Getting ready for school to start

So, it's August. Yeah, that time of year again....school starting back. Many of us are sad that the summer is over, some of us are just glad that we know have something to do. Regardless of how we feel about it, school is gonna start and we'll be there. The really question is, what are we gonna do once we get there? Are we just gonna go through school like everyone else, making sure we make it to practice each day, do our homework, and study for the test on Thursday? What if we stepped out in faith, do the extraordinary?
One of the things that God has really placed on my heart lately, like I was telling the seniors, is to reach out to our schools, and make a difference in the lives of the people around us. This doesn't mean preach to every single person, regardless of if they want to hear. In the book of John, in Chapter 15, Jesus talks about abiding in Him. When we abide in Christ, and have an active relationship with Him, our light truly starts to shine in the World. we'll be the light on the hill that Jesus talks about in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. The old saying, "actions speak louder than words" is definitely true. When we love other people, regardless of how they treat us, we work at helping the people we come in contact with and witness to them through our actions, it opens doorways to talking to them about Christ. So my fellow high schoolers, let's step out in faith, and make a difference in our schools. A quote from a song sums it up nicely
"Why do we go with the flow? Why take the easy road? Why are we playing it safe? Love came to show us the way, love is a chance we should take, I'm moving out of the rain. Dont let your lights go down, dont let your fire burn out cause somewhere sombody needs a reason to believe. Why don't you rise up now? Don't be afraid to stand out. That's how the lost get found"

Do you feel God challenging you to step out in faith, and do something for His glory that you normally wouldn't?

How are some ways you can better become the salt and light of the world and reach out to your schools?

Are you holding back? Are there things in your life that are hindering you from being a strong witness? If so, are you talking to God about fixing it?

Would you be willing to get a group of friends together to help work together to reach out to your school, just as a group of friends or through a club such as FCA or World Changers?
