Na 2007

Hey everybody,
Holly posted a few days ago about the New Attitude Conference sermons that you can download for free. I would highly recommend doing so. I finished the last of the 7 sermons yesterday. They are SO amazing! I took tons of pages of notes, and I know I will refer to them often. We all can grow in the area of discernment.

Well, I finished my first final this morning. Only ONE MORE then i'm done with highschool for good! It's so weird to be thrust into a completely new peer group. Sometimes weird peer group, sometimes veiwed as rebellious, sometimes seen as the bright young generation that will change this country. For better or worse, i'm not really sure which. If most college age students are like those here at this college, we should be afraid. Very afraid. This generation is turning out weak-spined, politically correct, liberal, tolerant adults. Besides the fact that 95% of them smoke and drink, never you mind how old they are. Underage drinking doesn't matter once you are in college. You're an adult once you start calling your teachers "Professors" and you are automatically mature once you can walk out of class and never return any time you wish. Nobody cares about homework, and only once during the term does every single student enrolled for the class actually show up. And that's final's week. Ipods and cellphones get more attention then the lecture does. "Do as little as possible. Just enough to get by" is probably the motto of this generation. Forget learning. Forget applying yourself. The reason you are in this class is to squeeze out a C if possible. Since when did a "C" become a passing grade? In highschool, tears and frustration followed receiving such a low score, but now it's become the goal for most students. Forget the "A". And the "B". What's the lowest score I can get and still pass? A "C". So students spend more time figuring out how little they can do, then on homework. Ok, you can skip 5 classes, not turn in 6 homework assignments, and bomb at least 2 quizzes, and you've got a pass. Yay. Welcome to college.

Have you been walking on a surface that’s uncertain

Have you helped yourself to everything that’s empty

You can’t live,

This way too long,

There’s more than this,

More than this

Have you been standing on your own feet too long

Have you been looking for a place where you belong

You can rest,

You will find rest

Let this old life crumble,

Let it fade,

Let this new life offered be your saving grace,

Let this old life crumble let it fade,

Let it fade

Have you been holding on to what this world has offered

Have you been giving in to all these masquerades it will be gone,

It will be gone

Are you carrying the weight too much,

Are you running from the call

New Attitude Conference

I’ve never been…but I plan to go someday! The New Attitude Conference is a weeklong conference started by Joshua Harris for Christian teens and young married couples. This year the conference was attended by 3,000 people this last week! Well, you may wonder why in the world you even CARE about this, but….*drumroll*…ALL of the lectures during this conference are FREE to download! I highly recommend you do so…I downloaded all of them and have already listened to three! They’re very powerful, let me assure you! The topic for the seminar was “Discernment”. The list of speakers and they’re topics are as follows:

Joshua Harris: Discernment

Mark Dever: Discern Your Doctrine

Albert Mohler: Discern your Culture

C.J. Mahaney: Discern Your Heart

Eric Simmons: Discern the Grey matter

John Piper: Discern what pleases God: Himself

John Piper: Discern what pleases God: Personal Obedience

C.J. Mahaney: Discern how to Apply

All of these men are strong, godly leaders…Their messages are right on! You can download the messages here: http://www.therebelution.com/blog/2007/05/new-attitude-messages-available-for-dowload/
However…since I know it takes forever to download all of these messages I am willingly offering to burn anyone a CD if you want one….Just leave a comment or drop me an email and I’ll get you a disk as soon as possible! (Tips Accepted) ;)

In Christ-
