Walking by Faith

We are memorizing a passage over the christmas break with our student leaders. Feel free to memorize with us or ask me if you see me to tell you what I have memorized!! Here is an e-mail I sent out to our team of students about this.....

The staff was thinking that we could all be challenged to memorize a passage over the break. We decided on Col 1:9-29. This passage is packed with prayer, with Christ, the gospel, and Paul’s desire to “warn and teach everyone”. It will be a good one to "hide in our hearts."

In light of our evaluation time I think it would be good for us to hold each other accountable in this by talking about it with each other and even asking when we talk to each other (phone, facebook, NYC) to say the passage. This is one of the best ways to spur on gospel community.....by encouraging each other to know God's word!!!

If any of you are like me sometimes if I don't get someone to hold me accountable to something it just might not happen....especially over the holidays!!!! So a helpful hint would be to find yourself an accountability partner if you need one to call consistently over the break to talk about the passage with. You can say it to each other, talk about what it means, principles you're learning, and how you can apply it, etc.... Just a thought!

Merry Christmas!
