Fungus!!! weeeEE!

Hi peeps! Fungus is cool :) Just to remind you, u dun need to wait for big events like camp or Planetshakers for God to do something in your life. He can change you even on weekly FUngus or church, and even at home! wow! Our god is an awesome God! He is still there wherever you are.

I was looking forward to yesterday's Fungus. I was expecting God to somehow move in our lives. I hope that even at a common, weekly Fungus, you will never walk out as the same person. Even if u just change a tiny bit, that is still better than nothing. I reckon what makes a youth-group/ church great is not how holy they are, but how much they can change in their lives.

Unfortunately I was kinda sick again yesterday =.=" It was a little hard to stay concentrated during worship, cause I was feeling pretty tired... But, I remembered that I can still worship him at home, and in other ways such as the life I am living. I reckon actions are more powerful than words. I know how many people say in those worship songs like "Lord, nothing else could ever take your place", but when they live their life, computers for example control them, thus making it more important than God. I must shamefully admit I have been in that situation a couple of times.

Yesterday we learnt about i think "Dirty little secrets". The most common secrets at our age i reckon is porn, lies, alcohol and smoking. We kinda also had a discussion about lies. I used to lie to my parents sometimes, but now I realize it is better to tell the truth.

I used to have computer/games limits; half an hour each day. I sometimes went over my limit and lied to my parents that I kept within my allowance. If I exceeded my allowed time, I would be punished. The reasons why we shouldn't lie are; even though our parents might never find out, God always knows. And secondly, I believe that God rewards us for our honesty and truthfulness, and numerous times when I admitted I had disobeyed my parents, they said it didn't matter, and did not apply any punishments. God is great! Remember, always tell the truth.

And with secrets.... if u keep a secret sin to yourself that you are constantly doing, it is not a good situation to be in. Firstly, even if it is a small, innocent sin, it will lead to a bigger problem, and get worse. If you let someone know about it, they can be there for u and remind u not to do that anymore. It is always good to have a friend that cares for you, and is constantly watching out for u.

I was reading the bible last night, and stumbled across a particularly important thing. Did you know that the devil is always trying to destroy our lives? He is not some weak noob, but he is actually pretty strong. He does things like tempting us to do wrong, and encouraging sinful ways. Luckily, we have a god who is stronger than him, and can help us resist temptation to sin.

The devil doesn't bother some Christians. Like those believers that go along with the crowd and keep quiet about their relationship with Jesus. Those who go and share their faith with others are the ones who get persecuted. Maybe start witnessing to your friends, and inviting them to Fungus? There is a pretty high chance you will face opposition, but that tells you that you are annoying the devil, meaning that you are a spiritual success!

Don't be discouraged if things go terribly wrong in your life, cause God walks with you the whole way. He won't let anything really bad happen to you; but he allows Satan to tempt you and do bad things to you, only to a certain extent though. Get out there and tell the world about the awesome free gift of salvation and be prepared to get persecuted! Get closer to god, and he will protect you wherever you are!

God bless guys!
