A transition blog for RTN youth

Transition.


Transition can be difficult. Christian Heritage, a church that has been around for a century has not been without transitions. One of these transitions was when I was in youth group. In a short amount of time, our senior pastor left, our youth pastor became interim senior pastor, and then before we knew it our interim youth pastor left and we got another youth pastor. Needless to say... THAT was transition. As difficult and rocky as it felt, they were good transitions and I'm glad Pastor Todd came in as that final "new" youth pastor.

Sometimes we have no idea why God does things. It feels like God is taking friends and relationships from us. But our thoughts aren't His thoughts and we must rest assured that His thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We can also rest assured that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

We love Cody, Clint and Cayden and will miss them greatly. God has amazing things in store for their lives... I think we can all agree on that one. We love the Ledford family and we should ALL lift them up in prayer for their transition.

This will be a new chapter for the church. In this new chapter, it is our responsibility to seek the mind and will of the Father, to walk in love, and to be flexible as God stretches us.

I love you guys. The staff loves you. We are praying for you guys and you should pray for each other.

Later gator :)

What if Jesus meant what He said? - "If you love me..."

The thought occurred to me today.   What if Jesus meant what He said? He said a lot.   A whole lot. And if He is God, then we should listen to what He said. If He is our Lord, then we should listen to what He said. I want to go on a journey of exploring what He said.   He is the Word and He is God.   I think what He said is worth exploring and worth living by.   The first thing I want to look at is in John 14.   This will give the premise for the entire journey of seeking out what Jesus said.   Because if Jesus meant this… then the rest of what He said is VERY important. Jhn 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come ...

A thought

There are easy days. And then there are difficult days. This is my reassurance: God is constant and He is always faithful. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” – 2 Timothy 2:13

Ezekiel 14:12-23

I read this passage last night. I have seen a verse or two about it... but the entirety of it gripped me when I read it. I had never thought about it as a principle. "When a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness..." Then I was blown away by the men God used as examples. Noah, Daniel, Job. Men whose lives have a tremendous impact on the end-time saints. To be the only ones delivered in your righteousness. What was it like to watch an entire culture that God was not pleased with and see his judgment poured out accordingly. Righteous men - Noah, Daniel, Job - who stood, even when they stood alone. And yes, all three of those men, stood in their righteousness alone. They all faced scoffing and hatred of them. There are lessons in all of these men's lives. God judges nations. He judges lands that sin against the Lord in persistent unfaithfulness. But there are righteous ones in the midst of judgment. Eze 14:12-23 The word of the LORD came again to me...
