A fresh encounter with Christ leading to heartfelt worship of him will do more for your lifestyle than all the appeals for morality youβll ever hear.
Mere moral appeals to do better canβt compare with the impact of renewed fellowship with him.

THE LOPES ARE DANCING FOR THE SECOND TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY.
Genuine Christian love should never be stifling, possessive & demanding, robbing the loved one of freedom.
Love that is controlling is utterly counter productive.
True love brings joy & freedom. Itβs not for you to feel wanted or needed.
At any given moment a teenager could either go viral or be cancelled. What extreme pressure Gen-z is under. Letβs approach them with the affection of Christ and His kindness - rather than harsh judgement and misunderstanding.
You don't have to go to Asbury for a move of God. Pray for your local high school or college where you are. Set time apart in your weekly rhythm to pray for Gen Z.
I had so much fun telling the story of Jesusβ birth alongside a few students on Sunday night! We spent some time looking at artwork from different cultures around the world depicting this beautiful truth that βthe Word became flesh and dwelt among us.β Hereβs one from Ethiopia!
We have to try and pursue the biblical model of church planting, not the Western one.
This will require different training, emphasis, and expectations. This will be hard.
Donβt only quote scriptures which challenge the ungodly culture around you.
Feed on scriptures that challenge you, your values & lifestyle.
The Bible isnβt meant simply to endorse your preferences.
Let it provoke & encourage you into greater Christlikeness.
Had the best time praying together as a church for the nations and hearing about all the exciting things going on with our NewGround family! Loved seeing @berlinNGchurch canβt wait to join you guys in a couple weeks to pray together β€οΈ
