The Jesus Principle...


YOUth,
Today is a good day. I sure hope you feel the same. In case you haven’t checked it out yet I want you all to be aware that I am now in the blogging scene, and I’m looking for your responses. I’m pretty fed up with Facebook… I just can’t seem to figure everything out and there is so much stuff happening on one page that it’s mindboggling for a simple mind like my own. I have a desire to connect you with your friends and others within our youth group and I wanted to make sure that you have a VOICE. (check out our wiredtm blog at www.wiredtm.blogspot.com)

It’s time that teenagers start to learn and follow the Jesus principle. When we start to live like we should (according to Biblical principle) our world will radically change. If we start reading, thinking, searching the Scriptures and conclude with what the truth of God’s Word says we will rise up to be a new generation. But, it has to start now. You can’t wait. There is no cramming for this test. We need a group of teenagers that will live disciplined lives starting now.

We need a group of people that hold to a Christ-honoring Biblical worldview and we need put those people in leadership positions within our government. I’ve read too much that clearly says that people have walked away from, literally are fighting against, what this country was built upon. This great nation was built on God’s Word and if we change that our great nation will cease to be great.

What can you do? STAND. Stand for values. Voice you’re beliefs, your convictions and don’t back down. This means you need to know what values you stand for. Get into a Bible study / Sr. High guys meet every other Thursday night, Sr. High girls every Thursday night / Jr. High guys and girls are every other Friday at our BISTRO Café. Be here on Sundays for services and our teen ministry and follow up during the week by reading/studying on your own.

Tell me what you’re going to do.

THIS WEEK:
