Paying your dues
This morning in Sunday school we talked about jobs. And this got me thinking about the idea of "paying your dues." On the one hand, paying your dues and earning what you’ve got makes perfect sense. But in light of both Matthew 20 and my own experience I know that sometimes good stuff is handed…

Is this calling you?
Light Force students may remember Erik and Michelle who visited us last July. Well, they are now back home and this is their view of the South Pacific from their backyard.

re-run time
Starting to sound like a broken record here, but tonights Light Force was great. The talk was simple, yet solid (I thought anyway) and the "big secret" is that I didn’t get to practice because time crunched me today.

What should I do with my life?
It’s crunch time for our high school seniors. As the financial packages are coming together and the final choices are soon to be made… I am left with this from Jim Elliot. A bright future laid ahead of this young man, he could have done almost anything but he felt God’s call on his life.…

connect, connecting, and connected
unConnected The reality is that for every person who feels connected to a church or to "people like them" there are 10 who aren’t connected. This isn’t the end of the world, but it isn’t all that great either. If you’re a student and you’r unConnected than you are a floater. You’ve got plenty of…

3Story Life

This isn’t a major re-write or anything, I would call it more appropriately "re-arranging" the curriculum to suit our needs. 3Story has been slowly rolling out here at Romeo. I did the adult leader training last fall…

good times for LF and YMX
It was a good day for both things that I am a part of and care about. Tonight’s LF was pretty solid. A bit weird since there were some middle schoolers missing with a meeting at the schools, and there was a smell of "winter duldroms" since students were well, down. Weird, but OK and…

Inner City Impact: One of the best
Way back before Inner City work was hip, Bill Dillon started ministering to kids in the Inner city of Chicago. Now, 25+ years later, Bill’s vision of real ministry doing real discipleship is still plugging away one life at a time. I have grown to love this simple yet profound ministry. Their methods have never…

“Am I Cursed?”
Earlier this week in Light Force we looked at Luke 8 and discussed demon possession. The very next day, Dr. Phil talked about the same topic on his show. [See show] I tuned in during the early part of the show and actually agreed with a a lot of what he said. Primarily, I agree…
