Hey everyone,

      I just got back from church camp and it was great. Bro.Bill Brit was superb. You probably won't hear much better preachin anywhere else. Many people started there relationships with God, rededicated their lives and surrendered to the ministry. But, you know how most church camps are. You get fired up about God for a week or two but realy don't have a passion for Him. Well, I think that revival is gona start. We (the youth of the century) are gona step it up and see revival. We need prayer wariors who will step up to the call and pray for revival. For the men: we need to step it up and be the men of our housholds, and not let the women have to do it all alone. I keep sayin this but I believe that once the men get right with God than we can see revival. For the women: Today in our society the woman most of the time tend to be the spiritual leaders in the house. But in other cases many women are insecure, low self-esteemed, inmodest, and ungodly. For revival to start the women must surrender everything that they have to Jesus and be willing to give Him all that they have.

I believe that revival will come only if we become broken over our sin and repent, turning to our God and from our wickidness. Yes wickidness. You may say your a good person, but God says that our righteosness is as filthy rags to a holy and righteous God. We are wicked, and if we don't admit it and change from our ways than we will never see revival. The church must get right first. I don't like to sound like I am shoving God down your throat. Don't get mad at me. The Lord is a Jealous God. Fear Him. He wants your all. Am I scaring anyone. I hope so, because the world is rapidly declining, teens at my school are drinking, takin drugs and partying all the time and are trying to make themselves happy, but they can't. Only Jesus Christ can make you truly Joyfull. The Lord is alsome and can and will do a marvelous work in the world if we are willing to obey. Trust and Obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

I know this is long, but I'm really excited. I met a French lady who is in her 70's or 80's yesterday. Wess Pierce and I were out visiting people and at first she did'nt seem like she wanted us to come in. But she did. We told her that  we were in the neighborhood taking some opinion poles for our church(First Baptist Swartz). She told us that we would'nt like her answers. I asked her the first question which was "do you attend church anywhere and if so where?" She said no and told me that she was agnostic. That means that she only believes in things that she can see. I kept tryin to help her to understand and she did admire me for it, but she wouldn't believe because Satin has blinded her eyes from seeing the truth. Unbelievers think that we are fools because Satin has blinded them from seeing God. And right when you say "I am not blinded by Satin, I'm happy". That's when he's got you.

Ask yourself this question. Are you blinded by Satin? Even Christians can be blinded. Check out Romans 1. Do you want revival? I hope so because the Lord wants to change this nation for the GOOD and He loves us so much. Are you willing to change? Do you want it(revival)? God's word says " Ask and you will recieve, Seek and you will find, Knock and the door will be open to you." Even though all of this came across harsh I don't regret it because we have been living in sin far long eneough and many of us are slaves to it. I love each and everyone of you. Don't let the world see Christians as hypocrites. I hate that. If God is realy in you than He can make you radical followers of Him. I have one more question and then I'm done. Are you willing to change?

   Ok, Here I go,

          I go to OCS with a lot of different kinds of people and am very concerned about the spiritual well being of our Generation. There are 3 different kinds of people that I come in contact with every day. 1st type- The people who "say" they're Christians and don't care to act like one or obey Gods' word.. Jesus Himself says in John 14:15 that " If you love me you will keep my commandments." 2cd type- The people that are at least honest enough to admit that they're not following Jesus. At least they're honest, BUT Gods' word does say in Proverbs 16:24 that "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it is the way of death." 3rd- The people that say that they're Christians and Live Out their walk with Jesus, obeying His commands and having a real, personal relationship with Him. In John 14:23 Jesus  says "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him." My heart is burdened for those who do not put God first in their Lives and for those without a relationship with Him. Jesus loves all three groups of people, but only those that have a true relationship with Jesus will be with Him in the end. Gods' word says in Luke 11:23 that "Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters." Which one are you?

The baseball game was pretty bad today because we lost 2 games. I warmed the bench today, but i did warm up people .I love baseball and we will get a lot better. Wer'e really a good team, we just had a bad day.

I have been reading a lot in Proverbs and Corinthians the last couple weeks and the Lord has been teaching me a lot about wisdom, and the different kinds of wisdom. I want to learn and am striving to grow closer to God each and every day. A lot of people I know think that they're wise, and they are in their eyes, but God says that true wisdom is from the Lord. " The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10. Proverbs 3:7 says " Don't consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.:" I love Proverbs! Like I said before, you can know a lot, but until you understand the fear of God and apply His principles to your life you won't understand what TRUE wisdom is.. Ask Him for it. Luke 11:9-10 says "So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. keep searching, and you will find. keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks recieves, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
