If we could get arrested for being a Christian, would the police have enough evidence to bring us in?

Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie?

Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?

Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?

Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?

Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?

Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger? Do you give up?

A Prayer...

Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.  

Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your

Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage.

Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.

Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. 

I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. In love, Your Friend Sharing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Sharing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ would do.

This reflection and prayer had been posted in the UST Center for Campus Ministry Bulletin Board. I am a member of that organization that is why I was able to borrow this document from the clerk at the CCM Office, Ate Crispy.

Our organization is the head or the core of all the other religious organizations inside the campus.

The reflection in the first part is something that not anyone can do. All of us say that we are Christians and that we are baptized as a Christian... but the missing point there then is that we are not acting as real Christians.

IF we are Christians, would we be able to give up our lives for God? These questions keep lingering in my mind. It pushed the buttons then that I should share this page to all the Christians there.

It is so funny then that we end a day without a prayer. We read stories and others without even saying a prayer for ourselves. Well, this time, reflect. At least we cared to pray.
