Matthew 6:1-4: "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
That was our scripture in Sunday School today. you don't need to wear t-shirts or stand with your arms up at meltdown to be a Christian. Its normal to get angry at God, and you already do more than most "Christians" do by talking to God. You should consider coming back to sunday school. Jennifer Drummond teaches everyother week and she does a really good job.
i actually want to go to sunday school but i rarely get the chance. ive been out of town or just exausted from soccer and what not to go. but, ill be back eventually.
during high school at east hill for the most part i constantly felt i was under so much pressure and yet wasnt living up to Gods expectations, or that there were always those that seemed like such better christians than i could ever be...those who were involved in church way more than i ever have been.
its not about what you do.. its about what you know, or more importantly who you know, and connecting with God in your daily life and letting him shape your heart to love, learn, and grow as a person, and a believer. up until i was a junior i really questioned and debated in my heart whether or not i even was a christian and i think a lot of it stemmed from the environment i had been schooled at my entire life...and a group of adults that emphasized that everyone had to fit this one mold to be a christian and that the world is black and white and a lot of that in itself made me bitter
