Jimmy — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:31:13 +0000

Posted in Love

Let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might [...]

That is the disease of the decreased motivation toward studies displayed by students who are nearing the end of their high school, college and graduate school careers and move forward in [...]

For as along as I can remember God has been calling me to leadership. Whether it was on a sports team, in the classroom, in my group of friends, or at church, God has called me to lead. The funny thing is I had no idea what that even meant. I have always tried to [...]

Posted in Evangelism Witnessing

I recently read a blog post by Jon Acoff. How much time do you spend with non-Christians? Really? How much time do you really spend with non-Christians? How much time is appropriate to spend with non-Christians? If you go to public school, then you probably spend most of your day with non-Christians, but do you actually hang out [...]

Posted in Discipleship Evangelism

Last week, during my small group, members talked about what it looks like to “go and make disciples.”(Matthew 28:19 ESV) Although, even a few long-time Christians seemed to have difficulty answering that question. Realizing this, I wanted to share with you readers some of the things that we talked about. Read: Romans 1:16 ESV, and Philippians 1:20 Here are [...]

Posted in Loneliness Self Image

Sometimes it can seem like nobody likes me. We all want to fit in and feel accepted—and being a teenager, these feelings are even more great. It makes life so much harder when we feel like we are not accepted, or alone. It makes it easy to think something is wrong with us. God has a [...]

Put your self in this story, here we have Jesus hanging on the cross, all is left is his mother and a few others still lingering around, weeping at the foot of the cross. A couple Roman soldiers come by to check on Jesus lifeless body. Just to make sure he was dead he plunges [...]

Tangible Love? That’s For The Missionaries.

Posted in Love

What do you think of when you hear the words tangible love? When I hear someone say tangible love, my mind first goes to missionaries. I don’t know why, but I do. I almost immediately pass the buck off to missionaries and completely forget that I even heard it mentioned. How sad… John 13:34-35 says for [...]
