she didn't even get the story correct. Being angry isn't a sin, and what Jesus did.. flipping over tables definitely wasn't sinning. Because the people selling products in God's temple was a sin, and Jesus had every right to be angry at that.
While we were praying one by one, i couldn't help but have the words MQ prayed about stick in my head. She prayed and asked God to give me courage in religion class. Courage to stand up for God. Courage to speak up to glorify Him. This stuck with me because now that i think about it, all i did was listen to people talk badly about God. And as a Christian, i shouldn't do that.. EVER. I have to speak up for God. I have to glorify Him, and let the world know the Truth, even if it may just be in my religion class. This world is getting darker and darker each day, and we need to spread the word of God.
