Last week a group of us went trick-or-treating for cans. We collected 130 from just our section of our apartment complex. The people were really cool and receptive. We may have collected more cans than any other group; we'll see.
I am going to be leading the study during TNT. First i'm gonna cover Acts 17:22-34. That is when Paul reasoned with the Athenians at Mars Hill. I want to stress our need for addressing people where they are philosophically, emotionally, etc... His message was the same as always. (Jesus was God, he died for the forgiveness of sins, then he rose from the dead, therefore you should believe in Him and repent.) He just changed up the delivery. He quoted their own philosophers and referenced their own gods in order to show them their need for Jesus.
In the following sessions i'm going to address specific issues that have been misrepresented on campus. Obviously, i don't expect community college students to have extensive philosophical knowledge. Thats okay. What we should at least know is what the Bible says about issues that matter to people, such as: the environment, gender roles, sexuality, and caring for the poor. This study should be fun.
In other news, i've been playing my guitar a lot. I've imposed a midnight illuminated screen curfew. This, along with the fact that i have cut back x-box time to social events, means i get more time to read and play guitar. I also have led the worship music part of TNT a few times. That is just the motivation i need. I'm also trying to have a "set" of songs that i can play for special occasions. I've started writing too. I haven't even attempted to write a song in over 4 years. (and my previous attempts sucked) I have managed to write on song that is acceptable, for a nube. Anyway, it's fun and i'm glad that Lynn told me that leaving my guitar in WV would be a "huge mistake." He was right. I'm so glad that i have people with greater wisdom than myself in my life to help prevent me from making stupid decisions.
