Reflect:
Sound familiar? This is the same Scripture passage all week. This must be important if it is repeated so much. Those times we fall into sin are when we let our guard down. Jesus is mandating that we live each day as if it is our last. We are constantly being tempted to be consumed by other things that are not of God. Where are we spending our energy the most? We spend most of our time and energy on those things we think are important. Is most of my energy spent on building up God’s Kingdom or my own? God’s Kingdom is eternal, our world is not. God’s work brings salvation; our work, if not focused on Jesus, brings about selfish sin and destruction. What do we need to do today? The answer: “stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.”

Quote of the Day:

Saint of the Day:

Yes, it's Advent. Rejoice! Is it wrong to ask for an early Christmas present? I want my alma mater Georgia Tech to beat University of Georgia in tonight's football game.

Statistics show that most of the presents people buy today (Black Friday) will get broken, shrink, get lost or be given away within a year. Just think about how much further that money could go if you invest it in leading teens closer to Christ! If you haven't yet...would you please click that orange button on the right and help us in this vital mission?!?
