Friars and Nuns
Ok ok, so it's been a while since we've blogged, but it's been kind of hectic.
Do you ever get those days where you just want to sit and do nothing....I mean absolutely do nothing. Well, I keep on having those days. Maybe it's because of the lack of sleep. This is why you guys should sleep while you are young. Especially some of you guys out there that don't sleep until 3:00am!! CRAZY!! I'm not going to name any names though (cough cough....). I can't stress the importance of sleep while you guys are in school. It really helps you think. SERIOUSLY!!
So this Friday (hehe...today) is Friars and Nuns. It starts at 7:30 at the church. So bring your friends and the girls are going to do their thang...and boys will do their manly boys stuff....hahaha.
I don't know how many of you guys read this, but this blog was supposed to be a discussion board as well. You guys can comment questions and stuff like that, and we would try our best to answer them.
David asked me a good question the other day. He asked where you would draw the line if you were a police officer and a christian. He gave an example of if the police caught someone speeding, do they still give them the ticket? or do they forgive them and let them go??
Well, in the Bible, it specifically instructs us to submit to higher authorities because they have been created by God, so in other words, the police are there to keep the peace, so you still have to obey all the rules.
Let's take a look at Romans 13
Romans 13
Submission to the Authorities
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Does everyone understand??
So basically.....listen to the police! :)
Does anyone else have any questions??? C'mon....we're ready for them.
"Did you know that there's a song called Tell the World??" -> hahahaha....it still makes me crack up....sorry!!
You GUYS ROCK!
See you tonight at 7:30pm
