Hi SumGI, I had to post this new post because there is a bug in CCN that doesnt allow any one to reply to some threads.

How do I do this? I've reached a state of neutrality in everything I say...meaning I don't EVER mention GOD, JESUS, BIBLE. It really makes me sad how afraid I am of saying I'm a Christian. I think I need to actually TELL everone now...starting with people on my bus...I don't like the swearing, I don't like the things said there...They have no idea what I think.

It's worst, as an overlooked side effect of being neutral, when I say something that contradicts what I believe...I ABSOLUTELY HATE HOW I HAVE THE HABIT OF SAYING F*** WHEN I'M UPSET, OR IN CASUAL TALKING ON THE BUS...COME ON!

Really, I don't think I've ever been used to help bring someone to GOD...

I just realized something...When I was running the school store today, one kid I kinda knew joked about giving me an evangelical "milleon dollar bill" he had, I had one of those in my pocket to give to someone at school...
...
...AHHHHHHH! PRAY FOR ME TO GET SOME COURAGE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!


We share similar feelings, I don't like the swearing either. What I know now is that he witnessing happens from love. There is no fear in perfect love so let's pray for that! Just don't let the people upset you, ok.

God bless.

Hi, SumGI,

I'm from Montana, too. I know how it can be--there's not a lot of alternatives if a person doesn't fit in socially.

Here's some scripture: All of creation waits eagerly for the Sons of God to be revealled.

It means that people are in need of hearing the Gospel. I used to think that it was something I HAD to do. But the truth is, people NEED to hear it. Remember that they will have negative responses--some will never accept what you have to say. But there are others, just like you, who wish they could stop doing the things that they're doing. They're crying out for God on the inside, but they can't open their mouths on the outside. They're just like you, except they don't even have Jesus.

God says: Be very brave and courageous...I am with you...
Ezekial: If I tell you to tell someone something and you do it, you will not be held accountable, even if they don't do what I tell them. But if you don't tell them, then you will be held accountable.

There's lots of scriptures to meditate on. But the Word needs to be spoken, too. Practice speaking out the Word. Read the Bible out loud every day to yourself. When you pray, pray every morning--pray out loud and pray out scripture.

Hope it helps. I'll include you in my prayers tomorrow.

Ah, thanks guys, I tried to edit my thread because it looks like it's in the wrong section. And I can't fiure out how to PM a mod >_<
Ah, well between then and now I sent an E-mail to my pastor and talked with my parents about it. I also remembered two weeks ago I wished I had my Bible AT SCHOOL IN CLASS. So I put one of my Bibles IN my backpack so if I ever really wish I had it, I will.

So someone who also lives in Montana, I live near Missoula Montana, and go to school there at the school called Hellgate Highschool...pretty Democratic here, which a Christian can be a Democrat, just there are WAY more Republicans who are Christian.

Well, thanks again guys, Is that a typical 4th post?

It is pretty cold, but since I live in Western montana in the mountains, only at about 2000 feet I think, The wind isn't as bad usually. I don't mind just plain cold, but add wind and AHHHHH. That's why I didn't like living in Southern Idaho, too flat, windy, and cold at the same time...and I think I was allergic to sagebrush 0_0
