Time for a Change

As I go through things and as you get to know me you will realize I like change. I am considering implementing several changes right now so why not start with the appearance of this here blog? Change the little logo and colors and such. Not sure that I am happy with it all yet but I will get there soon enough. In the next few weeks I will be rolling out a new website along with many new exciting announcements so stay tuned.

Coming Out...


This week we started our new series called "Coming Out of the Closet" in our youth group. No not that closet! The Christianity closet; you know the one where we keep our faith so not to offend others.

This week we looked at how we share the gospel with others. Or even if we do share the gospel with others. What do we do? Do our actions tell others we are faithful?

Answer these simple questions then tell me if you keep your faith in the closet:


  • Do you pray over your food at home?

  • What about in a restaurant?

  • What about at school or work?

  • What about when you go to a business meeting?

If you answered no to any of the questions then ask yourself why?

Bottom line we get too hung up on what others think instead of what God thinks, so we decide to place our faith in the closet. In Matthew 5:14-16 we are called to be the light that shines for others, are you that light or do you only shine that light in the closet?

I challenge you to come on out, its ok.
