Who are you? A Christian?

Hey guys!I received this mail recently and thought tht it would be great to share it with you.May you be a shining example like this man in the story!
Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.'
The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?''Yes' he replied.'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter!'
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test!
Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian'.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. So, I choose to forward it to you - my friend. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day!If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; but, if you do, you will have ministered to someone.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!
God Bless.

Comelah.....we wont eat you...

OOOHHH........did the headline give u a scare?Haha.....yea,we ACSians LOVE to eat (you should see how the nuggets evaporate into thin air) but we wont eat human beings thats for sure...

Nyways,im just here to report on what happened 2 weeks back during CU meeting.

Hope you guys enjoy yourselves in CU=)

What would YOU do?

Prayer meetings are always good and fun!yea,hard to believe bt its true:)Just come n hear all the laughter we hv...haha

bt most of all,we learn something everytime we come together....

So today Alex was sharing about an experience tht he had in his youth camp recently,

He started of by saying tht actually he didnt want to go for it cos he was tired and all,just finish exams...but at last he wentla,thts hw I hv sumting to share to day...:)

There was this activity in his camp.Each person had to pick a card.Each card had a different period of time;1 hour,1 day,1 week,1 month etc...And there was a question;

What if Jesus were to come back in tht period of time?

Alex,very luckily,gt the '1 hour' card.Haha,So what was he's response?Well,he said he became very emo....yup,i guess most of us would most prob do tht...Stop n stare.

After he shared,we were,well..emo?haha.And quite surprisingly,we all started sharing abt our different 'End of the world' experiences too...

But we came to a conclusion,in tht we should not focus too much on whats gonna happen,cos its something that we would not knw...bt we should focus more on what we as Christians should do nw...with the time has been given by God:)

I wanna end this with this verse.Dont be worried when you read it,bt learn from it and act upon it!
'So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know.But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”Acts 1:6-8

So prayer meetings aren't just about prayer,its about fellowship and learning from one another;)
Join prayer meeting!

Pressure....

MY FRIENDS PRESSURE ME TO SMOKE

A guy is caught between his friends and a smart decision.

A couple of friends started smoking and constantly invite me to join them. I don’t want to, but I’m afraid to say no. What should I do?
You’re smart for not wanting to smoke. After all, what your buddies may think is an OK activity can end up getting pretty gross: wheezing lungs, yellow teeth, ash-tray breath—a life cut short. The truth is, smoking and healthy lungs don’t mix. Prolonged tobacco use can cause a whole host of life-threatening diseases. That is true of both smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco.
The problem is, your friends are stuck in the moment, which leaves you with some hard questions:
What’s the No. 1 thing keeping me from facing my friends and telling them that I don’t want to smoke?
Would I rather confront the guys and chance losing our friendship or give in and do what I know is wrong?
Do I want growth or guilt? (I’ll probably always wish I had stood strong for what I believe.)

God’s Word can give you the strength and encouragement you need to face your friends. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

It’s a tough step, but you know what you’ve got to do: Speak up and be true to yourself and God. You may face some weirdness from the guys—like put-downs or a strain on your friendships. Yet I’ve discovered that most people respect those who show backbone and stand confidently for what they believe. What’s more, your courage may be just the thing your buddies need right now. Your actions today may steer them away from even dumber risks in the future.
