Student Life Day 1 and a half
We are at Toccoa Falls, Georgia for the Student Life Camp.
I would like to recap a message by the Conference Pastor Dave Rhodes from last night.
I just want to say he did a wonderful job and gave a very challenging and convicting message from Jeremiah 4.
He started out by talking about Warning Labels. It was hilarious.
What made it so funny was it was so true.
After many jokes he stated : Christianity should come with a Warning Label.
Here it is: Talking about the Way is different than walking in the Way.
He said, "You can have all the info about God, Jesus and Christianity but still not have a walk with Him.
-God is personal not an informational manager. We can make a 100 on the God Pop Quiz but still not walk with Him in a personal way. This leads to a ritual relationship with God instead of an intimate relationship with God.
Here are his points based on Jeremiah 4
3 This is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem:
"Break up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,
circumcise your hearts,
you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem,
or my wrath will break out and burn like fire
because of the evil you have done—
burn with no one to quench it.
1) Become breakable.
"Break up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.
Get the plow out and break up the fallow ground. This means the weeds of apathy have over grown ground that was supposed to produce life. But now it is untouched by anything. No one has been there. Not you, not God, not the Holy Spirit no one.
Are you broken? You should be.
2) Become vulnerable.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,
circumcise your hearts,
Peel back the layers of your hard heart. At this point Dave pulled out 2 oranges and stated that the oranges are like our hearts.
One orange he leaves with the peeling on the other he cuts in 4 pieces and peels. He said it is easy to come as an unpeeled orange but in order to become vulnerable with God we must allow ourselves to be exposed before God.
He then cut up the orange in 4 pieces and then peeled the pieces. In order to peel back we must be willing to be honest with God about our sin and stuff. This is incredibly messy and tough. Most don't want pay the price to become vulnerable and come clean with God. (Very good!)
3) Beware
"or my wrath will break out and burn like fire
because of the evil you have done—
burn with no one to quench it."
Beware if you don't the fire of God's wrath will come.
Here Dave used and illustration of a controlled burn. Many of you know what this is.
Dave did a really good job and he is a very anointed speaker. He also gave a good devo this morning. I am looking forward to tonight.
This morning our students worked at the local Salvation Army and Habitat House. Kevin choose the Mission track this year instead of playing water games. Great choice Kevin. Kevin is doing an incredible job with our Students.
Pray for us we will be working at these sites all week. We have awesome students.
Just on a side note Scott and I got lost trying to find our job site. I was giving directions!!! It took us and hour and 15 mins to find the Habitat location. It was 20 minutes away!
It just shows us what can happen when we go the wrong Way!
The theme for the week is "The Way"!

18For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Driscoll on Free Will
This is another video clip by Mark Driscoll. The topic is free will.
What do you think of Driscoll's view on free will. This clip is very short and he doesn't get into it to much but you get the basic idea of where he is going.
If you respond please use scripture for your defense.
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—
Ephesians 2

Quote of the Day
This quote is by one of may favorite preachers: James MacDonald. It is an older quote but still good.
"Sometimes our presentation of the gospel is so watered down that even the non-elect can't reject it."
