The Key to Refreshment: Relinquish

What is making you weary? Is it your job? Is it your family? Is it your finances? Whatever it is, it needs to be relinquished. Carrying that heavy burden on your back is not doing anyone any good, and it is especially harmful to you.

Maybe you are stressed. Maybe you always have to be in control, and your circumstances are showing you how little control you really have. Maybe you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Maybe, every time you talk to one of the kids in your ministry, their problems and burdens only add to your own pile that is surely to overwhelm you at any moment. Take heart. Help is on the way.

Basis of Christianity

I believe the basis of our Christian faith relies on two questions… “Who is God” and “What is truth?” Yes, our faith is based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ – believing that He died and rose again for our sins – but until we can answer these two questions from a Biblical perspective, it is impossible for us to experience an authentic relationship with Christ. God and truth have become relative in today’s society. In other words, we have created our own gods and designed our own truth...

Setting the Bar for Youth Ministry

As youth pastors, workers, and volunteers we must set the bar high. We can have fun, laugh and joke about life, run them until they are dead tired, and feed them until they explode, but are we filling them with God’s Word and setting a Christ-like example with everything we do and say?

Iron Man 2: Sins and How it Affects Us

I became a huge fan of Iron Man when the first one came out in 2008. It is still one of my favorite movies in my collection today.

I always find it interesting the spiritual allegories we find in movies. Sometimes it’s a stretch to name them allegories but sometimes they just jump off the screen at you.

Hear me out – IM2 is NOT a Christian movie and there’s plenty of things in the movie to remind us it’s not. However there are some strong allegories we cannot ignore.
