Leadership=Discipleship
Leadership is one of the most under emphasized aspects of Christian Discipleship. Don’t get me wrong it gets plenty of attention and respect. Positions of Authority make instant celebrities in their organizations, people aspire to those titles and work hard to get and keep them. Those who hold positions like Scout Leader, Student Counsel President, Quarterback of the football team, Mayor,...

Ev@ngel*$m has become a bad word
Evangelism, The E-Word. Aside from a very few traditions this word is run from rather than embraced. How can a word that simply means “good news” cause such a negative reaction? Explore with me what has happened with this word, and how maybe we can see this concept in a different light.
Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have often approached their views on God as an...

Blessed
There are so many instances in which I find myself in a situation 100 times better than I could have ever imagined, either in specific moments or life situations in general.
I’ll give you an example of each then I would love to hear some from my followers of how you have been blessed.
I am a youth minister and I am currently on the way home from a ski trip. I can’t believe...

Even in the Toughest of Moments
Today when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about 5 years from now and how fun it would be to see and hang out with people from high school at our 10 year reunion. They were happy thoughts of future laughs looking back at what we used to be and celebrating who we had become. I pictured certain names and faces. I even looked forward to actually spending time with people I rarely spoke to.

heisjealousforme:
When I saw you as judge, there was nothing within me that desired to do your work. When I saw you as creator, my heart stirred a little within me, understanding how you made me for you and because of your love for me. When I saw you as father, I shrunk back, because I had a father, and his words…
Goals
I think it is just as important to have a goal and purpose for every day as it is to have “life goals”
Every day I wake up, I want to learn as much as I can, grow from my mistakes, walk humbly, and constantly strive to live a better and more loving life today than I did yesterday.

Faith of a Child
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” -Matthew 18:3-5
Jesus Calls us to have faith like a child. I know we hear this talked about a lot, but I think the reason we have to hear it...

What hurts?
I was looking @ some of my followers blogs and it seems that alot of you have similar themes. It seems that slot of the blogs I reed believe in some higher being or maybe even like the idea of Jesus but don’t seem to like Christians or the church. It also seems to me like there is a certain level of pain in your respective lives, even those of you with inspirational Christian blogs. What...

The Youth of Preston Hollow UMC just got back from a mission trip to New Orleans. I know many of you are curious and eager to find out how big of an impact we made in the community of New Orleans.

We played a small part in a very big picture. The ...

Laughter
Its a fact. when infants aren’t crying, they spend 85% of their time laughing or smiling.
No this does not mean they think baby talk is funny, and they surely aren’t that amused by plastic key chains.
They are smiling because they know something.
They are Smiling because they just farted.
And it was hilarious.

Chain Messages
I have some serious disagreements with chain messages, particularly the “christian” ones.
They are anything but Christian (that’s why I left it lowercase and put it in quotes)
It is good to send people positive messages
It is good to uplift others in the name of Christ.
It is good to occasionally pass on a good message
However, these chain messages are doing more damage than...
