This post is from www.seeds.churchonthemove.com posted by Kevin Moore   There is nothing like being a youth pastor. We are a totally different breed.

You have at least two plaid western shirts from Urban...

Post from www.morethandodgeball.com I don’t know what happened to me in the past few weeks, but it’s been really discouraging.

It just seems like when it rains it pours and in the midst of the rain, the enemy can stick his foot into the door and make it really hard to close. There is that moment where I am sure many of us have been where doubt creeps in....

I've been reading this book----> And it's really gotten me thinking: What would the world look like if we actually loved and served others before ourselves? Let’s go simpler than that even. How would the world see Christians? How would the world see Christianity? How would the world see Christ Himself if we loved and served others before ourselves?
