Read it and let it soak in this week. Post something if God prompts your heart. "How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word. I have tried hard to find you-- don't let me wander from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I praise you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. I have recited aloud all the regulations you have given us. I have rejoiced in your laws as much as in riches. I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word." (Psalm 119:9-16, NLT) http://www.cornerstoneefcwilliamsburg.org/blogentry.aspx?site_id=40&entry_id=82244http://www.cornerstoneefcwilliamsburg.org/blogentry.aspx?site_id=40&entry_id=82244 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT I hope everyone had a good time last night at the coffee shop. Nothing like a little late night caffeine to keep you going. I'm sure that won't be the last time we end up there.<br /><br />So to continue our discussion, let's think more about the kinds of things that tend to divide us as a church, and how we can build greater unity. Do you remember those character traits we discussed? If not...<br /><br />"Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace." (Ephesians 4:2-3, NLT)<br /><br />I'd like to hear more thoughts on real ways that our group can reach out to the rest of the church to help bring about unity among the body. Maybe it will take more caffeine to get those brains working again. Sorry, I'm out of coffee.<br /><br /> I hope everyone had a good time last night at the coffee shop.

How do you see yourself fitting into the church? Maybe another way to ask it would be this, if the church is a body (as described in the NT) and every part of the body plays an essential role, then what part of the body are you?<br /><br />Think about it.<br /> So I forgot to ask on Thursday night a question that related to our study in Ephesians.

I made a few entries but yeah...so its been a while since the last one. Well we will see how this one goes. I don't know how many blogs you guys check out online, but its my new favorite thing to do online. <br /><br />Anyway, whats really cool is that you can "subscribe" to most any blog (including this one) using RSS. You don't really need to know how it works, just click the little orange square you find on the page. You will probably need a news reader to subscribe. I think <a href="http://mail.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo! Mail</a> has an option and <a href="http://www.google.com/reader" target="_blank">Google</a> does too. The program I use is called <a href="http://www.curiostudio.com/index.html" target="_blank">GreatNews</a>. Check it out. <br /><br />Be sure to post comments (so I know someone is reading and I'm not just writing to myself). We will see how long I keep this up. Who knows, we could end up with some pretty cool discussions going on.<br /> So in my mind I had this great idea to create a blog for our youth group at Cornerstone.
