I've always wanted to start a blog, but I am one of those people who do something for a week straight then get bored with it and finds something else to do. So, Obviously blogging isn't going to be something that is easy for me. And it wasn't. In the beginning I don't well, posted every day or every other day, but after that I just quit, and I've spent all day today Posting so that I could have 25 blogs to be graded. I'm a procrastinator, it's getting pretty bad. I enjoy writing, a lot, so it's not like I can't blog, it's just that I just find other things to do. So, the writing part was the easiest for me, considering I just reflected and added on to some sermons and made some of my own. The hardest part of this assignment was doing it every day, obviously, I posted 12 days in a row and all of the rest just today. :P
I like writing, so If I was the type of person that could do the same thing everyday without getting bored I would have loved this assignment, but considering I am not that type of person and I spent the last 6 hours posting blog entries, I am not too fond of this assignment. But that is my own fault! If I could do it all again, I think I would take it more seriously, and actually do it everyday or have tried a little harder.

Let's Fake Love -Everything you gotta know about Women
This is not FOR women it's about woman.
1 Peter 3:7 "The same goes for you husbands; Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God's grace, you're equals so your prayers don't run aground.
A Woman is not a commodity. An Object, or something that brings you value.
3 Lessons Porn teaches us:

A Woman is to be honored.

- Renew your mind in order to think differently.

Let's Fake Love - Happy Never After
Are you the type of person that the type of person that you are looking for, is looking for?
Confusing? haha.
Be who the person that you are looking for in a relationship, you shouldn't expect your spouse to do something that you don't do yourself.
How can You change you, not the other person?
Your present will eventually be your past, but it will show up in your future.
Marriage doesn't solve problems, it reveals problems.
"The Grass is always greener on the other side..." Why Don't you water your own grass!!!! Change you!
Dating Myths
-If I meet the right person, I'll live happily ever after.
-If I meet the right person they will complete me.
God Completes you!
-If I meet the right person, the chemistry will be off the charts!
Marriage isn't about sex as much as it's about communication!
Sex Is not a need, It's a desire!
The Bible gives us very little help when it comes to finding the right person, but it provides lots of help when it comes to becoming the right person.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
3 Steps to "Happy Ever After" (Don't mix up the order!)
1. Discover your maker.
2. Embrace your mission.
(After you've taken the first two steps, it's a lot easier to stumble on the 3rd)
3. Meet your mate.
1 Corinthians 13:11 "When I was a child, i talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned llike a child. When I became a man I put the ways of Childhood behind me.

Taking Responsibility for Injustice
It's Hard to change the world if we refuse to move our feet!
-Mark 16:15 "Go Everywhere in the world and tell the Good News to Everyone. "
-Matthew 6:10 "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven..."
What if God's biggest plan wasn't to escape earth, but to transform it!
In Order to Bring Good News to the World...
1. Jesus will change what we CARE about
-Matthew 25:37-40
-C O M P A S S I O N
2. Jesus will change what we become indifferent too.
-Luke 9:59-62
3. Jesus will change what we get mad at.
-Ephesians 4:26
Jesus gets mad when..
The needs of Children go unmet
-Mark 10:13-14
The suffering of others is ignored
Luke 11:46
4. Jesus will change what we sacrifice for
-John 3:16
Grow a Pear 1
Taking Responsibility for the fruit in your life!
Don't throw excuses, just take responsibility
We are the product of the environment we create.
-The Environment you create for your life, sets the tone!
-If you don't like how your life it now, CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT!
-Create a different environment!!
Romans 12:2 "Do NOT conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -His good, pleasing, and perfect will."
The WRONG Environment will lead you to conform!
The RIGHT environment will lead you to transform!
You don't need to change, because you can change back just as quickly. You need to TRANSFORM into something completely different!
Galatians 5:16-25 "16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit."
It's not a fruit issue, it's a root issue!
Fruitful always follows faithful!
3 Dementions to our growth
1. Desire - This is God's job
Dare him to give you a desure!
Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."
God isn't going to work through you if he hasn't worked in you!
2. Dicipline -Thats your job!
-Feed the spirit, starve the flesh!
-The ONLY way to change your life is to CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
3. Delight- This just happens
-Happy Just Happens
-Galatians 6:7-8 "The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
LIVING FOR GOD IS NOT ABOUT TRYING HARDER, IT'S ABOUT TRAINING DIFFERENTLY!
