Hey Guys,
Just got this from my brother this week. Comin' at us from the South! haha=) Right on, bro!
Youth Leaders, I hope you're encouraged by this example as you put together your testimonies and presentations of the Gospel (Check out the last blog for more details of what we want you to do). Try to get your presentation uploaded to youtube and sent to me soon=) We want to hear what God's done in your life, and we want to see what God's called you to share. We want lots of different presentation styles, but one message communicated---that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). Use your story for God's Glory.
Sometimes it's easy to get discouraged when we look around at society and see so many people "worshiping" friends, money, fame, their jobs, sex, security, leisure time, their egos, etc., rather than seeking to live their lives based on the Bible. But recently I was reminded of 1 King 19:18, when God speaks to the prophet Elijah, who felt like he was all alone serving God. God told Elijah: "Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal." God is a faithful God, and He loves us even when we do not demonstrate our love for Him. So we need to remember God's consistency, and we need to remember that we're not alone as we represent Him. Other people are Repping the King even when you feel like you're the only one. So keep the faith, and encourage others around you as well! (Hebrews 10:23-24 Style). Maybe you can share this or one of the other videos on our website with someone today!
Grace and Peace,
Josh
