Tonight we start our Friday Night Fellowship. Jason is going to be bringing along his brother Brandon. I really hope and pray this fellowship holds up. If we let ourselves falter and fall to the hands of glorifying sin then I'm a failure and a lukewarm Christian. I'd rather not know God at all and be cold than to be lukewarm.
I trust in God that we'll go through the awesome Book of Romans tonight and he'll lead us into a great night of fellowship.
DFlow,
Over and out!
Greetings!
Wow, I can't believe it's been forever since I've last blogged. Well, just to catch up on things, the past few months I've been really caught up in the world. Going out a lot on the weekends and drinking a lot. Drinking isn't a sin, but the actions from it are. Let's be serious here, I was being a very lukewarm Christian by being caught up like that.
Well, this past Tuesday, a best friend of mine, Jason, attended our Tuesday Bible study with us. He completely felt at home and suddenly became on fire for God. Gerry and I have been praying for him for a while for him to come back to the Lord. He's a Christian who just lost his way and was scared to come back. I pray that he sticks with this as he continues to re-strengthen his walk with the Lord.
This Friday, Gerry, Jason, and I are starting an alternative to typical Friday weekend nights. Rather than going out and partying and drinking, we're going to get together and study the word of the Lord, starting with The Book of Romans. It's a fellowship for us Twenty Something year olds. Aside from studying, we'll be practicing our music skills playing on the guitar, which I seriously need to stop putting off, and going out to dinner and whatever comes after.
I pray that God works through us and that we're able to bring more people in. It's a ministry that I feel God has spoken for us to do. To help fellow Christian Brothers/Sisters break free from the standard lifestyle of the world. Rather than going to the bars and glorifying sin, why don't you come join us and glorify God on a Friday night instead? Break free from it. Show the Devil that he doesn't have a hold on you. Let's get this revival going!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
BREAK FREE FROM IT!!! If you're a Christian and your circle of friends consist of what was described, get away from them and surround yourself with those like you. Don't let the Devil hold you down.
Here's a song from Hillsong United that I'll leave you with.

Shhhh....
Just breathe in and just imagine the Holy Spirit working through this wonderful night of worship last night with Hillsong United in SD.
I'm still amazed at the power of God. How can you not believe in God? All of the people in this building all carry some sort of brokeness, pain, and whatever else it may be and also at different degrees. Yet, we all are crazy enough to have faith and believe that our God saves and delivers us when we need him the most, and indeed he does.

Tap into that inner...
Norrie says that girls love a$$holes and thinks that I can be an a$$hole if I wanted to. She tells me that I need to stop being a pushover. Wow, that was definitely a kick in the balls. I think I'm going to take her advice and tap into that inner a$$hole and see where that takes me. Always a good time when she comes down and kicks it. I heart Norrie!
Going to try being an a$$hole for a week or two. Locked in. Let's go!!!

In order to be truly blessed, you must be broken...
It's just in reference when we accept communion and the true meaning behind the act of the blessing and the breaking of the bread.
Mark 14:22
As they were eating, Jesus took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat, this is My body."
Meaning, the breaking of his (Jesus) body being broken and dispersing it to his disciples blessing them with the covenant of what his broken body and his dying will mean.
So when we're broken, we take part and understand the blessing of why Jesus died for our sins establishing the new covenant with God and us.

The Coffee Shop Ministry Project
Broken into groups of 4, our small group today is branching out to coffee shops and will try to minister and witness to those that are not saved and would like to know more about God.
For me, this is the first time I've really ventured out and tried to witness to strangers. Jae and Lynda, our small group leaders, provided us a question guide that we can follow in regards to discussion. Our point of emphasis in this ministry is to discuss the Lord amongst our group and hopefully someone who is listening will join in.
In a time where a more liberal and democratic government exists, it would be very difficult to actually just walk up to a stranger and try ministering to them without offending them or causing any other type of uneasiness.
So by just a regular discussion of the Lord in the coffee shop, we look to aim and gain interest from those listening. Come on, you know coffee shops, people are always talking, and yes, people are always listening. This could possibly be an interesting way to approach non-believers without directly going to them.
I'm really excited to do this tonight. I experienced my first homeless ministry with my small group and I absolutely loved it. The feeling of helping those who have nothing and downtrodden really humbled my heart and soul. To hear some of their stories were amazing also. Granted, not all of them were very understanding and were demanding food and gave some attitude, but that's just a product of bitterness and frustration in which all we could do, is pray for them.
Father God, tonight, I hope that you empower RJ, Gerry, my sister, and I as we go about amongst the world and spread your word. May you protect us from those who judge us in our faith in you, but we pray that you may humble and soften their heart so that they may give us their ears for us to minister your word.
For you said, Mark 6:11, "And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gamorrah in the day of judgement than for that city."
For we pray this in Jesus' most precious name,
Amen.
