| 212 Degrees--Boiling Point Get On Fire For God!! |
| What is 212 Degrees--Boiling Point?? Are you wondering exactly what this thing is? Follow the link above to find out the mission statement and purpose for this new Christian zine! |
| SNACK SHACK The Bible says that man (and the rest of us) does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Soooooo, why not grab a dr. pepper (or soda of your choice) and some chips (hey, fat grams and calories don't count on-line!!) and check out these "snacks" from God's Word. :) | TELL THE WORLD The Bible says to confess with your mouth what God has done for you...where He's brought you from...and what He's doing in your life. Tell the world!! This section of 212 Degrees--Boiling Point is set aside for testimonies. Maybe something you've gone through or are in the middle of right now can help someone else in their situation. Maybe God can use your testimony, your story, to bless someone else and in turn bless you as well. And maybe you can benefit from something someone else has to say. If nothing else, testifying results in giving glory to God, and THAT is our divine purpose! (Because I received no testimonies from anyone this month, there will be no "Tell The World" section for this issue. Look for it next issue though! And if you have a testimony to share, please send it in! Thanks.) |
| MAIN STAGE This is the place where you can find all kinds of Christian music news. From reviews on the latest albums, to the artists' testimonies, to links to Christian music sites. This is the place to be! |
| POETRY CORNER Welcome to the Poetry Corner! Make yourself at home. There's some giant bean-bags to sit on over in the corner over there... Do ya still have some snacks left from your visit to the Snack Shack? If not, help yourself to some refreshments...the ones laid out on that table over there... Now that you're all settled in, enjoy the selection of poetry for this issue of 212 Degrees--Boiling Point. | ISSUES WE FACE Do you ever wonder if God's Word has any practical advice concerning the issues we face today? Well, guess what! The Bible has plenty to say about most of our modern-day problems and concerns. Maybe it doesn't actually use the same terms we do now...but as King Soloman advised in Ecclesiastes, "there is nothing new under the sun". The Bible was written a long time ago, times have changed a little since then. But God hasn't changed a bit, and neither have his commands! So, let's explore some and see just what the Bible does have to say concerning some of the issues we face today. (After a few months' break, this section is back! Hope you enjoy it!) |
| KNOW THE TRUTH When you get depressed it is easy to *feel* like no one cares, like God is far away, and like you are very much alone. As Christians we are supposed to go by what we *know* and not by what we *feel*. What do you *know* about God? What kinds of things does the Bible tell you for certain about God? And what kinds of things has God shown you personally about himself? In this part of 212 Degrees--Boiling Point we are going to keep a running list of things we *know* to be true about God. But I also want to challenge each of you to start your own list on a regular piece of paper or notebook. Add to your list every day, and when you start feelilng depressed or alone, turn back to your list and see how awesome God is!! Know The Truth!! |
THINK ABOUT IT Throughout the Bible we find many parables that Jesus told the disciples and crowds that gathered around him. He used these parables to help make it a little easier and clearer to understand some of the harder things he was trying to tell them. These parables really caused people to think, back in Jesus' time and now in our time. Well...these "parables" featured here aren't from God's Word, but the messages behind them are. Read them and see if they cause you to "think about it". |
| SPECIAL INSERT ARTICLES This section of 212 Degrees--Boiling Point is for all the special insert articles that are not for a regular column, but are just as important to read! :) I hope you enjoy them! Resting in God's Perfect Plan Are You Giving All You Say You Are?? Guess what! The article series on Worship isn't over yet! Below is a link to the *fifth* part of the series...enjoy! If you haven't yet read the first four articles that have been featured in previous issues of 212 Degrees, I encourage you to read those first. The links to those are provided in the beginning of this fifth article. Worship: The Highest Praise |
| KEWL LINKS There's some pretty cool stuff on the world-wide web for Christian teens. I've put together a list of some of my favorite sites and webpages that might be of interest to some of you out there. This list is just the beginning, and I'll be adding to it every chance I get! I also welcome links suggested by others, so if you have a link that you want to share with everyone, please send it to me. Thanks! |
| PRAY FOR REVIVAL This is something that I've been really thinking alot about lately. Revival...our country, our whole world needs it now like never before. With school shootings happening so often, abortions being performed tons of times every day legally, and the occult in full-swing throughout our society, it seems that God has been put on the back-burner. I want to really encourage you to take a few minutes EVERY day to pray for revival to sweep through your country and world. Pray for your youth group and church, for your school, for your community, for your state and country....for all the leaders and people who make decisions that effect us all. Prayer is a very powerful thing...and the Bible says that when two or three are gathered in prayer, He is there in their midst. Thank you... |
MISSION'S REPORT Have you ever been on a mission trip? If so, then you have a story to tell. Please consider sharing YOUR story. Tell us where you went, how God used you and your team, what it was like, and anything else that made the experience memorable. We want to know all about it! Depending on the amount of stories that I receive from readers, I will try and feature these "mission reports" in the next two issues, and then take things from there. I'm hoping for an awesome turn-out...remember, your story matters! Don't just leave it to someone else! :) E-mail me your story at: sonflower_16@yahoo.com. Thanks! | |

| Note From The Editor Hi, everyone!! I hope you enjoyed this issue of 212 Degrees--Boiling Point. First, I want to apologize that this issue is a little bit late getting out, and thank you all for waiting so patiently. Second, as always, I want to say thanks to you all for reading 212 Degrees--Boiling Point and especially to those of you who have sent me feedback, encouragement, and support. You all are great! :) Third, I'd like to announce some changes and additions in 212 Degrees--Boiling Point that you can look forward to in the next issue. Instead of coming out around the 15th of the month, 212 Degrees--Boiling Point will now come out around the 1st of the month. So, the next issue will come out around July 1st. Also, in the next issue, I will have an official link graphic/banner for 212 Degrees--Boiling Point. That way, if you have a webpage of your own, you can link to my site with a customized graphic if you want. Another thing that will finally be up for the first time in the next issue is the featured artist page in the Main Stage music section. A few other changes will be taking place...but hey, I can't share all the secrets! *grin* So you'll have to be sure to check in next time to see for yourself... And finally, if you've read through everything in this issue, you may have noticed that much of the contents have to do with change and moving out of your "comfort zone". Well, that's because I'm dealing with alot of that stuff in my own life right now. But I don't think I'm the only one...so I hope that you all will open up your hearts and minds and let God talk to you through what has been written here. Whether it be about change or something else, I believe that God has something to say to you...so take a few minutes and just listen...He will speak if you listen! :) Until next month... Your Sis in Christ~* |
