Dr. Jim Diehl

These are some notes that I took from the service tonight:
"Lead me to the cross, where your love poured out. Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down."

--> DON'T BREAK THE TRUST!
-->We are ALL worth more that $280.
-->God's rules for life are so that you will be SET FREE!
-->If we live like God wants us to, there will be FREEDOM and JOY! :)
       -if we don't, it will cost us.
 -->3 John 1:9
-->There are givers and takers in this world, be a giver!
-->There are murmurers and encouragers, be an encourager!
-->There are watchers and workers in the church, be a worker!
-->Do not focus on the problems, focus on the promises of God.
-->Don't jump off a bridge to rescue at hat.
          -FOOL
-->Jump off a bridge to rescue a child.
          -HERO
-->Too many of us shed blood over stuff that doesn't matter.
         -Don't shed your blood over something God doesn't care about.
-->Believe in the culture of LIFE.
-->Jesus died on the cross so we could have a personal relationship with Christ.
-->Develop a heart for the youth<3
-->85% of Christians gave their lives to Christ between ages 8-18.
-->Where the young people are in the church, the church is ALIVE
-->Ecclesiastes 12
-->1 Timothy 4:12-"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers."
--> Young people + God = can change this world!

At the end of the service, Pastor had all of the youth(21 and below) come up to the front. The youth is what makes the church ALIVE. He had everyone else come up and lay there hand on a youth and pray for them. It was really touching for me because these are the people, these are the parents and grandparents that have walked along side with me since I was a baby at this church. These are the people that have grown with through dedication, giving my life to Christ, baptism. Through camps, retreats, and mission trips. I have to thank everyone, young and old, my peers, parents, and grandparents, I have to thank all of you for walking with me through everything, good times and hard times, thank you for believing in me, praying for me and with me, thank you for never giving up on me.
