[...] Who are you; at home? at school? with friends? with family? when you are by yourself? in your thoughts? Integrity = Honesty. It’s not in just your actions but also in your thoughts – Philippians 4:8-9. Integrity in actions is important, but heart integrity comes first. It’s not just about moral behavior, but rather about life change. It is Christ transforming your life, rewiring your mind. Romans 12:1-2. Continue Reading [...]

Comment on How Far is Too Far by :: I Just Want My Pants Back : Wildwood Students

:: I Just Want My Pants Back : Wildwood Students — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:29:37 +0000

[...] The question everyone wants to know is, “How far is too far?” That’s the number one question I’m asked whenever I teach a series like this one. A lot of times people will say, “I understand what the Bible says, that you shouldn’t have sex until you’re married, but how far is too far?” When we ask this question, let me tell you what this question does. When you ask, “How far is too far?” you treat sex as a game. How far can I go? If I know that I can’t score, what else can I do?” If there’s anything we’ve been talking about in this series it’s that God has a great design, plan and purpose for love, dating and sex and that none of them are a game to play.

Comment on Straight Talk About Sex by :: I Just Want My Pants Back : Wildwood Students

[...] Tonight my goal is really simple. I just want to shoot straight with you and tell you what God’s Word has to say about sex. We’ve talked about love and dating and relationships over the past few weeks, but now we’re going to jump right in and talk about something that is being talked about all the time in some form or fashion. Chances are you don’t even realize but sex is on the radio, on TV, in movies, on the internet and even used in advertising. But did you also know that sex can be found in the Bible? And if it can be found there – then that is where we want to go. Read More [...]

Comment on A Call to Prayer-Week 5 by :: A Call to Prayer : Wildwood Students

:: A Call to Prayer : Wildwood Students — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:35:40 +0000

[...] Many times when we are praying to God, the idea of God being our Father is perhaps one of the last things that enters our minds. We often think of him as harsh, against us; or perhaps compassionate or charitable. But our Father? Can we even get our minds around such a notion? Yet when Jesus prays and teaches us to pray—this is of utmost priority. The very foundation of prayer itself. Maybe we’ve been missing out on a deep prayer life because we don’t get this.

[...] I told you I would share a bit of what God taught me while on Sabbatical and one of those areas He really pushed in to my heart was regarding my communication with Him. We know this as prayer. Here’s the short story – I really enjoy reading the Bible. In fact, I really enjoy reading the Bible and all kinds of other Christian books and books on ministry. And I would rather read than pray. And so even though I’ve always been consistent in meeting the Lord in the mornings, a lot of my time with Him centered around reading His Word. Not bad, I guess, other than this tug on my heart to pray – and pray more. Continue Reading [...]

Comment on God’s Original Design by :: I Just Want My Pants Back : Wildwood Students

:: I Just Want My Pants Back : Wildwood Students — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:07:20 +0000

[...] It’s the month of love… in fact, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and so we are going to use the next few weeks to talk about love… and relationships, dating and sex. There is no doubt that there is quite a bit of confusion when it comes to these topics. And the problem is not a lack of information… it’s just trying to figure out what is the correct information. And so my big goal for you in this series is not just to present information, but I really hope that you will engage and even dialogue with me each week. Now, I have plenty to say and could spend and hour each week just talking and still not have enough time to share all God says. But I want this series to be a conversation where we can learn together. Read More [...]

Comment on Refuel-3 by :: REFUEL : Wildwood Students

:: REFUEL : Wildwood Students — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:06:47 +0000

[...] So let’s jump right in tonight. We are wrapping up this series called “Refuel” where the big idea has been that God not only created and loves you, but He desires to have a relationship with you. And the God of the universe doesn’t want a distant relationship with you, but he wants an up-close, spiritual, and intimate relationship. You and I can have that and be filled with him. We can be spiritually refueled all the time because the presence of God is right here. Continue Reading [...]

Comment on Refuel-2 by :: REFUEL : Wildwood Students

:: REFUEL : Wildwood Students — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:26:54 +0000

[...] So we started this series last week with the hope of learning what does it mean to live in connection with Jesus Christ. If you follow Him, I’m sure you would say two things: 1. It is important to you to have a relationship with Jesus and communicate with Him regularly and 2. You try really hard at that connection, but don’t feel like you have much success. As I told you last week, I am definitely speaking out of my own personal struggles, failures and even successes in this area. It’s been a lifelong journey for me to try to understand how to walk in faith and live in connection with my Savior Jesus Christ. And that desire for connection for me has come out of a joy and happiness in my Savior – who He is and what He has done for me and not some sort of duty. Continue Reading [...]

[...] People train and compete for variety of reasons. They value the reward of participation. They enjoy the benefits of competition. They like the company of their teammates. And the thrill of winning is a “rush” that’s difficult to explain. But people mainly train and compete because there is a goal. There is something to accomplish. Continue Reading [...]

[...] Jesus says some pretty crazy things in Scripture. Most of the time, honestly, I just don’t get it. Here are two examples of verses I struggled for a while. John 10:3,5 & John 16:23-24. What do these things mean? How could I possibly come to understand and tell the difference between God’s voice and the enemy’s voice? Continue Reading [...]
