Top Ten: Missouri 2013
Here is the top ten list from the middle school trip to CEF Headquarters in Missouri: 1. The Cake–We celebrated Christa’s birthday while we were in Missouri and we had quite a party. It started with an encourgement circle, where we all shared one evidence of grace from Christa’s life. We then sang “Happy Birthday” while Bethany brought in a…
Dead to Sin
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. (Romans 6.6-7) We struggle. Even as youth leaders, we struggle. We do battle with sin. Life would be so much better (on so many levels) if we were finished with our…
Grace isn’t Fair
For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17) I like things fair. Do I want things to be equal and fair for everyone? Not really, I just want things to be fair for me. I want to make sure…

[9] For God has not destined us for wrath, but to…
Extra Assurance
“For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” -Romans 5:10 Some people are worriers. Some people are not. Some people worry about every little thing. Some people don’t even worry about those things one bit. Some people worry about danger, worry about…
Promises of God
“No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.” -Romans 4:20-21 In about 36 hours or so (and barring a Florida recount), we will find out who will be leading this country for the next four years. This has dominated phone lines,…
Awe of Jesus
“Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.” -Romans 3.31 Have you seen the jump Felix Baumgartner made last Sunday? If you have 91 seconds, you should take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34I. He sets the record for the highest jump ever, as he jumped from 24 miles above the earth. After hearing…
