About Me
A lot of my peers always
ask me how do I have fun.
They always say, Well what do
you and your boys do?
Yaw must have a boring life. You guys
dont go to parties or anything.
I laugh in my head because
I feel like I have more
fun than even my worldly friends.
I know how Paul told Timothyin 1Timothy
4:12 how we should set the example
in life, in love, in speech, in faith, and
in purity, so I dont fill like Im missing
out on anything. Then theres a whole
bunch of young people I know that believe
in God and know what is right and wrong,
but they think that they have to bump their
head in order to get stronger and grow.
That may be true, but why not learn from
others mistakes instead of
going through unnecessary trials?
In the Garden of Gethsemane,
Jesus said, For themI sanctify myself,
that they too may be truly sanctified.
John 17:19 Jesus set himself apart in order
to do Gods will. The idea of sanctified is the
setting apart for God and His particular use.
Accordingly, believers are set apart for God
and His purposes alone so that the believer
does only what God wants and hates everything
that God hates. Sanctification is accomplished
by means of the truth, which is the revelation
that the Son gave regarding all that the Father
commanded Him to communicate
and is now contained in the Scriptures
left by the apostles.
This world is very wicked and
if we try to blend in, we may as well join
them completely. Of course, we are
in the world, but the Word of God says not to
be of the world. So yea, my boys and I still
go to the high school basketball and football games,
still hit up the mall, the show, and the plaza.
But, we make sure we keep it clean in our fun.
If one of us slips or looks at a young lady in the
wrong way, we make sure we are like, Ay homie
chill out, and you better keep them eyes on the
cross! Lol. We drop the Word and let it convict them.
Also, when we hang out it is not in vein. We witness
and try to prove that being young and unashamed
of the gospel of Christ is not boring.
The Bible says that his people are peculiar.
Not in our own eyes, but in the eyes of the
world. This is so true because the way I think
as young believers is completely different than
the way most of my peers think. We think
different from the music we listen to, to the
clothing we wear, the things we say, etc. So
this is why they always are like, PeeDee dude,
you are so weird or they think Im tripping
because I dont bump the same kind of tunes
as them. But, whether they know it or not,
when you dont compromise your standards
and stand strong in the faith, it is a positive
influence on their life.
So if youre young, and want to do right,
and have the desire to do Gods will, then
understand that you will have to stand alone
sometimes. Make sure that you set yourself apart from
the world; be sanctified. You dont always have to
try to be cool and blend in. Like my man Trip Lee said,
It's cool to stand out.
