The One Another Commands

Woops. I didn't create the link correctly the first time. This is just a word document with the references for the one another commands from scripture if you would like it. You can right click on the link and download it now.

Extreme Life Together

I am preaching tonight at Project 196 (a new service specifically targeting 18-30 year olds here at Kadena) about Life Together. The title comes from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work, Life Together. Below is a link to a 4 minute video clip that is really powerful about Life Together.

Not related to my message tonight but an interesting quote from Bonhoeffer.

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Pledge to Purity

Last night we hosted a Pledge to Purity Banquet for about 85 students and 200 people altogether. It was a great night to give students the opportunity to think about their future and make a committment to remain sexually pure until marriage.

Our speaker had each of the students write a letter that to their future spouse and to their God. The letter was sealed with a wax seal and given to their parents. Each parent is to safeguard the letter until the wedding day of their child and then present it on that day to their future spouse. Please join me in lifting up these students before God that they will indeed remain physically, emotionally, and spiritually pure until marriage.
