Graduation Speech: Remain in Christ :: Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Its been great attending County Christian School. Where else do students walk into civilise at 755 and receive a instill of hot chocolate and a cookie? Then, after third period, Mr. Obrastoff combs our hair and sings to us. It really has been a delightful place to go to school. In all seriousness, we subscribe been blessed to go to this school. We consider been looked after and protected. Now, we prepare for the real world. We will be facing new temptations and challenges. Its non like as soon as we walk out these doors after receiving our diploma theres going to be a line of rough-looking guys who are going to be saying, Hey Ill give you ten million dollars if you go rob that bank, or Hey, do you want to join the mafia? Its not going to be like that. However, once we are out from the protection of our school and families, it will be between just God and us. Our society today will be encouraging infidelity, lying, and substance abuse. Self-centeredness will be the paramount vie wpoint. For those of you who are going on to another Christian community, I challenge you to be the different ones. Christian groups too often say, yeah, praise God, and then not always walk in His steps. They see Christianity as just obeying the big rules instead of a daily faith relationship with God. They might even enquire you to do subtle things that modernize Gods rules. Take that extra step and really be a leader. Be the one person that everyone can look up to and say that you have the love of Jesus in your heart. Show them that you are truly on fire for God. For those of you who are going on to a layperson society, I challenge you to remain in Christ and try to find some Christian friends. You are going to be in a ill environment. Most people wont believe the same things as you. People will not only be asking you to do little things that will break Gods rules, but also things that seem big. You need to stand up for your beliefs and show them that you are different. This means you cant be afraid to say no, thats not right, but repute you cant resist temptations on your own, you need God working openly in your life. If you find a good group of Christians, it will also help you to have someone to hold you accountable and fellowship with.
