Copycat, Copycat

Tonight we hosted the youth group F.E.A.S.T. night-

Fellowship, Eating, Activity, Singing, & Testimony time!

After eating they have a time for games and one of tonight's game was Copycat.

It was so funny! They stand in a circle and there is someone in the middle who was out of the room while an instigator is picked. The person in the middle has to figure out who is starting the motion. They have so much fun doing silly things while the person in the middle is spinning around trying to figure out who is starting it!

They all scramble to imitate each other secretly so that the one in the middle can't figure it out. It reminded me how different we should be from this as Christians. 

We need to imitate Christ. But the difference is that it shouldn't be a secret.

Hebrews 13:7 

"Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith."

It really does need to be like a copycat in all the positive sense of the word. 

3 John 1:11 

"Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good."

We need to be in God's Word-our life manual-to know how Christ lived and how He wants us to live.

He gives us guidelines and principles to follow. He lived on the earth for a little over 30 years to show us how we should live. We need to be witnessing to those who we come in contact with so that others may know Christ and accept Him as their personal Savior and imitate Christ as well. We cannot be perfect as long as we live on earth in our human bodies one day at a time where sin is present but we should strive to obtain it.

Philippians 3:12

     "Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own."

Kids normally don't like it when others copy them, but in this case-It's a great thing! Copy Christ!
