Beach Retreat 2010
Last week was our High School Beach Retreat. I really love Beach Retreat because we see God do awesome things in the lives of students every year. But this year seemed very unique. There was a different spirit about Beach Retreat this year. Our students came with a unique anticipation. There was a unique feel of community about the week. And I think God's Spirit worked in a unique, life-altering (and ministry altering) way.
I'm not sure I know how to explain it, and I'm not sure I know what it will look like, but just 2 days back, I think we're already seeing things happen like never before.... I'm sure as the weeks pass, God will reveal more of what He has in store, but I can't wait to see where God takes all of the Second Students on this journey!
Here are a few pictures from the week:

PRIMAL - A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity
I recently had a chance to review a new book by Mark Batterson (author of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and Wild Goose Chase), called PRIMAL: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity. (Thanks Mark and Liz!) Here is a small taste of what the book is about, as well as my thoughts:
When Jesus was asked what was the number one command, He responded with this: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and love your neighbor as yourself." Sounds like 2 commands, but maybe it's just one...
Mark Batterson makes a challenge for all Christ followers that we all need to be reminded of, and we all need to focus on. If we can simply live up to this primary command, it would be revolutionary, not just for our lives, but all over the world!
If you haven't created a reading list for the new year - or even if you have - put PRIMAL at the top of that list and make it your first read of the new year!

Angels and Demons
Last night in our high school ministry, we started a 2-part series called, "Angels and Demons". We're looking at the reality of spiritual warfare and talking about ways that we can see/sense the spiritual realm impacting our lives daily.
As I began preparing, I had a strong sense that the enemy would work hard to distract students (and me) from what God wanted us to know and understand in this area. So, last night, we tried to kill a few myths:
#1 - Everyone should pray to their guardian angel (while guardianship may be a reality, the phrase "guardian angel" is not actually found in Scripture - and angels should not be prayed to or worshipped - Hebrews 1 talks about this)
#2 - The devil is just a halloween character - no big deal
#3 - Angels are little babies with wings
#4 - The devil is everywhere and can control anyone at his choosing
#5 - They don't exist - This is the scariest one to believe
The truth is that they do exist... and the battle fought in the spiritual realm is a battle that impacts us on a daily basis - whether it is a spirit of complacency, insecurity, lust, deception, pride, fear, anger, etc, we lose regularly because we don't pay attention.
Here are a couple key truths we ended with:
- This is REAL. It's scary. Apart from Christ, we walk this battle every day alone, in fear, in emptiness, and in darkness.
- The reason we turn on lights when we're afraid is because we were made for the Light.

Destiny...
I've taken some time away from blogging, but I come back with one of my favorite videos of all time. Such a true message! If we haven't embraced it, we've missed out. If we don't embrace it, we'll continue to miss out. When we do embrace it, watch out!!!

Celebrating Freedom
Today, we celebrate our independence. We remember the sacrifices made in the past - and still being made - to secure our freedom as a nation. To my grandad to my cousins, family and friends, people I know personally and those I dont - Thank you!
Today, I can't help but think of the freedom purchased for us on the cross. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Freedom not just live, move and breathe, but to LIFE - a life that is exciting, often tough, filled with adventure, but full and better than one could imagine. That's the free life in the Spirit, bought on the cross.
