the bible movie

I think that movie actually made a lot of sense.  Like when the guys set up the confession booth in seattle to apologize to people.  I mean we should apologize because we have sinned just as much as anyone else and all sins are equal to God.  The booth also shows that we shouldn't be hypocritical because we cant just judge other people's sins. There was something that actually surprised me.  At one point in the movie a guy asked people what they thought christians were associated with.  I thought that a lot of people would say that Christians were hypocrites but most of the people said that christians were loving and kind and try to live life the right way.  The main part of the movie that got to me was when one guy talked about a kid that they picked on in his high school that eventually killed himself.  When I saw this I thought that I'm kinda like that I mean I havnt taken anything to how far those kids did but I do pick on people.  I think that this movie really showed me how to talk to and try to convert non christians because we cant just scream at them and point out there errors but love them.

Jesus Camp

I think that like everything this movie has good and bad things in it.  I really didn't like the part when the little girl said that dead churches are churches that do not stand up and yell when they worship.  First of the Bible never says anything on which type or worship is best.  Just like some people learn in different ways we worship in different ways and some people were just raised differently like the older people sing hms but that does not make their form of worship wrong.  I agree that we do need to be radical but some things are going a little far like saying that harry potter is evil.  If you want to not let your kids watch harry potter then you shouldn't let them watch saving private ryan,  forrest gump,  or any movie because even the classics have sin in them because sin is everywhere and you cant hide them from it.  It also seemed like in one part of the movie that she was saying that we are in a war but we need to fight in a peaceful way and spread the gospel and be peacemakers like the bible tells us to.  Also we do not command God we can't demand him to make a strike in bowling or not to shut off the lights.  We can pray to God but we need to be careful and make sure that we do not try to have authority over him.  This group seems to have there hearts in right place by teaching children about God but it seems borderline brainwashing because everybody has a choice even children and I don't think that they are taking the time to even ask these kids if they want to or even have Jesus in their hearts.

dont waste your life

1.  You can boast only in the cross when you are on the cross.
2.  I think it means that when you finnaly accept God as your savior that you are giving up your old life and your faith is living inside of you.  I think the part where it says I live by faith in the Son of God points out the difference.  I thnk that I need to live by faith at my home because I dont really listen to my parents and I should.

glee episode

 I think that most of the episode is wrong about christianity.  For example the quarterback of the football team is worshipping a grilled cheeses and at the end he feels like God is not looking out for him and he is just floating around in space.  However the show does get some things right like that we definatly should pray to God when we need help or someone we care about or know needs help.  The show also I think emphazises what a lot of christians do.  When everything is going great then we say that we love God but when times go bad we turn against him and doubt him but as christians we need to back up our belief and accept that God has a plan, is in control and knows what he is doing.

matthew 5:13-16

In this section Jesus teaches the crowd about being the light of the world and the salt of the world.  Jesus says that a city on a hill cannot be hidden and people do not set a candle under a bowl.  I think that this means if we are believers than we need to act like belivers and not hide or pretend not to be.  In the last part of the section Jesus tells us to let our light shine before men.  This is really obvious that God wants us to minister to others and give glory to God.

my thoughts about halloween

I do not think that halloween is bad sure we got it from the pagans but we got christmas from them to.  I do think however, that we do need to be careful because it is a holiday that some people use to as the article says "use witchcraft and stuff".  So I guess halloween is another one of those things that you have to look at from your perspective either its this terrible day when people go worship demons or a day when some kids want to go get some candy.  I myself will be one of the kids trying to go get candy.

My Experienc At The Special Olympics

Today we went to the bowling ally to help with the special olympics.  At first I was kind of nervous and then when I found out that we each had four people I got even more nervous.  At the beginning I was quite but later on I got comfortable around them.  All the guys in my group were really funny ,especially one man named Chip, I just had to relax and talk to them.  It was amazing to see them just bowl  and have fun and they were actually really good at bowling some of them bowled better than I can. One man named Richard got three strikes in a row and a whole lot of spares.
   I really felt like I was making a difference in their day by just giving them a compliment and talking to them.  I really felt good when I gave them compliments especially Richard who would always get a huge smile on his face when I told him that he was doing a great job.  Also whenever I would clap for Chip he would smile and clap to.  I also felt bad because I complain a lot but I havn't had life as hard as these guys. Throughout the day I had a ton of fun and I really wish that we could go back and help again or just be able to see and talk to the guys in my group again and go talk to the other people in Special olympics.
