Paparazzi Week 1: The Proposition.

What would you do for one Million dollars? It is an interesting question leads to another questions.

How much are you worth?

This questions is really important when thinking about decisions that we make.

If you are not worth much... then it almost doesn't matter what you do.

This is what is often communicated in the media. They communicate that your worth is found in how famous, pretty, and willing to show off that you are. If this were true, however, you would think that people like Paris, Nicole, Lindsay, and of course Britney would be really happy... Do you think the seem happy?

Jesus communicated something far different when he died for us... we are all worth enough for Jesus to be willing to die... this is a lot of value!

So... when you make decisions about how you will live, consider how much you are worth.

Don't just take the worth and through it away carelessly!

Life is precious, you are precious. Be careful how you live so that you can fully protect how valuable and unique that you are!

hey brandon, so i was thinking about this one the day after nexus. and i was thinking..how much is God worth to me? because i was also listening to this song about the Columbine shooting and if someone asked me with a gun to my head Do you believe in God? i was thinking..is he really worth that much to me that i would say yes and die? and i really want to be able to say yes and know that i'm living my life fully for Him. So not only (in my thoughts) should we ask the question: How much are we worth. we should ask as well: How much is God worth



sorry if that was really confusing

Sophia, that is such a great thought... honestly. So often we do not stop to think about how significant it is that God, the greatest being in the whole universe, loves us. But even greater, how much should we love him!
