Pastor Bob's comment elaborated...

If you were at first service on sunday you already heard this from my dad... if not... read onnn!
This past weekend I went down to San Diego with my dad...we went to Seaworlddd<3>
We went to the dolphin show. And boy, these dolphins could do sweet tricks...let me tell ya! But the thing is that when you see these animals with there trainers they look like they have an outstanding amount of love for them and they have this "bond" with each other. But when you think about it the reality is that they are just doing these tricks because they are getting fish. Now, when we go to church...do we actually go to church to go to church? Or do we just go to see our friends and hang out and color on our point sheets? As a Christian, we need to go to church for God, not for friends, or ourselves. In Galations 2:21 it says: I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
When you go to church, Focus on bobby or mike or whoever is sayingg!!! LISTEN TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING! For it will help you in the long run!

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

God bless<3

Revival 07

WOW! Where do I possibly begin! Well this past week my church went to camp up in Lake Isabella. It was sooo much fun! I mean I would tell you what we did there but trust me, it would be sooo much easier if I told you what we didn't do... We didn't text message, email, blog, shop, or be lazy bums! Every single day people were out on the lake inter tubing, wake boarding, scurfing and doing all this stuff without the usuall peer pressure of the world telling them to just stay at home. I am soo blessed! I met sooo many cool new people that are on fire for God and are such role models to me personally!

Now, when i say this don't think that this camp was just fun and games...because it wasn't! I mean sure we had fun! Why do you think I wrote that whole first paragraph?? We were in the Bible 24/7!! Every single minute of every single day! It was soooo uplifting! Our Senior Pastor was nice enough that he actually went with our High School group up to the lake and we had these in your face sermons every single night! He talked about who God is, what a "real" Christian is, and the most impacting for me was about God taking every broken rule personally! That just hit me in the gut! That every time I lie, or think bad thoughts I am hurting my heavenly Father! Ahhhhh! Thats not how it is supposed to work! As a Christian we are supposed to want to please God all the time! In 1 John 5:3 it says; This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome. It says right there, in the text, love for God is obeying His commandments! I don't think John could've made it anymore clear!

Another thing that stood out to me when Pastor Mike was preaching was when he said, "faith is more than just believing." That just kinda caught me off guard! In James 2:14 it says; What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? And in Acts 20:20-21 it says; You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. Repentance and Faith are the two things that Revival 07 were really all about!

Revival 08 babyyy I cant wait!!! =]
