“Impress the young convert from the very beginning with the conviction that God has called him into His kingdom to struggle with the corruptions of his heart.”

WGTS is encouraging everyone who goes to the Chris Tomlin concert to wear red. Why? The radio station wants to make it a memorable experience for Chris Tomlin and the crew. When they are in other areas they will remember the people who wore red. So, wear red.

Also, I just received an email from the worship frequency website in regards to a special event planned before the concert starts. We will be able to attend a special question and answer session with the band two hours before the event. This will be a great opportunity for all of us going.

Hello everyone.

Youth Group starts on Wednesday, January 17, 2007. We will be meeting at 7:00pm and ending at 8:30pm.

Come out and join us.

We will be finishing Thinking like a Christian about Christian Worldviews.

This is the Never’s of the Gospel. I thought this was a great statement for the New Year

O Lord,
May I never fail to come to the knowledge
of the truth,
never rest in a system of doctrine, however
scriptural, that does not bring or further
salvation,
or teach me to deny ungodliness and
worldly lusts,
or help me to live soberly, righteously, godly;
never rely on my own convictions and resolutions,
but be strong in thee and in thy might;
never cease to find thy grace sufficient
in all my duties, trials, and conflicts;
never forget to repair to thee
in all my spiritual distresses and outward
troubles,
in all the dissatisfactions experienced in
creature comforts;
never fail to retreat to him who is full of grace
and truth, the friend that loveth at all times,
who is touched with feelings of my infirmities,
and can do exceeding abundantly for me;
never confine my religion to extraordinary
occasions, but acknowledge thee in all my ways;
never limit my devotions to particular seasons
but be in thy fear all the day long;
never be godly only on the sabbath
or in thy house, but on every day abroad
and at home;
never make piety a dress but a habit,
not only a habit but a nature,
not only a nature but a life.
Do good to me by all thy dispensations,
by all means of grace,
by worship, prayers, praises,
And at last let me enter that world where is
no temple, but only thy glory
and the Lamb’s.
