This is a shot of inspiration that I needed this morning! PTL!!!! HOPE! HOPE!!!!! Thank you Baptist Press! I sure would love to talk to Billy Christol. One of the things I love about evangelism is listening to young people and building bridges of love and trust with them! Our young people do not get the credit they deserve much of then time. Take time to talk to them. LISTEN!
NASHVILLE (BP) — It isn’t groundbreaking to say teenagers and young adults are curious about the world and – to quote Michael W. Smith – their place in it. The amount of available information, however, may also be contributing to a distrust beyond those in their immediate vicinity.
Billy Christol has worked with teenagers over the last 33 years, 23 of them in student ministry. Recent events, he said, have generated an environment where the pursuit of truth is still as relevant as the day Pontius Pilate asked about it. More Here
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails…” 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
