On Justin Bieber

So first off, I AM NOT A JUSTIN BIEBER FAN! Kapeesh?

Now I'm going to show you some things, remember your reaction.




What was your reaction to those? I bet you laughed didn't you.

Now think about this. Go back and read those, and instead of Justin Bieber's face and name, put in your own. After you laugh at yourself, think about if everyone was posting these things about you, and worse things too. All The Time.

Fit in your own name, "This is why I hate ______ ..." "_______ is so stupid. He/she looks and sings like the opposite gender."

Now I'm not going to go and point fingers in anybody's face. And I'll admit, I've laughed at and made my own jokes about Justin Bieber. But my conscience has been bugging me a lot lately, and I've been thinking. Doesn't the Bible say to love even your enemies. Justin Bieber isn't even an enemy, just an annoying and lost singer, shouldn't I love and be praying for him too?

So he's a celebrity, he's a human being too, he has feelings and emotions, and the things we say affect him just as much as they would affect you. We can't brush aside the fact that when we joke about Justin Bieber or any other celebrity that we are bullying. I bet you never thought of yourself as a bully, I never thought of myself as one either till now.

Guys, when you see that Justin Bieber has done something wrong, making fun of him isn't going to help, it's only going to make the matter worse. Why do you think he's choosing to do the wrong thing? Because everyone loves him? No, because he's trying to get away from all the bad talk, and "harmless" jokes, and critics, but just ends up digging himself deeper. Instead of helping him find his way to sure doom, we need to pray that he straightens his life out, that he finds God as his rock, and we need to try to encourage him to go the right way.

I'm not saying we all need to listen to 'Baby' all the time. Or become 'Beliebers'. But just let everyone know that you are not going to join in the bullying anymore. :)

Do you have any thoughts to share on this?

How does He know?

In the Disney movie "Enchanted" there is a song called, "How Does She Know?" about how does the guys girlfriend know he loves her? Does he send her flowers or write her love notes?

But how does God know we love Him? Of course He can see everyone's hearts, but do we actually outwardly show we love Him?

God asks for our all. All of our love, our time, our lives. So if we're really doing that, shouldn't it show?
God loves us, but the Bible says, "Faith without works is dead." Let our actions show everyone that we are Christians.

It is a privilege to be called a Christian, so don't act as if it is a burden or something you should be ashamed of, wear it, speak it, and live it. :) God didn't save us so we could continue on the way we where. He did it for His own glory and because He loves us.

The Proof of Your Love by For King and Country

If I sing but don't have love
I waste my breath with every song
I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise
If I speak with a silver tongue
Convince a crowd but don't have love
I leave a bitter taste with every word I say

So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love

If I give
To a needy soul but don't have love then who is poor?
It seems all the poverty is found in me

So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
Oh, let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love

When it's all said and done
When we sing our final song
Only love remains
Only love remains

Let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love



 This song is one of my favorites. It reminds me that no matter what I do or say, I need to be doing it for God. Even if I found a cure for cancer, but did it for my own fame and glory, then it would be as if I did nothing. Sure, God would still use it, but He wouldn't be proud of me for doing it.
When we do things for God on the other hand, He will bless it and it will make Him happy. Like a little child who brings their messy pictures or creations to their daddy, when we do things for God it won't matter how small it might seem, He cherishes it more than an offering of $100 in His name. :)

P.S. Sorry this is late and sorry it's been so long. I'll be getting back on schedule now.
