@gatortebowfan15 yeah - lots of confusion for that one

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Students don’t need leaders who are adults, but act like teenagers. They need leaders who act like adults, but care about teenagers.

@VerizonSupport There is no service for ANYONE in south Ga who uses Verizon. No phone calls, text or data… luckily i have internet through another company so I can get online. But there is no service

[Verizon Support @VerizonSupport]

@YMDrew I am so sorry to hear of any service issues. Let's get this figured out as we are not showing any outages or trends in the area provided. When did this problem start? Anyone else experiencing this issue? Does the device show no service or your can't use a specific function? -AL

a deeply divided culture desperately needs a deeply united church.

[Jonathan Howe @Jonathan_Howe]

Student ministry shouldn’t be seen as a stepping stone to a pastorate.

[Tony Evans @drtonyevans]

God is not going to bless a country or a culture that comes up with its own rules and asks Him to bless it.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

church is not an event we go to.

the church is who we are.

#BeTheChurch

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

generation Z are non-religious, but they’re not anti-Church.

these two things are true:

1. students are not going to stumble into our church buildings accidentally.

2. they are open to coming if someone they know invites them.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

if a student ministry is ran like a “church within a church”..

then, when a teen graduates out of that student ministry, it feels like they’re having to go join a different church.

that’s why many leave.

it’s ONE church. multi-generations.

find ways to be on mission together.

[Drew Yates @YMDrew]

@MickeyViews I did! Was wondering what that was... maybe a spotlight or something

[Drew Yates @YMDrew]

@_YMLink Getting to invest more in my students and watch how God works through them!

[Richard Blackaby @richardblackaby]

The church today is not perfect. Nor has it ever been. But God has never introduced a Plan B for working out His purposes in the world. So find an imperfect church and invest yourself in making it better!

[Justin Peters @JustinPetersMin]

There is no white church. There is no black church. There is no brown, yellow or red church. There is only Christ’s church; purchased by Christ, built by Christ, headed by Christ, for the glory of Christ.

[Richard Blackaby @richardblackaby]

At least 66% of people who regularly attended church as teenagers are leaving before they graduate from college. Churches must disciple their young people differently as well as provide a more compelling model of the Christian life for them!

Christianity isn't true because it works. It works because it's true.
