In relation to same sex marriage, someone once said:

"It's funny that those who are going to vote yes on Prop 8 argue that gay marriage destroys the sanctity of marriage and what it truly stands for are exactly the people who go into marriages with a prenuptial and are divorced. Everyone should have the right to be miserable."

My reply:

So there's a program at my school called Fellowship of Christian Hurricanes [our symbol is the hurricane], and I have been aan officer position for this new school year.

The thing that has really been bothering me, is that for the past two years that I have been in FCH, I felt like it wasn't Christ-centered [and i know many people who left  it just because of that].  The members would go and preach in the morning and then go on a cursing spree throughout the day, or someone would get up and speak heresies [sp?]--stuff that's not even true in the Bible.  Now of course, one can not control people, and nor should one leave a church [or church-like organization] because of its members, but all one can do is to put the full word of God out there and pray that the hearers will abide by it.  But therein lies the problem

For the past two years that I have been in FCH, i've noticed that the full word of God has not been put out: 95% of the sermons just spoke about God's love, and God's mercy, and God's faithfullness, and how loving and caring and forgiving God is.......which is all fine and dandy, but no one dared speak on things like John 9:31, which says that God doesn't hear a sinner, but only he who worships Him and does His will...  meaning that if one doesn't live by the ENTIRE word of God, and goes against the Bible, and yet expects God to work for them, they decieve themselves-- anything that God does do for a person as such would only be out of pure mercy.  And no one would even think of preaching on when Jesus said that "not everyone who calls on me 'Lord, Lord' will inherit the kingdom of Heaven, but He that does the WILL of my Father in Heaven."

you see...for the longest, FCH has been preaching on what people WANT to hear, not what they NEED to hear.  And I feel like barely anyone in the organization is GENUINELY saved--that is, that not only do they believe in Christ, but they DO what Christ says.  And so once I was informed that I would be an officer, I was determined [and still am] to make a true change in the minstry, and put out the FULL word of God, rather than sugar coat it and make it seem like "all it takes is faith" to get to Heaven.

So I have ben fasting and praying that a change would occur, and all the while I've felt so alone-- like i was the only one who actually KNEW the word of God and DID it.  But nonetheless, I've been praying for God to have his way, that FCH will TRULY be a Fellowship of CHRISTIAN Hurricanes and not a Fellowship of CARNAL Hurricanes.

And our first official meeting is tomorrow--

and I am speaking

*sigh*

please pray that this year, and for all the years that follow, FCH will be led by the Holy Spirit, and nothing else.
