Prayer Friday #34

Thanks for praying. Pray for our conference this weekend – coast youth REVOLUTION

  • Thank God for so many people willing to serve
  • Pray for the speakers (Paul, Andrew and me)
  • Pray that Christian teenagers will be challenged to live radically in response to the good news of Jesus
  • Pray that non-Christian teenagers will turn and put their trust in Jesus.

If you've got a bunch of teenagers and want to bring them to the conference for a day… feel free.

Very impressive…

Mark Driscoll on the greatest…

…challenge for young Christians in the next 10 years. (Taken from the Jan_Feb_07 print issue of relevant magazine)

There is a strong drift toward the hard theological left. Some emergent types [want] to recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie in a dress with a lot of product in His hair, who drank decaf and made pithy Zen statements about life while shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. In Revelation, Jesus is a pride fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is a guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up. I fear some are become more cultural than Christian, and without a big Jesus who has authority and hates sin as revealed in the Bible, we will have less and less Christians, and more and more confused, spiritually self-righteous blogger critics of Christianity.
