Back to School: Worship and Obedience
“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” (1 Sam. 15:22,...

Back to School: An Attitude of Surrender
Worship, in the Bible, is serious business. It is not a matter of personal taste, nor is it a matter of doing one’s own thing or following one’s own proclivities. Though there is always the danger of falling into dead rituals and traditions that become ends in themselves instead of the means to an end—and that end is true worship of the Lord in a way that changes our lives and brings us into...

What is your attitude? Are you preparing for that great meeting? Or will you be left infected with the culture of our time? Your response is critical, for ‘scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.’ (2 Peter 3:3)

Be transparent.
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1 Tim 4:12
Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching…

Jesus Is LORD: The Missional Youth Group →
christisenough:
The best way to ground young people in the Word and to empower them for future ministry is to involve them in a mission-based youth group. By mission-based, I am not implying that the teenagers would be going on monthly mission trips or doing weekly door-to-door evangelism. I use the…

I notice that everytime someone talks about this verse they talk about guarding their hearts towards relationship/friendship. Yep, thats true, but it seems like everyone forget to guard their heart from this world. Guard your heart from the devil so he wont get in. guard your heart from your flesh…

My Testimony
I wrote this for my Personal Evangelism class in 2008. It wasn’t that long ago, but it was such a blessing to remember where God has brought me from and I pray that it will be a blessing for you too.
Before I accepted Christ, my life lacked direction. I went to school, came home and I watched TV all day. I kinda liked school, but I didn’t really fit in, at least into my own class. I always...

Hebrews 9:6-8: Help Wanted -- We need a Mediator
Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, show us who You are in Your holy Word, and show us who we are and who we should be in You. Feed us with a Word or words, a sustaining, life-giving word that will bless all who read this, in Christ’s name, Amen.

Back to School: God loves a cheerful giver!
Read Exodus 35. What is happening here, and what important lessons can we take from this for ourselves in regard to the whole question of worship?
Notice the emphasis on the word willing. God said, “whoever is of a willing heart” (Exod. 35:5, NKJV), and everyone “whose heart was stirred” (Exod. 35:21, NKJV) responded. This means that there was no fire and thunder and loud voice from Sinai...

Back to School: The First 'God With Us'
“ ‘You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which You have made for Your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established’ ” (Exod. 15:17, NKJV).
This is the first mention in Scripture of a sanctuary. It was sung as part of the song of deliverance by the children of Israel after their escape from Egypt. The verse talks...

Yes, God cares about starving children. But He also cares about you, and He wants to participate in your dreams…Thousands of bodies lie along the path to success, like dry leaves blowing about in the wind of failure.
