Be Christians at school

[God's Child]

People at my school know that I'm different. They see Jesus Christ in me or they at least no that there's something different about me. Some people still can't accept me, even though I always love and respect them. Most poeple don't swear around me, because they know I don't approve of it and that I'm a Christian. Today one of my friends took the Lord's name in vain. I told him not to swear and he said he didn't. Then he looked at me and said "ohh, well I'm not a Christian so I can take the Lord's name in vain." I said "well what if it offends someone else?" He said sorry, I'll try to stop.

Just the other day someone in homeroom asked me if I believe in God and started asking me a bunch of questions. The thing to do is to let them know that you are available to answer any questions they may have and that you are willing to talk to them about it anytime.

God presents us with many chances to tell people of the good news at school. We just need to take them. Sometimes I used to feel embarrassed to let people know that I am a Christian. Now I want everyone to know. We need to be "Little Christ" and go out and love our peers for who they are and not for what they do. Who are they? They are God's creations.

I have been saved for almost 2 years (it will be 2 years this november) anyhow...I still struggle with being uncomfy about sharing the gospel at skool..especially around all my friends, almost all of them are unsaved but 2. Anyways, I would like to share how unintentionally helped one of my teachers spiritually, (very cool! please read) Well...at the beginning of the skool year, my english teacher Mrs. Ramp let us know that she claimed Christianity, but consistently throughout the year, she CUSSED in the classroom! I always thought 'whoa, not Christian'. Then during the last few weeks of Mrs. Ramp passed out an evaluation sheet about her class. One of the questions on that sheet was "Do you think I am a professional teacher?" (As in does she do her job well). The thing I wrote because I am a Christian, and don't believe in it, ESPECIALLY from a teacher is "I don't agree with the cussing, but besides that, you're doing great". The next day, one of the kids did something to make her angry, and you could tell she WANTED to cuss, but she said a more clean word than a swear word. And someone, in the class actually asked her 'why didnt' you cuss? We do'. And her reply was "Well, someone in the class put down on the evaluation sheet that they didn't agree with the cussing, and I am glad because I do claim Christianity, and for me to do that in the classroom really blows my Christian witness, so it's inspired me to hold back from cussing". And she came up to me a few days later and was telling me how I was an inspiration to her and everything. I felt so happy that I helped her with her walk with Christ, even if it was a small thing. She did not cuss for the rest of the year either! Praise Jesus! Please just pray that I become more open about my Christianity once I go into skool again next year. Thank you for reading. Sorry it was so long.

Yes everyone sees that I am a christian.alot of people call me preacher because i am witnessing and reading my bible,but that even pushes me harder.

I enjoyed reading that.

I used to feel embarrassed when people found out I was a Christian too. I think you just get to a point in your faith where it just doesn't matter what people think anymore and you just want to stand up for Him completely.

It's fantastic that you told that person not to swear when he said God's name in vain. I'll take a stand when my family say God's name in vain because I hear it every day so often at school, it's horrible. I just want to be able to come home and NOT have to keep hearing it in vain again. It really gets to me. Unfortunately at school, lately I just haven't been taking a stand when people say His name in vain because EVERYONE says it here so often, even my maths teacher. This post has woken me up a little. I know what I need to do from now on. Thank you.

Cursing

I don't use the Lord's name in vain. The people around me know that i don't, but many swear all the time. I guess the question I have is how do you correct someone, or tell them not to curse, without making them feel like you think you're superior to them. I don't want someone thinking that I think I'm better than them because i dont swear. So how could you nicely tell or ask someone to stop using the Lord's name in vain?

Wow, I could have totally written this first post when I was in High School. I dealt with a lot of people too. I didn' t always publicly state that I was a Christian, but I would often incorporate religion in some form in papers or presentations. People just knew I was a Christian. I had people come up to me too, asking questions. It would totally make my face red and would make me embarassed. People were sincerely asking me questions, it was like a dream! Just hang in there, the Holy Spirit will give you the words to speak

I spoke to my youth group about this. I feel it is very important that everybody in school shows their faith instead of putting on a "mask" when in school.

I find the best way to show my faith is to love everyone i see with a grace I don't know how to hide. My best friend got intot he habit of calling me religious boy, but I don't mind. That I think is a good idea. Jesus didn't ask people to stop sinning as much as he said, "If you really love me, you'll keep my commandments."

Everyday I like to show that the little things that life throws and thaqt people do don't bother me. I am obviously more concerned about them then there sins.

Remember, we need to get them out of the slavery of sin. Then Christ will take the slavery of sin out of them.
