Thanksgiving

What an awesome Life Night we had last night!! Thank you to everyone who participated in the skit- it was amazing!
I hope you will all think about how evil enters into your life. Is it through facebook? Music? The language you use? Pornography? Alcohol? Lying? Gossip? The list goes on and on. It's hard to make the right decisions sometimes- especially when you are a teenager. Trust me, I remember!
Just remember that if the Devil isn't working on you, he has you right where he wants you.
God is always with you-- He never leaves your side. Even if you turn your back on Him and make bad choices.....God is always waiting for you to call out to Him. We have such an awesome God!
It reminds me of a song by Tenth Avenue North (who will be at Silver Dollar City in April) called "You are More".

Here is a sample of the lyrics: (Click here to watch the video)
"Cause this is not about what you've done, 
But what's been done for you. 
This is not about where you've been, 
But where your brokenness brings you to 

This is not about what you feel, 
But what He felt to forgive you, 
And what He felt to make you loved. 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade."



This Thanksgiving, be thankful for the gift of salvation that He has given to us; and for the gift of forgiveness for our sins we received from the sacrifice Jesus made for us. I am thankful for a loving and powerful God, and I am thankful for being blessed by each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I'll see the Edge kids on December 1, and the Life Teen kids on December 5.
Don't forget that paperwork for the Lock In is December 1. We don't have another Life Night before then, so you will need to take the paperwork and your $10 fee to the church office.
