Well, today i spoke at the bible study. It was pretty rockin. I i had idea how i was going to lay it out so i decided to practice today. Man I'm glad i did or i would have choked up so many times tonight. Probably the awesomest part of it is i had absolutely nothing in mind to speak about when i said i would speak. I just knew God wanted me to do it. I remembered Pastor Allen's teachings to us whenever we were eaglets at the mission this summer. So i went to part of the bible and started writing a whole speel on that, but i realized i had nothing to give from myself. Then i remember a really cool passage i ran into on the camping trip. It was Galations 4:1-7. It talks about how we are heirs of the King of Kings in chapter 3:26-29 and the proceeds off of it. chapter 4 talks about how we have inherited the full rights of sons since we have been saved by faith. Sinces we are sons we have the spirit of Christ Jesus in our hearts and that spirit cries out, "Abba Father". The awesome thing about all of this is that we have the full rights of sons and have inherited everything that God's son(Jesus) was capabe of. Not only do we have a rocin spirit that is constantling crying out to our daddy. Also in chapter 3:26-29 it says that we are clothed in christ. We wear him everywhere we go, we dwell in him, we cannot run away from him. It's all so awesome i wish more could have been there because i elaborated so much more and i wish i could online,but my computer is stubborn and not the highest of quality. I'm going to aproach this school year wearing Christ as my clothing. We wear him as a mark. When you go to the door to see a show they give you a stamp on your hand to show that you are paid for. That's what christ is. I love you all. I wish you could have been there it went very well.
