Hey so this was my very first post when I first started blogging.. For some reason, it didn't get transferred from my old website.. So anyway, here it is!
**********************************************
Hi everyone! This is my first blog!!!! Well, sort of... The other one is just me being all excited about my new website... So it doesn't really qualify as a blog... Anyway, I thought I would talk about 1Peter 2:9 in this blog.. Since it is the verse that gave me the idea to create this website.. So just in case you already forgot it, i will type the verse here so you can refer to it as you're reading..

1 Peter 2:9
"But you are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
Did you catch that?? WE ARE CHOSEN! And if you read any farther then that it says we're SPECIAL! No, I don't think it means special as in special ed.. 
We're special because we get to tell the world about the love of Jesus! How awesome is that? But there's one problem.. WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!! Now, I'm sure this is going through your head right now, "But Sarah i AM doing something! I just told that person about Jesus the other day! At least I think so... Kind of... Not really.. Oh and i talked to that person! No, wait.. That was my pastor... Well, I was GOING to talk to that person.. But she was busy!!" I'm not saying all of you are not doing anything.. But the MAJORITY of this generation (Those of us who are Christians) love Jesus and want to serve Him, but don't reach out to other people with the Gospel because their SCARED. We're scared of what people will think of us. We're scared that we won't know what to say. We're scared that they won't accept it. But we don't need to be scared anymore! Because the Bible says in Hebrews 13:6,

Because the Bible says in Hebrews 13:6,"So we say with CONFIDENCE, the Lord is my helper;I will NOT be afraid. What can man do to me?"
And again, in Psalm 56:3-4
"When i am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word i praise. In God i trust; i will NOT be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?"
So what do you think will happen when the teens of our generation, rise up and make a CHANGE? Let's find out! And when you become afraid to share the Gospel, think of this verse:
Psalm 46:11
The Lord Almighty is WITH US; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
God bless,
Sarah
