Here is today’s verse.
“This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.” -Romans 13:6
As always, bye Jammers! And -Jam On!-
Halloween - Why I Don't Celebrate It
Hi guys! I hope you're having a great day! I'm sorry this post is so late! We had a lot to do today, and as soon as we got home I read my Bible.
Today I'm going to be reposting something I put up on my blog, but I want this post to reach as many people as possible, and I don't really have the time energy to write up a brand new post so... XDD

Recently Housemom322 did a post on my blog sharing her feelings about halloween (click here to read her post), and I decided that I would do the same.
When I was really little, I knew halloween was just something gross that we just don't celebrate. But then when I got a little older, my mom showed my this website (link below), that breaks down a lot about halloween, and a lot of things in this blog post were found on it. You can look at the website using the link below.
There's a whole bunch of information on the website, but here's my condensed version of it.
Halloween comes from Druidic origin, which is basically the celtic religion, where they sacrifice humans, and just a bunch of other nasty things. And when they sacrifice humans, they sacrifice to either baal or the devil, which is absolutely against everything the Bible says. But whether you're a Christian or not, it's still wrong, and so gruesome. You might think, "Well, that was a long time ago. That doesn't apply to today." But really, it does. There are still people who do things like this. I've actually met someone who is apart of something similar to this.
The meaning behind a whole lot of the halloween traditions and so wicked, you wouldn't even believe it. Just the simple tradition of wearing costumes has a horrible meaning. The website says that it's supposed to be a contact to the spirit world to invite the spirit to possess them. That's crazy. Costumes are supposed to be basically a gateway to allow the devil come mess with us.
The most popular, trick or treating, comes from Druid (or Druidic) customs. Which again, is so gruesome.
No matter what culture says, no matter what you believe even, this is horribly wrong. So before you get your halloween decorations up, go trick or treating, or whatever your tradition is, please consider the origin of this holiday.
Isaiah 28:15-19 says,
-
You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place.”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.
17
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow your hiding place.
18
Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be beaten down by it.
19
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning after morning, by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.

You don't have to agree with me on what I said, and I also didn't tell you these things to be scared. I told you this to open your eyes to the truth and reality about halloween. These things are scary, but if we break the covenant with death and hell, we don't have to be afraid. If we have Jesus before us, and the world and death behind us, we have absolutely nothing to fear.
Instead of celebrating halloween, find a fun yearly alternative for it. Me and my mom always put up our decorative Christmas houses, which is our alternative. Or maybe you could watch a movie with your family, or go shopping, or whatever you enjoy doing that doesn't have a covenant with death.
Making wise choices will make a huge impact on your life. ❤️

The Importance Of Kindness - Life And Death In The Tongue
Hi guys! I hope you are having a great Tuesday afternoon! My afternoon has been kinda boring, but it's been nice. When my niece stayed with us for two month, I was wanted to be bored, because she kept me so so busy. XDD Sounds weird, but if you had to chase a little kid for two months and go back and forth to the hospital to visit your sister, you'd get it... hehe
Honestly, I'm a little nervous writing this post, but I feel it needs to be addressed. Let's get started!

Writing on AJC hasn't been as enjoyable as it used to be a year or two ago, because recently, I've been getting slammed with not-so-nice comments from anonymous's, that, in short, tell me to quit, and that my posts aren't good. And it's been putting a whole lot of stress on me, every time I click to look at the comments.
I'm not going to go into a whole lot of details, and I don't want this post to come off wrong at all. I'm not sure 100% who these anonymous people are, but above anything else, I'm not mad at whoever you all are. I'm not angry, and I forgive you. I just want to address the importance of kindness and respect. I know a lot of people think that if they aren't face to face with the person in real life, and if they say things through the internet that they're better off, and it's not as harsh, but it does have the same impact as if you were face to face. It's really hurtful, and stressful. I'm not saying this on behalf of just myself, and wanting my posts not to be spammed, I'm saying this on behalf of everyone. On behalf of this blog, my blog, other blogs, and the whole community. Kindness is so vital to having a strong community.
There's a lot of verses in the Bible that support kindness, and this particular verse says that God will show kindness to us, if we show kindness to him.
Romans 11:22
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you will be cut off.
Please consider this. Choosing kindness is something we should all do, regardless of how we feel about the other person. Kindness and forgiveness are both biblical, and vital to a good community. I know this post might spark arguments, but you don't have to agree with me. We can agree to disagree, you can tell me your opinion, but please share your opinions in kind ways. Your words are powerful. Proverbs 18:21 says there is life and death in the tongue.
I'm going to leave the post at that, but I encourage you to watch the music video below. It's a song called Words by Hawk Nelson, that's basically a song about this very subject.
If you've left 20 comments, never commented before, I've met you, or never have met you, whoever you are, wherever you come from, I forgive you. I'm not mad at you. I'm not angry with you. I love you. Like, sincerely love you. Not because I have to, not because that's the right thing to do, I love you just for who you are. God loves you too. I love you, because he first loved us. He gives me the ability to do that. I really, really, really, love you, no matter what. ❤️
