Hello SPY's

I am using this and facebook as a way to help make an important decision about the future of our youth program. I hope everyone will make an effort to help with this process and give me some feedback about our direction that is relevant and well thought out. Earlier this year,through prayerful direction, a decision was made to help St. Philip's transition to a growing church, and to help the needs of our congregation, as well as future members. We are starting a new Sunday night Bible Study program, which has created an opportunity to transition our youth program to be a more relevant and purposeful ministry to our youth throughout the week. However, with change comes resistance. People fear change and public speaking more than death. So with this change, we have had some people bring up some realistic fears, and some that are not so realistic. But the one common issue that keeps coming up is, "What is the best night for our program". I have wrestled with this one for months, and am now asking you for your advice. The only nights that are available for us to meet is Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Vote and let me know what works for your schedule and then we move forward and we become flexible to meet the needs of the youth. Thanks for your prayerful consideration. Poll Here =============>

Hey there SPY's.

I have the itch to write again, however I don't have the time to do much writing these days. Therefore I will just use this blog to get some of it out of my system. This last Sunday's lesson for the Senior SPY class is still resonating in my head. What does it take for us to be the evangelist that God has called us to be. How will we herald for him. I am challenged by this statement in my own life. Barry Keldie stated in a sermon in 2006 that we should embrace scripture where we are least like God in our lives. For Barry it was while he was in traffic! (I totally understand this one!) For the rest of us, are we embracing scripture at all. When was the last time I actually read my Bible to draw closer to God? Well, I find myself in the Word a lot, and more now than ever before, however I am spending my time in the word like it is a text book preparing for my next message to give to the SPY's. I am spending less time making my reading time personal. We as Christians have a bad habit of reading Scripture to find answers to the hard questions, or we read with the intent to see what God has in store for us. We often approach the entire process with America's famous "What's in it for me?" mentality. I challenge us both you and me to open our Bibles this week with the motivation of Jesus reveal yourself to me. Show me who you are, and let me draw closer to you!

Have a good week. Comment if you read this, and I'll give you a stick of Gum on Sunday!
