The Middle Road

I have been struggling of late. On one end I am drawn to technology, to the latest and greatest of computers, cell phones etc.. and also to watch and see the latest movies when the come out.
The other end of me is a person seeking to grow as a Christ follower, knowing that God is calling me to a higher standard, a narrower road to travel then most choose.
How can we live in both worlds without a consistant struggle between the desires of the mind and the desires of the heart. You'll have to figure out which is which.

I know the more we fill our minds and lives with stuff, the easier it is to pursue gain and achieve goals and financial things but I also know our focus must first be on the one who created us and ultimately the things we pursue.

Some days I win the battle and others I dont fair so well, but I am always into win. I pray that we can move from the things of our world to the things of our God.

Small Groups matter

We are quickly approaching the 2008-2009 small group season for our junior and senior high students. The excitement is building. Our leaders are gearing up for another ministry season. God is blessing us with students who desire authentic relationships with each other and the leaders. We are seeing success with our sign up process and communications.
August 3rd we will meet with all of the senior high students to inform them and encourage them to sign up and gear up for the small group they will attend.
I know the importance of a small group of peers who love me, communicate me, encourage me and help me with accountability. I have been blessed over the years with a series of very compassionate people. God is so good to me and I pray that He will bless the small groups of Dearborn Hills and within each small group throughout the world.
So, get plugged into a small group today and invest in someones life.
