What Cool Things Would Jesus Say at Your Funeral?
Mary DeMuth poses this question in her blog today. Read below her answers. We “challenge” you to take part in her “assignment” and then come back and share your experience and revelations with us. Enjoy!
I’ve been reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. One of the habits is “Begin with the end in mind.” He asks the reader to visualize his/her funeral, reflecting on what family, friends, co-workers and church members would say (or what we would hope they’d say).
It got me thinking. What if Jesus came back to earth to perform our funerals? What would He say about our lives? We get a hint in Matthew 25 when we read, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
But what specifically would He say about my life? I believe we’ll start a growth revolution if we take a moment to think about what He would say. To do that, ask yourself five questions. Read more…

We are all missionaries. Some of us are missionaries in our own neighborhoods and others travel around the world. This is a recent blog post by Ryan and Amanda who sold everything and moved to South America to serve.

Love! Love! Go! – A Reblog
In keeping with the message that James Clark delivered last Sunday May 20, Todd Bowman shares his slogan for the Ground Zero Youth Group: Love! Love! Go! Below is a copy of a post on his blog that sums up Jesus’ instructions to all of us.
For the past two years at Ground Zero Youth Group, many of my messages boil down to three basic statements.
- Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
- Go into all the world making disciples of all nations.
For simplicities sake, we’ve brought it down into this simple slogan! Read the rest of Todd’s post then please come back and tell us what you think of Love! Love! Go!

That Tugging Feeling – A Reblog
Have you ever been in that place where you know you’re supposed to do something but not quite sure what that is? Lately familiar phrases like “holding pattern” and “waiting to see what happens” have been heard around the campus.
Shelby Kendall, one of the (in)courage writers, posted a blog this morning about this very thing. “That Tugging Feeling” is a great perspective of “in God’s perfect time”. After you read her post, come back and let us know how it spoke to you.
Memorization Scripture – Romans 10:9
The following is compiled by Helen Westberg
Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
Precious, simple, and positive assertion! Speak with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is the risen Lord, and you will be saved. Oral confession declares, confirms, and seals the belief in the heart. Believe and preach the Word of God. Faith comes through hearing, and salvation comes through faith.
