Book Study: “The Grace and Truth Paradox” (chapter 9 and Conclusion)

Free files for youth pastors:

I don’t want my students to be either a bunch of theoogical egg-heads or a group of jerks walking around and debating theology. I so desire them to be like Christ. I want them to be full of grace and truth just like Jesus is (John 1:14). I want my students to be able to love a Mormon, to give to an Atheist, to help a Muslim, etc. At the same time, I want my students to defend the truths of Scripture, the proclaim the gospel, and to be willing to die for Christ. I pray for them to be full of grace and truth like Jesus. Continue reading ‘Book Study: “The Grace and Truth Paradox” (chapter 9 and Conclusion)’

“Simon says, ‘Read this blog.’” Yeah, I love playing Simon Says with students. I don’t do it often because it gets old and the students learn all my tricks very quickly. “Simon says, ‘Raise your arms in the air. Now put your arms down.’” Those who raised their arms in the air stay in the game, those who put their arms down are out of the game. My personal favorite is “Simon says, ‘Jump up.” That’s a sure fire way to put everyone out of the game…because Simon never said to come back down! When thinking through the doctrine of sin, we must understand that an unsaved person is a slave to sin and will do whatever sin tells them to do.

Do you ever get tired of the same old, same old when it comes to youth curriculum? I don’t know about you, but I get so frustrated with the low expectations writers and publishers have on teenagers. Do they think teenagers aren’t studying British Literature, Calculus, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Advanced Grammar, Western Civilization, etc? If these students are studying those tough courses in school, no wonder they are bored in church with the shallow and watered-down lessons, studies, and sermons we give them!

When I was visiting some people in the hospital last week, I noticed a college aged girl who was walking in a group of people…but she was limping pretty badly. I guess it didn’t throw me off to badly since I had already seen one patient walking around in a construction hard-hat and another walking around in furry-bunny slippers. A minute or two after the group had passed, the girls came walking back towards us again, this time all by her lonesome. She stopped and asked me if I knew where the emergency room was. Apparently, this girl had been walking around the hospital with a torn ACL…looking for the emergency room! She definitely needed immediate attention since her knee was swollen to the size of a honeydew melon. But what if someone walked in with a gun-shot wound, or a woman in labor, or someone vomiting, or someone with diarrhea (yeah, I’m going to stop there)? Which one should get attention first, second, third? Hospitals have developed a system for these kinds of dilemmas called “triage.” Triage comes from a French word meaning “to sort.” And this system will help us theologically.

Right now our church is working on a revival in November. We as a church staff have gotten together and made plans, we’ve called the evangelist who’s coming, we’re talking to schools in the area to get him in, etc. Notice how we first wanted to have a revival here, then next we put plans in place to have it. From before the beginning of creation, God’s first thought was how He wanted all eternity to look, and then He put His plans in place to make it happen. Eternity isn’t just the last thing on God’s list, but it was the very first thing on His mind. Continue reading ‘Framework #18 – MACRO Theology – Doctrine of the End Times’

I close friend told me a story once where he was playing golf with an unbeliever on a Sunday evening since his church had canceled the worship service for that night. He simply remarked to his friend on the course, “It just doesn’t feel like Sunday right now to me.” His unbelieving friend turned his head and replied back, “Why, because you don’t have to go to church tonight?” Is that the way we are tempted to think about the church? Is it a place that we have to go? It is a just requirement in our life? Should it be a people rather than a place? Continue reading ‘Framework #17 – MACRO Theology – Doctrine of the Church’

I stood there almost lifeless from the aftershock of what I had just heard. I was recently at an FCA gathering of students at a local high school and heard the speaker say, “Everyone bow your heads, close your eyes, and repeat this prayer after me. Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner. I know that You say if I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart, then I will be saved. I do. Thank you for saving me. Amen.” Then the speaker asked everyone who said the prayer to tell the youth leaders in the group that they just committed their life to Christ. WHAT?! No one knew what this guy was going to pray. I even heard youth pastors repeating the prayer! Is this real salvation? Is this all God expects? Is it just this easy? I’m still shocked!
