This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Pastof of Teaching & WorshipI just returned from attending the Invisible Improv event at the church. It was a great evening on many levels. It's been said that laughter adds years to your life. Well, if that is true then I added more than a few years to my life tonight!
As I thought about this event tonight, I couldn't help but think of one of the ideas I talked about in the message today. The idea was the one about not giving God our leftovers, but instead pre-deciding how to be rich in good works. Without a doubt this event was an example of our college students living out this principle. They didn't give leftovers, no, they pre-decided and gave of their best, whether it was the students on the stage or the students serving at the ticket table or the students serving ice cream or the students doing other behind-the-scenes work. And what be the result? Be ready to hear stories from our college students of how God was faithful to them and how God opened their eyes to something bigger than themselves.
Thank you college ministry for living out 1 Timothy 6:18 with this event. Now, let the stories begin. Let the impact of serving a cause larger than yourself begin. Let the impact of this event reach beyond this country and save the lives of kids in Africa. My bet is that many in our college ministry are feeling rich right now! What do you think?
