Sounds strange? Ironic? Familiar?
As a Christian, one of the subtlest yet deadliest ways to fall into sin is skipping weekly church service. Why? The influences week in week out from sources like school, friends, television, movies, advertisements, Internet, magazines and books are not always spiritually healthy. Especially considering the influences of the mass media on youth culture. It often connects coolness with smoking, sex, drugs, rock, Satan-related styles, vengeance, aggression, rebellion, etc. In a way, attending church not only provides the right influences but also lead the weary, the griever and the lost to the ultimate Solace.
That is notwithstanding that we go to church with the right motive. Some of us go to church with the purpose of having fun and an opportunity to hang out with friends. Others go with intentions to get into a relationship. Although none of the reasons above are in and of itself wrong, yet they should never be the main purpose for attending services or church activities. The primary purpose should be to find God in our lives, to grow closer to Him, and to grow stronger in our inner man (Ephesians 3:16). So make it a point to go to church weekly and go with the right intentions. Who knows, you might just find yourself enjoying it!

Flesh and spirit
2 verses that impress upon my heart
recently is "judge not onto others and you
won't be judge" and "There is both the
flesh body and the spirit body"
Recently with all the meetings with
Friends and the other people. I realize
It's the flesh that's judging.
Putting all aside in my quiet time I realize
Lik what Damien said that God has his
Purpose for what and Is to come.
Pastor said today that we should find
Pleasure in our difficult times and we
Will find it. But only if we seek it.
Putting aside the serious stuff. YOUTH CAMP!!! wooohooo!!!!! I'm all excited about it!! It's gonna be BIG baby!! Nevertheless it's in God's hands.
PLEASEEEE GIVE SUGGESTIONS!
and let's make the first youth camp
The "BIG BANG!"
DON'T FORGET YOUR "CHI!" people!

Love
Love is patient, love I kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
