Challenged

Today, I returned to LBC for a chapel. The reason I went to the chapel is because I was asked by an awesome friend, Todd Henley, to be there to support him as he talked about discipleship. The crazy thing is that what challenged me today wasn't the aspect of discipleship to a degree, but being challenged on confessing.

Todd shared that so many of us ask for forgiveness for stuff and say we will never do it again, but end up going back to the same sin and committing the same sin again. I don't know how many times that this has happened to me.

I urge you guys to look at how you are confessing sin. Sin is hard to get rid of, BUT you can get rid of it. So, when I ask for forgiveness from God from here on out, I want to be careful that I do not go back and do it again, because in a sense, this means I didn't really ask for forgiveness for real the first time.

It seems like a simple concept, but really, truly think about it.

Imitate Unleashed

Hello All!

I hope all of you are having a great start to the week. I hope you are also enjoying our kickoff series "Imitate Unleashed".

This series has been started to tell you what the youth group is all about being. Imitate would like to be a place that is loving, respecting, service-oriented, and reaching.

This week we are going to take a look at serving. So, with that being said, what does the word "serve" mean to you? What is "serving" in your eyes?

One

By U2

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same

Will it make it easier on you now

You got someone to blame

You say...

One love

One life

When it's one need

In the night

One love

We get to share it

Leaves you baby if you

Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well it's...

Too late

Tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to

Carry each other

Carry each other

One...

Have you come here for forgiveness

Have you come to raise the dead

Have you come here to play Jesus

To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much

More than a lot

You gave me nothing

Now it's all I got

We're one

But we're not the same

Well we

Hurt each other

Then we do it again

You say

Love is a temple

Love a higher law

Love is a temple

Love the higher law

You ask me to enter

But then you make me crawl

And I can't be holding on

To what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love

One blood

One life

You got to do what you should

One life

With each other

Sisters

Brothers

One life

But we're not the same

We get to

Carry each other

Carry each other

One...life

One
