I have always come back to the three words, hope, wait, and overcome. This is what I am doing and going to do. I think about sin and how real it is. I realize a lot of sin begins at school. Some of my elementary school friends were like my “best buddies”. Now my best buddies are cursing and sining like crazy. I am just sick of it and had to say something. But the thing is, is that its easier to type it then to say it. And their’s another thing, these dumb “relationships”, they cause problems they don’t work out and then, one day later, their’s a ”couple” again. all it is is date and dump, mostly through the phone. Fights start for no reason except for going out with their ex. Which supposedly broke that person’s heart. This guy in gym class that sits beside me is so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. He is all “cool”. We’ll be doing a health sheet and he’ll just say, “why we got to do this if I ain’t even drug free?”. He talk to me and be so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and say in such a dumb way, “You need to come to my house and will get high”, And I’m like ,”seriously I am not doing that you gotta annoy someone else”. I did feel bad saying that, but at the same time proud of myself. I believe it’s a call for help or something. But sometimes we get caught up in sin and just can’t take it any more and cry. Sin can be overwhelming and can be bad, But I think it’s time for our, and mine, Turning Point.
Romans 6
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ,says:
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 6For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. 14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Thank God for forgiveness!
