Staying In Front

With technology the way it is today its more important than ever to stay in front of students any way possible. There are so many negative influences out there in media, something positive is a breath of fresh air. Twitter, Facebook, Texting, Blogs, Youtube... etc are ways that you can stay in front of your students and present positive messages that encourage them in their walk with Christ. There are a lot of people who don't get into these things for various reasons... I believe that these are tools that we can use to make an impact...

The story of the Prodigal son is a great display of unconditional love but it also shows us a reality of the elder brother... In that story the younger brother goes off to live wildly... a true elder brother would have gone after him and rescue him from destroying his life... the elder brother in the story doesn't do this because he is to concerned with his share of the estate, what people think about him and doing the things he was "supposed" to do. He missed the point... we miss the point a lot of times... We shouldnt be sitting back letting students come to us... we need to be going after them... encouraging them, challenging them to live for something bigger than themselves...

Stay in Front of them, Go after them, show them Jesus!
