really doing it

One thing I enjoy about my job is that I am reaching the lost. That can be joyful and a struggle. People have habbits and to help them out of them is not really that easy. Getting Godly habbits isn't that easy either.

Through our sports ministry we are getting them from the bars and the streets to our church where at first their "church" is a 5 min devotion and hard play. Ya know those 5 minutes and hard play go a long way sometimes. Sometimes I get people to do devotions that you wouldn't think they could do a great job but they surprise me all the time.

Habits hard work sometimes no answers or I dont know what to do when I face them but I do and just keep loving these guys and girls. Lotta fun lotta work all worth it

The truth is scary

The more time goes on and I read my Bible and stuff the more conservative I become. We live in a postmodern society where people think im ok your ok. And for the most part I went a long with it because it made sense.

In college I kinda had this idea that secular and non-Christian ideas had truth and we could learn from them (like a half-truth). That maybe we could learn about our Bible by learning completely different ideas about God.

Is that true? My person belief is that they might have some interesting ideas but their truth applied to the Bible or any type of living is dangerous. In fact that the spirit of the anti-christ has infiltrated our churches and our thinkers. The more I face and see the natural out comings of postmodernism the more it scares me. I used to think it was an awesome way to think, but now I think its effect on people and this whole spirituality movement is more harmful than good.

Thats all I know

An unsent letter

This is the letter that maybe I should send maybe I shouldn't. I am a youth minister at a church that recently went through a split in the church and this is a letter I want to send to those people. Though not like this

Hello __________


Please take this not out of hate but rebuke. It saddens me that you decided to leave the church you will be missed along with your family and hard work you have put into the church.

We have done a lot of forgetting one is our community. Because of people leaving we won't be able to do, fund, and man programs to our community. Wow did we forget about them? Our church was strong because of the people working in unity and now we cannot do the same things. This is terrible.

Not only is FCC not going to be able to minister to our community but the world. We might have to drop missionaries, and funds will be pulled back from different things we donate to. So this split has angered God, Disobeyed a command, hurt our community, it has an effect around the world. Is this really worth all this, is a split the right things, are we choosing between the lesser of two evils.

Its time to forget what you think and forget what I think, and ask ourselves how is God being Glorified and what does he say? I don't think a church split can even be justifiable unless there is a major theological error. And some other stuff Ill get back to it later,,, maybe when I am going to do some blogging
