I have made up my mind that one year I will count the number of miles our youth group travels, between youth days, and service projects, and trips just for fun, we spend a lot of time each year on the road. There are a lot of notable events, we are fortunate to have young people that attend both ICYC and Backwoods camp each summer and spend a week there learning and studying from their bibles. We have some young people that go to leadership camp each summer as well and some of our young men will learn to prepare lessons, while our young ladies will learn how to teach children’s classes, ect. We attend youth days all over the state, and even travel to other states to be a part of events where our young people can study the word of God with others their age. Read More

 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. (1 Peter 4:1-2)

I remember when I was a kid the old McDonalds commercial would come on saying “what you want is what you get”. It’s a great thought, and we live in a world now where it is literally a what you want is what you get. Sometimes we want more money, sometimes more free time, sometimes more family time, you can name your own list of the things you want. But for most of us, we realize that what you want is not always what you get. The same is true of God, not that God does not have the power to get whatever he wants, but we know there are things which God desires above all, for example God desires “all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim 1:4), but we know from the sermon on the mount Jesus said there is a narrow way which leads to eternal life, and there will be FEW who will find it. With that being said, these are four of MANY possible points, but four which were presented by my friend Dale Jenkins: Read More

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might

 Over the past couple of months I consider myself to be a very blessed person. How great is it to work with the absolute greatest group of young people that ever existed? I have a privilege that many of you do not have. I get to spend time with our kids. I get to see them grow spiritually, and I see them grow physically.  I am honored to be asked to come watch them at sporting events, at concerts, recitals, to have devotional time with each of them, to spend time studying the word of God with them, and to watch as they invite and begin their work in the church. I can not think of anything more rewarding. Our kids work hard, and play hard to. Read More

By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, (Heb 11:24).

 I can remember the famous saying, and my grandparents said it quite a few times, my parents said it too, and I never really thought about it until recently. Are you ready for the quote? Here it is: “If you lie down with dog’s, you will wake up with fleas”. Sounds kind of, well, simple, but for a kid it seemed to be such a great illustration. It was a great illustration to myself in the company I keep. Usually this was said when I chose to hang around those that my family may not have approved of. It was always a constant reminder that people know us by the company we keep. How true that is. Two things to mention today about the company we keep Read More
