From TJ Green:
Ok, As I get ready for a two-day fall break and senior skip day this coming week, I just wanted to reflect on the last three weeks…
Less than two weeks ago, Catoosa County Schools banned signs with Bible verses on them, to be shown by students at (school functions) mainly, football games. I don’t think that the reason the students are fighting the ban are because of the signs, but for our faith, freedom of speech and religion.
Last Wednesday my youth group went to a church service that was in support of the students that have stood up for their faith and for their right’s. There were people from many of the local high schools, a student that does not even go to LFO, that spoke that night said “IT’S NOT YOUR SCHOOL, MY SCHOOL. IT’S MY GOD, YOUR GOD”.
I think that it’s about time for us as Christians to “Get Out There” and tell them what the LORD has done. As I was deciding on a song to sing tonight at church, my phone started to play Chris Hester’s song “Get Out There”, so I pulled the song up on iTunes and played the song and listened to the message.
The song says…“So get out there and tell them of the power of GOD , and HIS mighty word can do. Get out there and tell them of HIS healing power, and how he rescued you. Don’t wait till the next time, because the next time may never come.”
I was on the road with Johnathan & Ginger (Young Harmony), and saw first hand the meaning of that song, and that all you have to do is trust the LORD and just “GET OUT THERE” and share to others what the lord has done for you. I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes we don’t show our faith at school and around our friends because we are afraid of what people think. The way I think about it is, that you can show your faith like the students who made the signs and get out there or sit back and do nothing. I choose to get out there, what about you?
- As I started writing this I just going to write about what has happened in my life the past three weeks, I guess this is what I really wanted to talk about. LOL
