Girls crying at the Jonas Brothers concert...hmmm. This sounds hilarious. Should we be so emotionally involved that we cry and worship the ground someone walks on? The answer absolutely NOT!
This issue has been on my heart for some time. The internet has made it so easy for people to feed this fame issue. You have facebook, Myspace, and Youtube. People getting on the internet hoping that someone will discover them. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that everyone on these social networks are trying to be famous. For many, it is about staying connected with friends and the ability to post pics about you. But, it can get out of control if we are not careful. Our motives must always stay in check. We also need to truly be careful of setting ourselves and people up as idols. It is so easy to lose humility in this culture. God is looking for a broken and contrite heart after HIM!
Question: Do you seem to have a lot of time for updating your facebook, myspace, or youtube; but you have no time for reading your Bible or praying. How do you think God views this? Could it be this fame issue is getting in you and you do not even realize it? Priorities tell alot about what is important to us. I hope your calendar dictates that God is important to you. If you are spending all your time updating your social networks and spending no time in prayer and Bible Reading you are out of balance.
God is looking for a generation that is hungry for his presence.
Romans 13:11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
The time is now to take off our worldly dirty clothes and put on the clothes of Gods Presence!

Unleash You Are Gods Spokesperson
Our 25th Annual Student Conference is coming up (July 29th - August 1) and I am so excited about it. I have personally hosted this conference for 13 years. It is an amazing adventure and I love it! I am believing God will speak a specific word to students that come about the direction of their life. God desires to release people all over the world to declare His truths. There is a specific unique destiny for each person, we must be broken so we can hear that still small voice.
Jeremiah 1:5 "God has appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Just as God appointed Jeremiah to be a prophet in that time in history, so God is raising up spokes persons for Him in this generation. God uses people to declare his word not things.

- God knows you
- He is calling you
- He will be with you
