The 7 Mile Truth

You see a lot of stuff on television about what people “really” think happened to Jesus when he was crucified. For people who haven’t been made right with God by the forgiveness of their sins through Jesus’ blood, believing that a man named Jesus Christ could really rise up out of the dead 3 days after he was nailed to a cross sounds crazy. But there’s a few big problems: THERE REALLY WAS A MAN NAMED JESUS CHRIST, AND HE REALLY WAS CRUCIFIED FOR OUR SIN, AND HE REALLY DID RISE UP FROM THE GRAVE 3 DAYS LATER. Not even the History Channel could make this up…

Check out this clip from a sermon given by an awesome preacher named Matt Chandler about the 7 Mile Truth:

Quote for today!

What It Means When You Don’t Pray

“If you know you are needy and believe that God helps the needy, you will pray. Conversely, if we seldom pray, the problem goes much deeper than a lack of organization and follow through. The heart that never talks to God is the heart that trusts in itself and not in the power of God.  Prayerlessness is unbelief.

Prayerfulness, on the other hand, is an evidence of humility and faith, which is why God loves it when we pray.” – Kevin DeYoung, Prayerlessness is Unbelief

Awesome (FREE) Bible Software

Would you like to have the Bible on your computer so you can check it out anytime and any place?

So what’s the coolest thing since sliced bread? That would be E-Sword.

It’s awesome (because it’s the Word of God). And it’s free!

Did You Know?: Mama Didn’t Raise No Fool

Did you know that when the Bible talks about “fools”, especially in the book of Proverbs, it is not talking about people who are dumb?

Today, it’s easy to think that when someone is called a fool that’s just another way to say that they’re not the brightest pumpkin in the patch.

But when the Bible says that someone is a fool, it has a lot more to do with a person’s ability to recognize good from evil, and know the difference between godliness and worldliness.  God says that even supposedly smart people can actually be “fools” in reality. And even people who don’t have a lot of knowledge can really be “wise” when it comes to living a life that pleases God.

The good news for you is that faith in  Jesus Christ can make  you “wise unto salvation” (2 Timothy 3:15). We’ll talk more about what this looks like soon!

“Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it,
but the instruction of fools is folly.” – Proverbs 16:22

What is the Gospel?

Have you ever wondered what exactly people mean when they talk about “the Gospel”? The answer to that question is the most important thing you will ever consider. Your response to the Gospel really will change your life!  We talk about the truth of the Gospel every week in the YouthRoom, and we hear the Gospel preached every Sunday by our Pastor.

Here’s a preacher named John Piper with a great answer to the question, “What is the Gospel?”
