This is a weekly church service geared for young poeple, but attracting ALL people in Alabama, and across the country. What if we all had this kind of excitement and energy when it came to our relationship with Jesus, and the way we communicated it to others? Imagine the possiblities of a truly unashamed, excited, passionate generation of young people truly in love with Jesus and what He’s done for them! They’re endless! The common theme however for all of us, is to live out our faith quietly, and REST on knowing we’re going to heaven one day, and wandering through life looking for the next thing, and the next thing that will entertain us for the time being. All to often, we (I) see things like www.thebasementonline.com and I wish they were here in our area, when I (we) should instead be thinking about and strategizing about how I (we) can start it up right here!

Hey fellas! (and any ladies who read this)
This “letter” was posted by a youth pastor I know from New Hampshire. You can check out his blog here if you choose to…

It’s written with young men in mind, and I thought in light of the series we just started, “I-Life” which focuses on relationships, it might be good read, and perhaps provoke some thoughts. Lemme know what comes from it, if anything…

Dear Teenage Boys, (actually, let me call you young men, I know being a teen you must hate being called a boy…)
The truth is you are becoming men. That being said, there are some responsibilities that you need to step into. I know, I said it, that dreaded word – RESPONSIBILITY. As scary as the word may be, it’s time to face the facts. You are responsible for some things now. To make matters worse, your responsibilities will only grow from here on in. It doesn’t get easier so I hope you really enjoyed the carefree days of your youth.
For the rest of your life you will be faced with choices. Choices that bring with them consequences, Choices that effect more people than just yourself. Choices that can either set you up to have a great future and choices that can make your life far more difficult than it is meant to be. How do you make your decisions? Do you just “go with your gut”? Are your choices made purely by how you feel? If it makes you happy will that be the choice that you make? Do you ask others for advice? Do you seek any guidance at all?
