Got It Done

Hey all


                      I made this document which I have finally finished and are releasing on my blog.  To all you young people, don't think just because you're not an adult you can't make an impact.  I'm only fourteen, a freshman; I don't get to Care Group because of too much homework, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop representing for Jesus.  Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity---1 Timothy 4:12  So, please read it, I know it's kind of long but it's worth it.  Please comment and tell me what you think.  Also, tell your Christian buddies about it too.  ----Paul

This is a resource for witnessing Christians so they can be prepared when non-Christians ask them questions about what the Bible says, on certain issues. Now remember, when you answer some of their questions, do it in a kind and loving away. I've worked hard at this for a long time so I hope you enjoy. God speaks through His word.

What are some of God's commandments about talking?

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 (ESV)

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4 (ESV)

What does God say about gossip?

A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 16:28 (ESV)

What does God say about arguing?

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 2 Timothy 2:14 (ESV)

What does God say about anger?

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Ephesians 4:31 (ESV)

What does God do in times of trials?

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 (ESV)

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 (ESV)

What does God say about laziness?

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 10:4 (ESV)

What does God say about homosexuality?

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. Leviticus 20:13 (ESV)

What does God say about marriage?

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Hebrews 13:4 (ESV)

What does God say about drinking?

And do not get drunk on wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:18-21 (ESV)

What does God say about gambling?

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man to do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 (ESV)

What does God say about tattoos?

You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28 (ESV)

Does God expect us to be perfect?

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23 (ESV)

How does God love us?

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (ESV)

What makes each of us unique?

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

Why does God like us?

who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 2 Timothy 1:9 (ESV)

What has Jesus gone through?

And he was in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. Mark 1:13 (ESV)

Then he released Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.  Matthew 26:27 (ESV)

Why should I become a Christian?

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24 (ESV)

How is God our guide?

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

I used your resource this morning in my quiet time before going to work. I'll likely use it again. Thanks. You did a great job. - AG
