Eat a TON of Cereal With no Consequences

2012-02-10T10:17:00.001-05:00

Like Cheerios? GOOD Enjoy Mini Wheats? AWESOME The only problem is these cereals have 2-3 points per 1 cup! That stinks. But, there is a way to stretch that flavor and enjoy twice the volume of food for half the calories. The secret is to S-T-R-E-T-C-H the flavor. Add 1 cup of bran cereal or puff wheat rice cereal. Yeah, alone, they may not be the tastiest but when added to your favorite

Coffee by itself is actually not bad for you, but when diluted with our own preferences it becomes very bad very quick. Truth is, the truth within God's word is the same. Its

People started avoiding me because I was judgmental and

That was before I actually did some research. Now I can say that having one seems to be a huge addition to productivity in Student Ministry. Here is a list of my top 10 fav apps for the iPad when it comes to student

Are you wrong in celebrating Christmas?

2010-12-17T12:56:00.010-05:00

It seems there has always been an ongoing debate about the validity of Christmas. Should we celebrate it? Are we sinning if we do? Why are many of the opponents of Christmas so forceful and uncompassionate about their stance on Christmas? Ok, lets unpack this. To start off lets be honest. Christmas has its roots in paganism. Call it what it is. It dates back to a celebration of the “Sun God” in

To iPad or not to iPad

2010-11-20T23:30:00.008-05:00

Just the other day I made the decision to seriously consider the iPad. As a youth minster I see several practical uses for an iPad in the ministry. For starters. When leading worship it is so much quicker to simply swipe your finger on the ipad to change the sheet music. Also, many times my talks are delivered in dim to very low light and I have to have my notes on a stand with a light to see

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,the Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

I'm finding out, however, that lots of pastors and youth pastors rail on YL because of its seemingly secular draw and competitive nature against church. To this mindset I will unpack my thoughts.

She was apparently kind of a cutie and he, knowing it was wrong, planned out and executed the raping of his step sister.

Sinful Responses to sin - Taken from Mark Driscoll and applicable to us all. Some people love to minimize their sin – its not that big of a deal. “Yes I did it, big deal” Thinking your the Exception to the rule- its true for everybody else, but I'm the exception. Everyone thinks their the exception. No one is. Blame shifting your sin - “it's not my fault, its theirs.” “He/She made me do it.”

Sometimes patience and the ability to forgive is tried on a critical level in our lives. When you can't take it anymore go to God's word. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever one sows, that will he/she also reap. For the one who sows to his/her own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Gal 6:7-8
