Weenie Christians

~Brandon James Scott Scholl

I believe that the name of this blog totally explains how this is written.

One thing that happens alot with me is I’m told that because of how confrontational I can be about things pertaining to the Bible or something I’m passionate about I am arrogant and should humble myself. This is something that drives me totally nuts and I wish people would understand and grasp this concept. If people actually read the Bible and really thought about it they would be amazed that someone with my pressures in the world as far as from peers, the world, and even people around me can still be the way I am. The alone fact that I’m 18 and do what I do without worry is something that most people wouldn’t even consider. I’ve had numerous opportunities to do lots of things in life to get me educated further in the fields I’m interested in that nobody is willing to look into or go searching for. There have been times that I’ve been told that I’m wrong for playing a certain song on the guitar, or that if I read books by Robert Ludlum I’m leaving the door open for the enemy to come and attack me, or the people that are in an authoritative position and they will bend over backwards to make people happy.

These are the people I like to commonly refer to as “Weenie Christians.” These are the Christians who have absolutely no backbone and will break under pressure. They’re the ones that make me uptight and make me wonder why they allow their idiotic tendencies to control their life. I’m not saying that Christians should be hospitable and I’m not saying that the average Christian is like this. Like I’ve explained in previous posts I’m a Christian that doesn’t take crap from the world and will do what I can to kick the enemy in the head. I’m not saying that I’m perfect because I know for a fact that if you ask my parents they will definitely testify that I have my moments when I can totally screw up in life. However, this doesn’t mean that I’m a bad person. There have been times that I have even been told that because of how I am God was punishing me with a back problem because I wasn’t humble enough and I thrived on chaos. I won’t deny that I enjoy stirring the pot but I don’t do it for the sake of creating chaos. There are many times that I will do this to make people think outside of the regular box that they operate in.

We are to be a peculiar people and stand out above the crowd. How can you do something like that when you aren’t willing to raise your voice or really stand up for something. I believe that not everyone should be extroverted like this and totally make a point to go against the conformity of the world. Anyways, that’s my rant for now. :) Something to ponder and think about.

A Little Bit About Me

~Brandon James Scott Scholl

I think it’s best that I explain a little bit about myself and what I do before I post anything else. As of right now I’m 18 and I currently am enrolled with iSucceed Virtual High School and University of Phoenix. I was born in Huntington Beach, California and my family moved to Idaho when I was 3 years old. I’m a Christian and have been for most of my life but now take quite a few aspects of my faith seriously. I live in Nampa, Idaho with my family and there’s never such a thing as a dull moment here. I have five other brothers and sisters. I’m the second oldest of the six kids. My older brother is 29 and is married and has a 3 year old son. I’m part of the Student Council and Yearbook with iSucceed and I’m also part of numerous other groups like the Nampa Mayor’s Teen Council, Generation Joshua, and Teen Court. I’m working on my law degree and my ultimate goal is politics. I guess we’ll see what happens there.
