TIME with GOD vs. TIME with STUFF

HELLO MY FRIENDS

Last night at the EDGE Youth Ministry we talked about Daniel. We talked about how he stood in the midst of great peer pressure and persecution. He was so faithful and devoted to God in prayer and life-style.

Then in our small group we went around and shared what has taken up most of our time this summer.

13-20 year olds spend most of their time on movies and video games during the summer.

Not many of the kids are spending time in their Bibles or in prayer. This is a little concerning. It starts with us though–the youth pastors.

Here’s a great quote:

"But my life is so short, and my meeting with the Lord face to face is so imminent and so real, and my desires to make a 100% return on God's investment of grace in my life are so strong, that I am just not interested in any kind of fellowship that does not help people explode with more love, more compassion, more joy, more holiness, and more zeal for God, and more boldness in witness, more power in ministry, more vision for missions."

SO – Let’s do it. Let’s lead the way :)
