Journal of Faith: Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling Philippians 2:12

A lot of ministry students like myself have heard this term or saying before.  It means scripture only.  This is the way I strive to live my life.  It is according to the inspired word of God.  Because God holds all wisdom in his hands if we follow what he has said then we will be able to live victoriously in this present world.  People try to say that the Bible is outdated, but God is not subject to time therefore God can not be outdated.  God knew the end from the beginning and before we were formed in the whom he knew us.  How can he ever be outdated?  I am not trying to shove aside tradition, but tradition should be taken as just that rather than our means of salvation or mark of christianity.  A christian by definition is a Christ - follower.  I think that many traditions are great, but if you can not apply the word or God to your life than you have only a form of Godliness.  I want to exude Godliness from the inside out. ...

So, my brother will be married soon, and I think I am okay with it.  I get along well with his bride to be and resolved myself to the fact that I am going to have a sister.  I think it may not be as bad as I have imagined.  When I was younger I used to wish that I had a sister all the time, but as  I got older I began to appreciate the fact that I was the only girl. The only person that  I had to share with was my mother.  I do enjoy the many female cousins that  I do have which are like sisters to me, and I enjoyed my roommate experiences in college. I am adaptable.  I think everything will be fine although one day I was looking for my curling iron and found it two days after she was there. It was behind a dresser.  Let the shared female experiences begin.  =)  Heaven help us all.   As I write this  I think I am becoming a little bit excited.  It's like college all over again.
