Sorry … I keep forgetting to update our blog because we are now utilizing our TWITTER (@7n8) & webpage (hillsideyouth.com) as our primary communication tools. Anyways … last night was “LOVE” night at XZONE. We shared that God deeply madly loves his creation (you) even if you can’t see it. He sent His son to die for your redemption. Some people think that God hates them because it rained during their soccer game. This simply isn’t so. God proved His love for you. Papa Grimes then shared that we should in-turn love our neighbors, and honor them in response to God loving us. It’s kind of like a pay-it-forward. We would be selfish to not share love with others. Many of us accept the “great command” of loving God, but do an awful job “loving our neighbors.” Even if we do, our love is often shallow & conditional. We have to be better than that. The quote Papa G shared was, “The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. THIS is what an unbelieving world finds unbelievable.” … We have no XZONE next week because of February break week in Cherokee county; but we’ll return March 01 with “HOT HOT HOT” night. Plus March 01 is the first day you can sign-up for our summer KHO mission trip (with a $50 deposit) . Details on our website. PEACE, yo.
