Summer is Here!

Hey RBC Youth!

Summer is here. I pray that you would fall deeper in love with Jesus this summer and that we would get over ourselves. This life is not about us, but about God and His glory. Check out these verses below:

Mark 8:34-38

and

Philippians 3:7-11

Read these verses and respond on this blog your own personal reflections of the challenges found in the scriptures. This life is not about us, but about giving our lives to the Lord in surrender. What does the word surrender mean?

I love Marvin the martian.

I want to remind you that we have our Magic Mountian trip on Tuesday June 19th and we meet at the church at 7am..... See ya this Sunday morning!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Busyness is the curse of our American culture. All I see are hurried people doing, doing, doing. Some people have to have their lives filled with stuff to even feel like they are doing something good.

And even today most Christians use this busyness as an excuse of the time they DO NOT spend with our LORD! God desires us to be the people of God before doing the thing of God! What I mean by this is it is most important to spend time with our Lord and meet with Him daily, then to be caught up in thinking that the Christian life is about being busy with the Lord's work. How do we know what to do for the Lord, if we are not spending time with Him.

Jesus spent time with the Father often. Luke 5:16 says Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. We need to make daily time and hang out with God. We need to dive into the Bible and talk with the Lord through prayer. And do not look at it as something needed to get done, but as an awesome opportunity to meet with the One True God! We need to be people that spend time with Jesus and not get caught up in the busyness of life. Maybe we need to cut some things out of our busy schedules so we can meet with the Lord!

What do you think?
