Lion...Glad it helped you. There's really nothing YOU can do to recover a ruined witness...the Spirit that lives within you will just have to be allowed to shine out from you in every situation you find yourself in. In fact, that is the only way to hold on to a GOOD witness too! You are living in one of the most difficult cultures on earth..High School! You are a spiritual target, but you also have the potential to be a great warrior for the Living God by His Grace and power. Think of the daily spiritual battle you find yourself in like being a sort of sci-fi warrior...you are made capable of withstanding any energy weapon God's enemy uses on you as long as you remain within the eminating energy field (His Spirit)that He puts in and around you; but the instant YOU fire YOUR OWN weapon from within the shield, everything overloads and the shield drops, leaving you unprotected. I know it sounds too simple but it isn't easy - just TRUST Him. Walk your talk and we will be speaking of you to the Father regularly for your protection and strength. respectfully - GodsGardener RIC

Lion-How 'bout little questions like "how would you define the word 'good'?, do you see yourself as a 'good' person?, How does God define 'good', R U 'good' by His standards? Have you ever not obeyed any of His commandments? If God were to judge you right now based on your admission, would you be guilty or innocent? God has pronounced the punishment for any non-obedience as eternal seperation from Him (death), is that what U want? Do U know what God did 4 U so you wouldn't have to suffer this fate? Because life-blood is required as payment-in-full for this sentence, He gave His only Son Yahshuah Jesus the Messiah as substitutionary payment for your just penalty. This is available to you on one condition...you must turn away from rebellion(sin) just as I have, obey your Father in heaven, and trust in Yahshuah Jesus for everything in your life. What do you think about that?" The let the Spirit of the Lord do the convicting and draw your friend to Jesus the Christ. You have now done your job well as a watchman over the eternal destination of your friend...who can really argue with that kind of compassion? RIC
