Zombie PicklesYou know it took me forever to figure out that your profile pic was a cello. Haha. I t hought it was a paper towel dispenser. lol. Anyway..... just wanted to say hi........
GenTLEmEn01haha Im pretty sure that a lot of people have been confused by my picture. Being a cello player I can only see the cello. It actually wasnt meant to be an "eye teaser," but there have been plenty of people who cant see it.

SarahNo one is perfect. We all fall. you will never be perfect until you reach heaven; its humanly impossible. However, we can strive for perfection as much as we are able.

O.0Hiya GenTIEmEn01, I just read your bio, and I just wanted to say whats on my heart! God is FULLY satisfied with you. Were not perfect, He knows that, and He knows that sin has totally ruined us. Adam and Eve disobeyed, now we all have to deal with sin in our lives and often times we choose to sin and regret that. But God didnt give up, He died for us and wants us back. And He will totally, completely, grow you in Him deep deep roots! The more you spend time with God the more youll learn from Him and grow in Him! We wont be perfect until we get to heaven, when sin is gone for good. But until then, you have the most AMAZING loving God in the WHOLE UNIVERSE (well, ok, only God, actually haha.. think of that!) But I dunno, I guess I just wanted to say that cause I often times get down when I think about all the wrong stuff Ive done, and I feel SO BAD because Im like, dude, God DIED for me, and here I am messing up you think I could do better! But God totally understands, and He knows we try. You havent rejected Him and He loves you because of that (He also loves you cause He made you for Him)! Anywho :) You have all my encouragement and Gods encouragement and your family-in-Christs encouragement to move His kingdom for Him! God bless!! :D

GenTLEmEn01dude thank you so much! That cleared the fog and opened my eyes a lot. Ive been studying Gods love for us is and I cant even comprehend half of it b/c it just flat out blows my mind. Man this sounds weird but I cant wait to get to heaven. I want to satisfy him so bad b/c I dont deserve the life I have.

O.0:D haha, I havent shared this with many people, but sometimes God gives me like, well, I guess they are visions. I love telling people what God showed me cause the messages are amazing, but sometimes I hate mentioning it cause often times people are like "whooooo, you had a VISION" and I"m like, youre missing the point..the point isnt VISION, the point is MESSAGE FROM GOD!! lol but... I had this thing from God once... and it practically made me cry. I saw a person.. nothing defined, was more like a silhouette of a person. But here was this person, I presumed it was me or anyone Christian. And there was this glowing white thing inside of this person. It was sorta like a slate, or imagine something you write on. It was glowing white. And because sin was present, this white glowing thing inside was completely ruined, just totally stained and bloody. And before I saw all this I was thinking about how I view myself, And i had been thinking of how messed up I am, and that really brings me down when I think about it. Its so sad. But anyway, then I saw that this glowing white thing was completely cleaned off cause of God forgiving me. But then, and I cant even describe how GOd made me feel in this moment, but I God came to my right side, like he was hovering over my right shoulder, over this silhouette of mine (or any Christian) and He smiled. And the message He told me was that this is how GOD sees me, this is how God sees His children. Its easy for us to look at our sin and then imagine how God thinks of us, but God was reassuring me that He sees me FAR different from the way I tend to view myself, and FAR different then the way I often think God thinks of me. And I cant even describe how I felt when I saw like, God smile once He showed me the glowing white thing cleaned and He showed me that that is how HE views me. Anywho, was really cool :) And a really good thing to remember, cause its so hard to remember how He views us, its far easier to know and remember how we view ourselves or how we THINK God views us :) But it is SO freeing when we understand how God views us and it helps us also better understand Him and His character! But N e who, God bless!! Keep strong in the Lord :) haha :D

J MThanks for a while I thought I was the only one that thought that was on here lol
I have been playing football for 3 years, I'm starting on my high school team on special teams and as a cornerback. My question to all of you guys is why am I like the only christian on my team? Where are all the christians in football? I've noticed it's not just my school, but it's every school and it's obvious besides Tim Tebow, there aren't really many big Christian men in the NFL. So..can someone explain why this is?
Well, I'm a sophomore and so far I don't really like my year. One of the only things I like is that my teachers/friends are pretty nice and I like my Multimedia class. During my freshman year my grades were just okay and I passed them all. So far this year I had about two F's and my grades are going down. I don't really want to graduate high school. I mean, I know I should but I've been thinking about it and I haven't really accomplished anything in high school so far and I really don't see any point of graduating. Even if I do graduate, I know I'm not getting much awards and it's going to disappoint my parents. My dad would always tell me I don't care about my family, I have embarrassing grades, and I am always being rude even though they let me go to church etc...
I really don't want to graduate but I can still have some jobs with a high school diploma, right?
I think you're undervaluing yourself. If you want to be successful, YOU CAN BE. My advice for you would be to not give up and to set higher goals. My story is similar, but a different chapter. I'm also a sophomore in high school. My dad is obsessive about football and I wanted to go out for the team this year. I'm 5'6 and 135lbs. Not a big guy by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone told me I wasn't big enough and no one had faith in me. I kept on messing up in practice and I felt like a complete failure and I settled for being on the team. Until 3 weeks before the 1st game I prayed to God that I can do all things through christ who strengthens me and if it was his will for me to play ball, let me be all I can be and glorify him in my efforts. I started the entire season at multiple positions, am team captain and defensive MVP. The reason I told you that was to encourage you that me, a 5'6 135lbs kid who everyone told couldn't do it and kept screwing up had success through Christ. YOU CAN DO IT!
It's a story of how I met this Christian guy, but he has a really good heart and is bold enough to share his faith to others. He did that to me. He's one of the greatest Christians I know. When I first talked to him, I was just so touched. Not only do I love his heart and love for God, he was just so unique from any other boy I had a crush on. From the time I first talked to him, I thought about him everyday that came next. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I remember there were months that came when I wondered how he was doing and if I was ever going to see him again.
Is this okay? I never liked any other boy they way I liked him. Some friends from my church told me that I should let him go and try to stop thinking about him. Is it okay to have a crush on this boy? Should I stop thinking about him?
totally agree with josebloodbought. It's natural to like someone a lot, but just try to just as zombie pickles said, not be obsessive. Do not confuse emfatuation (sp?) with love.
My name is Matt and I'm new to C28, Something I wanted to ask the guys on here, I've had a lot of problems with porn in the past. I was wondering what are some suggestions of things to do when I have the urge to look at it, besides Praying, what are some things I could do to help resist the urge to look.
I agree with daniel@seekGodnow.org- the actual problem is usually with your relationship with Christ. Which is why I suggested reading the bible, praying and changing your music you listen to.
There is much talk about if it is right or wrong. I am very much so pro-life. I am 15 years old and I have devoted my life to this cause. However, I am at a loss of how to abolish this. I am willing and ready to give my youth and health for this cause. I need input on practical ways to ABOLISH abortion for good.
The big catch for me is that who in their right mind has the audacity to think they have the right to claim when an unborn baby becomes human. Sounds a lot like playing God and if I was in your shoes in the end times I would be scared.
When I told my friend from church about how I would sometimes watch horror movies, she told me that I should be careful and demons can try to do some things through horror movies. When I watched a movie called Teeth, I had disturbing images in my mind. My friend said that there are lust spirits in those kind of movies, and it's not good to have too much fear.
Can anyone tell me what are some bad things that can happen when I watch horror movies? I've watched a lot. Even though I'm 15, even when I was younger I would watch movies like Saw or movies part of the Horrorfest collection. I would have all these gruesome images of blood and feel scared. I just want to ask, is it true that demons can do things to us through horror movies?
Jennica, I used to watch horror movies. and after I watched one of them in particular I did notice a certain..presence in my house that wasn't there before hand. I think it was because I watched it in my basement under my parent's noses and I wasn't allowed to see it. In any case, it's not a for sure answer that if you ever watch anything scary satan is going to be sleeping in your room. However, it isn't a smart decision. Demons are real and are not something to be tampered with. The power of Christ is far greater though. I have cast whatever it was out of my house with the name of Christ.
ok so about half of my friends are gay and most of them are christians what are your thoughts on this?
and where in the bible does it say being gay is wrong because i cant find it
it is one thing to be gay and proud. It is another to be gay and struggling. Some people were born with this challenge more than others. Being gay is biblically wrong, but we are not to automatically assume that if someone has any kind of same-sex attraction that they are going to hell. We should be more helpful to gay people in the church in trying to bring them to Christ rather than making fun and damning them to hell. I am not gay. However, i do know of people that are. I'd also like to throw out that we can't simply tell gay people to "not be gay." It's like saying for guys not to be attracted to girls. We should strive to be people who are helping gay people to abstain from acting their attractions.
ok so this year i am turning 16 and my parents agreed that i can get a tattoo if it is apropriate and is in an apropriate place.
im thinking of getting diamonds and the verse mathew 19:21 near my hipbone so you can see it when im in my bathing suit but not any other time that way it wont get in the way of me getting a job or something.
but i was wondering what the bible says about tattoos or if it says anything at all
i knows some churches look at it as wrong and some dont and i dont know whether they just dont want people to have the wrong image or if there is actual scripture on it.
My brother got a tattoo. He got a big ST on his back which stands for "strong tower," meaning Christ. The reason I tell u that is to try and get a tattoo if you do happen to decide to get one that is clearly pointing to Christ. Pretty much all of my life I have wanted to get a tatoo, because it is not biblically wrong and those who say it is are taking verses out of context. However, having said that I don't think I will get one simply because though they look awesome, and a lot of times can look sexy, they are degrading on some level. Just because the reason u get a tattoo is because u want to improve ur look to some degree (there are special situations where that isn't the case) but in most cases the look of it is a big factor. So a better question might be 'are you ok with the way you look?' just something to think about. I know that I used to think about the way I looked a lot, being a body builder. I try to keep things in perspective now.
