So 1 Corinthians 1:4 it says that the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus. does that mean that the grace of God is always give by Christ Jesus? Does Jesus give people grace?
1 Corinthians 1:12-13 - Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
This says that there is only one God and that's our Holy Father in Heaven. Those people like Paul who does miracles that's not of them that comes from God. I think this verse says that there are a lot of people out there that will and are believing that people like Paul are a God or Saint and I don't think that is a right thing to say cause they are not God there is only One God.
1 Corinthians 1:17 - "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect."
I really like this verse it stood out to me and I look at this verse and it show that the things we do today might not be the reason why Christ sent us on earth to do. I do stuff like mess around, have irrelevant parties, go someplace and do nothing but talk about how the teachers are messed up and how mistakes i do in school are counted against you in a grade point of view. God didn't give us a life to do this stuff. I mean school is good, i mean it's good to have an education, but spending how much of your life to school is good? Don't make school a top priority.
1 Corinthians 1:25 - "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
This is also a good verse I liked this verse cause it show how much God is better than us and how we don't deserve God yet God wants to be with us. This verse also makes me think; is God foolish? Does God have a weakness? it shows that the foolishness of God is wiser than men. by men I think any man, male or female, that just a little bit of foolishness of God... is wiser than the wisest of wise men. and God's weakness....is stronger than men. even the world's strongest man alive or ever doesn't even compare to a speck of God's weakness.
This is how like no one even compares to me and Jeff's chugging skills. Some call us the titans of chugging. it's like that times infinity.
This is the start of a new beginning I believe. I think the youth group just got into a whole new level that we have not even heard of. and i pray that we are ready for this level. i pray that we know how to respond to situations that comes in our way. i pray that the grace of God pours down on us and that so much of it comes that we drown in it and that it's overwhelming. I pray that we help each other along the way and leave no one behind. i know that it gets hard sometimes to even notice that people are gasping for breath from behind because we get all caught up with this worldly ambitions. i pray that do overcome this and that we definitly do not panic to the point that we lose faith in you Lord. I pray that you watch over us even though some of us is no together in one building, but is around the state. pray that you give healing to anyone who is in need of it Lord. I pray all of this in Jesus name. Amen.

hey dude, i like how you did this. the format (writing the verses and then writing about them and then the prayer at the end). what you wrote on 17 and 25...was really good. i hadn't thought of some of what you said. i thought it was good. and i laughed when you talked about being a titan of chugging.
i agree totally. i hope our youth group as a whole steps up and embraces God whole-heartedly. it would be so sweet if our whole youth group just changed dramatically for good. as a youth group, we need to love each other and build each other up. i hope we all do this and grow closer to God daily. sometimes its hard to feel You like in school. i pray that we all pull through and become warriors for Christ.
