Setting a good example
I started wrestling about a week ago and I found out my Coach was a Christian. He told my fellow wrestlers not to say any filthy words and not to put Jesus Christ's name in vain. I thought he would be a pretty good coach untill he started cussing. That doesn't show a good example to the wrestlers about being a Christian when our coach condradicted himself. It made me think about when I'm hanging around non-christians and how I should set a good example for a christian. Just one word that could easily slip out could ruin their thoughts about christianity. Expecialy me being a teen minister and our campus lunch leader for our school. As christians, we need to be extra carefull about what we do when around non-christians.

Man, Amen to that brother, it's something we always need to be conscious of...
Try not to lay anybody out to hard too...
Mmm ya dude, I wrote a blog about stumbling blocks like that. Check it out! Peace,

Sounds like you're doing good work- I wish you the best. My advice is, don't neglect your own spiritual health. Love Jesus, don't just love ministry. I was in youth ministry at 2 churches, and it is easy to burn out quickly, or there could be high turnover due to "political" reasons. The average tenure of a youth pastor nationwide is 1 year.
If you know some Christian single young adult type people over this way, they may be interested in what we're doing here in north Montebello.
reading your blog again, the last sentence caught my eye. I don't why it didn't before, but here's what I think. We just can't be careful if what we say it do infront of non-Christians, but infront of everyone. Even if we are alone, we can't act like we walk in the darkness or let our tongues slip. Read James 1:26 about your tongues!
AMEN!!! that is so true, it is also sad sometimes when others are dicieved into thinking they are a christian and you can tell by the way they are living that they really aren't living a Godly life.
keep the blogs comming. :)
