if you were asked to shout in public "I am a Christian", would you? Well yeah rarely would we be asked to do so. However, think: If one day you are requested to publicly announce to EVERYONE in the area, would you? Or would you find some way to squirm out of doing such a thing. Okay, if you are with a group of Christian friends, you just may. However, if a friend of different religion ask you to publicly declare your religion in an area thronged with strangers, i doubt many would.

So, do you live for the world, or do you live for Jesus? Everday when you wake up (for students), what is the first thing you think of? Is it, "oh crap! school AGAIN", or do you think "Just how can I spread the gospel today, and save my brothers and sisters?". Well, for me, it would be the first option.

Yes, people who do not publicly declare their faith or are not wholeheartedly into saving more people may not necessarily be of weak faith. Yes, it may be that their other actions show their faith. However, do we live for the "face" of ourselves, or for the "face" of Christ? I think we all still are maturing in our faith, and hopefully, we one day may be willing to be a martyr, for the Lord.

While we still are at different levels of maturity in Christ, why don't we just ponder: who do i want to be when i grow up? A person living for the world, or a person living for Christ? That is a question, which in my opinion, only you can answer for yourself.
