Living Lives of Submission

So I wanted this blog to be out sooner, but I haven't been feeling well. Today I officially stopped fighting it off, and now I am home from the office sick. Please pray for me if you can!! :).

Anyways, I'm working on continuing my study of The Epistles of Peter. I remember I kept thinking to my self, if I read on chapter a week, and write about my thoughts on that chapter, this should be simple. Man I am busy though. Between everything that goes on at church, and in the youth ministry, and just in general with life. taking an hour or so to write about a chapter is a lot harder than it seems. Reading the chapter is easy, i usually get that done four or five times, but sitting down and writing isn't so easy.

Blog posting two days in a row... what is this world coming too!

This one will actually be quick. So many times when things go wrong I tend to cry out to God, and when things go amazingly well, I tend to slack off a little bit in my faith, but today I want to make sure that God gets glory. You see this morning, I woke up at 7:10am, usual day, however I was slightly concerned about the fact that I hadn't heard from anyone whether or not we had a vehicle to get Pizza for our Pizza lunch.

Pizza lunch is a ministry that we do here at the church that was slowly dying. I don't really know what to do to get students to come out. There are many low income families that go to the school next door, so we offer a cheap lunch of pizza, and while they are here, they can play basketball, there is a lounge, lots of music playing, etc. It's a great way for me to meet the youth, and for them to get to know the youth at the church.

Living Stones

AddThis Social Bookmark Button
So this week I have continued in my reading in 1 Peter. I didn't have any major theological inspiration like I did last week, but I did come across a beautiful image when it talks about Jesus being the cornerstone. I hope that this image can encourage you as much as it encourages me.
You see, years and years ago I went to a conference where living stones was the whole theme. I didn't really care much for church back then, I just liked the people that I hung out with (specifically the girls I hung with... I definitely had the wrong motivations for church). I remember this being the theme, but it's unfortunate that I didn't think of it the same way.
