I am planning on speaking on this in a couple of days. About 3 years ago I bought a necklace with a nail on it. I used it as a reminder of what christ sacrificed for us. I havent wore it in such a long time. This morning getting ready for school I put it on and a created to worship shirt with a romans verse on it. As I was walking to school from the parking lot I tucked it down in my shirt and zipped my coat up. I didnt think about it until around 5th period and then I looked down to see the necklace and shirt underneath my coat. It hit me, by doing this im denying him. The only reason I covered it up was because I was scared of people saying things or talking about me having this shirt on. From then on the rest of the day I wore this necklace outside of my shirt. On my way home I couldnt help but think about denying him and I just asked his forgiveness. I felt as if this lesson could help someone. I;ve never spoke in front of people and im worried in a way about giving my testimony. But he will help me through it.

Hi Jclev,

While I'm not a teen anymore, I can totally relate with you. It's even harder for you teens these days in school, and for all Christians out in public. The thing is Paul told us that those who live a godly and righteous life through Jesus Christ would face persecuation.See 2 Timothy 3:12. Also Paul told us in 2 Corinthians 12:10 that he took pleasure persecutions and so on. We're to be like Paul on that. Be faithful until death, and then the Lord will give us a crown of life!

Yes it will be harder than ever in this day and time being a Christian, but, just think about what Jesus did for us. What He took for us. We have nothing to be ashamed of, and I'm s glad that He spoke and gave you a message. I say,it's probably a good idea to even mention this when you give your testimony as well. I'll be praying, best wishes, and God bless!

Jclev,
I do stuff like that too sometimes even when I don't realze it. I feel so bad. I never want to be ashamed but there is so much pressure and it's hard. I do like it when I'll wear a shirt or something with a verse or something on it- bc I think maybe that could lead so some one asking me about it and then I could tell them what I believe and stuff. But that's hard for me sometimes so I try to hide it and I feel horrible. One non-Christian at my school once told me that I couldn't wear my tobymac t-shirt because it was "supposedly" in the handbook but I couldn't find anything. Some other ide have these shirts that say one life one God on them and were told to change because they were offensive. I don't get it. Kids can wear shirts that promote drugs sex or violence on them and usually no one notices. But we can't wear clothes promoting God's name?
God bless- Morgan:)

*shakes head* Sadly that's the world for you Morgan, but remember Paul told us in Romans 12:1-2 ''I beseech you therefore, brethern, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your resonable service. And be not conformed to his world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove that what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.'' See, we can present our body as a living sacrifice to God, by wearing a certain shirt, or necklace, etc. Just don't be conformed to the world. No matter how hard things get. I heard somewhere, on the news, they're saying by 2011 or 2012 we'll be/have a one world currency and all that. When that happens,we lose all religious freedom and everything. That's just the beginning of it all, so young, middle, and older aged/ geneerations of Christians, get ready, the battle is just abou to begin.

LOL I'm far from the best....I too hope it doesn't come to that, however....sadly, we know eventually it will...the good side of it, that'll draw the cmming of Christ closer, and us getting out of this world! Going home, honey, some day we're going home!
