Hey guys, I have been slacking off some, but now we will get back on track! No videotions today, since PL is in RI, and I haven't learned from him how to do it.
Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The reason why I brought this section of Romans 1 in was because of what was in there. Look at the list of horrible, discusting, sins that are there. They look bad don't they? Look what other sin is stuck in there. Disobedient to parents.
Usually we get the preception that all of those sins except disobedient to parents are REALLY BAD, like we will go to super hell bad thing, but the truth of the matter is, disobeying your parents is just as bad. Reason why we think disobeying our parents isn't as bad as the others there, is because in our sinful minds, we like to justify whatevdr we do, into thinking its okay. NO, IT IS NOT OKAY!! Why do we disobey them somethimes? They do everything for us! Feed us, buy us clothes, let us live in a house with them, the list goes on baby....
If your parent(s) is in your sight right now, ditch your pride, and tell them your sorry for anything you did against them, and just for the sake of Christ, I am going to call my mom and tell her I'm sorry too!

Hey guys! I am excited about getting back online. I have missed you guys! I have some ideas on how we can make this big again. I will share them in the next few days...
I have been so inspired by your faithfulness! Keep up the good work! Always stay faithful! Regardless what other people around you are doing (or not doing)!
Proverbs 6
Warnings Against Adultery
20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
24 to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
26 For the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
27 Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
31 but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
32 He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
33 He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
35 He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
This is a powerful verse about how terrible it is to lose your purity in adultery... the interesting fact is that adultery is generally speaking about only married people, but the root word that is translated into adultery here in this chapter literally means any kind of sexual sin...
We must avoid sexual sin, whether it is with a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a website, a thought in our mind... any of these are areas where we can horbor sexual sin, and this chapter makes it clear that IT WILL DESTROY OUR LIFE!!!
There is a lesson at the very beginning that I love, it makes it clear that we must tie Gods truth around our neck so that we do not forget about it... now that is not literally, it is an illustration...
HAve you ever heard of the boy who tied a string to his finger to remember to buy something at the store for his mother? He knew that he would forget, but he also knew that He would look down at his hand and see the string as a reminder... Maybe you should write one of these verses on a note card and keep it in your pocket for a few days!! That would be a great way to "Tie Gods truth around your neck" :)
Love you guys! Stay Faithful!!!

Hey guys! some of you may be out of school, and just wait for me!!!
Proverbs 6
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
2 if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-
11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
12 A scoundrel and villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13 who winks with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers,
14 who plots evil with deceit in his heart— he always stirs up dissension.
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
I have ben looking all over the bible to find the 7 deadly sins! Well, technically God hates all of them, but these 7 He hates with a passion. Before I talk about that, I want to mention the first few verses, mostly 4.
What it is telling us is whenever you do something evil to a neighbor, (can be anyone you know well) you shouldn't go to bed, and have the situation unresolved. Usually when my mom and I have a small fight, I don't apologize right when she is mad and yelling, I wait for her to cool off. Then I usually say sorry before bed, I just don't like the thought of not apologizing to a close friend or relative. They could be an enemy, and you want as many allies as you can get.
The first deadly sin is the only one that got me confused. I think it basically means God doesn't want you to be prideful of yourself, because it will lead you into thinking the same way Lucifer did, because if there were to be a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst sin, pride would be a 10.
The second deadly sin is lying. Now, on that scale, I would say lying to be about a 2, but lying could lead to a buildup of more and more lies, and eventually it comes to exploding into a super million lies, and forms to one big lie, and now, that person you lied to a million times can no longer trust you, will never know if you are telling the truth now.
The third deadly sin is someone who kills another without reason. Murder is what some call it. Why do people kill innocent people? the main answer it comes down to: to fulfill their own needs! Mob leaders kill dudes on the street because that person could be a witness in court, so now the gang leader has a decreased chance of going to prison, therefore, happy for HIMSELF! Murder on scale would be a 9.
The fourth deadly sin is someone who makes evil plans. You see things like this on some disney movies, bad guys want to take over the world, and need to make a evil plan to eliminate his and his cohort's foes. It happens in real life too, not just in movies! on scale would be a 7.
The fifth deadly sin is feet that run to evil. What this is saying is people like to follow the world into evil deeds. That could be just walking and randomly punching someone in the face, giving them the choke hold, or more better example would just basically be people following the crowd into what may be pleasurable, but turn out not so. This one was a little confusing to explain too. Give this a 6.
The sixth deadly sin is a person that preaches blasphemy, or doctrinal lies against God's word. I would have to give this one an 8, since preaching against God's truth is dragging people away from Christ, and pulling them to the depths of hell.
The seventh deadly sin is someone who likes to stir up trouble with people you know, or maybe even with unknown folks. This one I think whould be about a 3 and a half, but doing this could lead to who can now trust you in your life, similar to the trust issue I talked about in the lying paragraph.
Always remember that God puts every sin as a 10 on His scale, and EVERY SIN IS DEADLY, LITERRALLY!

Hello =] I just wanted to say that I really needed to hear the message yesterday because people at school were really getting to me this past couple of weeks, and I was just realizing especially recently how low the world's morals are becoming...so yeah I really liked yesterday's lesson.
Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
I suppose this sort of relates to yesterday's message in youth group, although I was just continuing off of what Michael posted...
Well I'm not entirely sure what this passage is implying or what its meaning is, but I read the commentary from biblegateway.com so it makes a little more sense. but I have to go make dinner now so I'll just paste it here lol. However, I colored the parts that really stood out to me that made me understand the passage more. Soo...if you really feel like reading all this, you may! :P
"Solomon cautions all young men, as his children, to abstain from fleshly lusts. Some, by the adulterous woman, here understand idolatry, false doctrine, which tends to lead astray men's minds and manners; but the direct view is to warn against seventh-commandment sins. Often these have been, and still are, Satan's method of drawing men from the worship of God into false religion. Consider how fatal the consequences; how bitter the fruit! Take it any way, it wounds. It leads to the torments of hell. The direct tendency of this sin is to the destruction of body and soul. We must carefully avoid every thing which may be a step towards it. Those who would be kept from harm, must keep out of harm's way. If we thrust ourselves into temptation we mock God when we pray, Lead us not into temptation. How many mischiefs attend this sin! It blasts the reputation; it wastes time; it ruins the estate; it is destructive to health; it will fill the mind with horror. Though thou art merry now, yet sooner or later it will bring sorrow. The convinced sinner reproaches himself, and makes no excuse for his folly. By the frequent acts of sin, the habits of it become rooted and confirmed. By a miracle of mercy true repentance may prevent the dreadful consequences of such sins; but this is not often; far more die as they have lived. What can express the case of the self-ruined sinner in the eternal world, enduring the remorse of his conscience!"

Hey guys, make sure you are at church tonight for a great game and sermon from Pastor Lee!
Proverbs 4
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Another great passage from the Word of God! Verse 7 stuck out the most along with verse 15. Verse 7 is stressing to us that wisdom is an important quality to have! Have you ever heard of the saying, "Knowledge is power?" I'm sure everyone has, and its so true! You could be the most powerful person in the world if you're some skinny kid from Queens, but be the most intelligent person the world has ever seen!
Another good saying that kinda sidetrakes that is if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. The reason you may stand for nothing is because you aren't smart enough to realize the good outcomes that could come from someone having morals! Knowledge is more powerful than any comic book hero, any bodybuilder, any weightlifting champ, or even a government official!!!!
Verse 15 caught my attention as well because it tells us to go away from evil things, not stand there and take the abuse and say you can handle it, because that fact of the matter is, you can't! Trust me, I have tried that. It doesn't work!! A famous quote I heard was,
"Someone you can never deny of, is someone who has had experience."
Do you know who said that quote? Well, it was me ,Michael Stratton of course!
Never hang out with ungodly people, and obtain wisdom!!!!
