I was at Church this morning. It was very interesting. I got challenged by my pastor to proclaim my religion some how. What better way to do that than on my blog? It's made for your opinion and thoughts. So I don't know how to exactly "proclaim" it other than saying "I'm a Christian". The most toughest part of his challenge was how I would say it. It's not like I'm shy of saying it, it's just opportunities don't pop up every day. Anyways I was sitting in Church, listening to the sermon and he was talking about how much joy people had, but they don't really have it now. After Jesus was hung on the cross, and rose form the dead, his disciples went on preaching. So this government went after them and put them in jail. They beat them up, and told them not to teach about Jesus, and let them go. The moment they got out they rejoiced because they were so happy for following god. They just went back to making more disciples. I, uforchanatly, don't think I would be rejoicing after that. I think you would have to have amazing faith. I think it's possible for people to be that faithful, but after that, rejoicing might not be first on my mind. But it's amazing reading how faithful and strong people were in the lord. I have to try my very hardest to even come close to the people in the bible. But I also think those were the times. They would give anything for their lord. I think that is fantastic for them though.
