Every One His Witness

"When we try to fit God into our life movie, the plot is all wrong-and not just wrong but trivial. When we are pulled out of our own drama and cast as characters in his unfolding plot, we become part of the greatest story ever told." -Michael Horton in Churchless Christianity (first posted by Jeffrey Thormodson)

Easter cookies packaged and ready to distribute this morning. Blessed Easter everyone!

Mission is the very lifeblood of the church. As the body cannot survive without blood, so the church cannot survive without mission. Without blood the body dies; without mission the church dies. As the physical body becomes weak without sufficient oxygen-carrying red blood cells, so the church becomes anemic if it does not express its faith. The church . . .establishes its rationale for being—its purpose for existing—while articulating its faith. An unexpressed faith withers. A Christian fellowship without mission loses its vitality. Mission is the force that gives the body of Christ vibrancy, purpose, and direction. When the church neglects its role as God’s agent for mission, it is actually neglecting its own lifeblood. ~ Gailyn Van Rheenen, Missions: Biblical Foundations and Contemporary Strategies (first posted by Jeffrey Thormodson)

At CrossYouth we played "Stacks" a fun games with 14 dice each of six different colours. Very fast and a real challenge. We also discussed how a two year old reasponds to authority and how we are some times like that in responding to God's love in Jesus. Hearing, seeing, and following God are actions of disciples of Jesus. Next youth group is Friday, April 28 at 7 pm.
