James 4:4

You shouldn't desire to be like the world to look cool and not be an outcast. Instead you are supposed to be different so people can tell a difference and see a difference in you. God's ambassador should not blend into the world but stand out. Then, when need comes, those around you will know to whom to turn.

People look at you and they are reading you like a book...what kind of book are you.


James 4:5
Why would you hide your affection to your significant other? If your wife loved you wholeheartedly to your face, yet hanging out with friends she acted like she doesn't care about you, how would you feel?

The key to ending your friendship with the world is to submit yourself to God.

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

Awesome night in Elgin...

Last night, many good friends (Jordan, Stephanie, Gabe, Jane, Daniel, Vanessa, Lauren, Amy), Jessica, and I went to Bangkok House in Elgin, to celebrate Jessica's birthday. The fellowship was awesome and the food was delicious. Afterwards, we listened to live music next door, at an Italian restaurant, where the guys and girls sat separately. I don't know what the girls talked about, but we laughed a lot while talking about funny scenes in parody films, making funny gestures and noises, and practicing math when the bill came. Even later, while walking each other to our cars, we also met 3 good friends, who were homeless, at a park in Elgin. We talked to the about God, about their life, and prayed. One of the friends, named Ricky, asked Jordan to read Jeremiah 1. I encourage you to read the awesome chapter for yourself. If I remember well, Ricky also said to let God tell us about Himself, and not to find our own interpratations . It was a Blessed night!
