2 Great Nights

We have been praying for this day for some time and we are so grateful that it finally came!

We spent Thursday night with a group of about 15 guys from the University at the Skinners house.  We hosted a Men's Night to focus on Biblical Manhood.  We spent about 2 hours talking with these men about the problems of manhood, what men are NOT, and what a man of God is.  It was great to hear them share about their culture and talk about how the bible breaks down and then redeems culture!  If something in our culture goes against the Bible, it must be thrown out, but the Gospel redeems culture and makes it whole!

We spent tonight with close to 100 students at University Baptist Church talking about Biblical Discipleship.  We looked at the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 and Christ last words to Make Disciples, the call on every Christ followers life.  Mark taught about Jesus' vision and strategy to reach the world through the one, by building the one to reach the world.  I closed by looking at how the church multiplied in Acts as the disciples were faithful to the call to make disciples.

It continues to become more and more clear to me of our desperate need to live lives focused on making disciples like Jesus did.  These students need men and women in their lives that are willing to give them truth and life int he context of relationships, and we are no different.  Jesus knew what he was doing when he set the example and called us to follow Him by making disciples.  The question is, are we willing to follow?
