In John 14:6 Jesus says this phrase, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
A very powerful statement, and one that is often overlooked by so many people seeking to get into Heaven. This verse is also the theme for Student Life's 2008 camp season. As we reach out to those that are lost, as well as those "misguided Christians," we must remember above all else to teach them that there is no other way into Heaven aside from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This country was founded on Christian principles, and if I remember this correctly, a study conducted just a year or two ago found that over 90% of Americans considered themselves to be Christians. But ask yourself, if this were true, why are things going downhill so rapidly? Why is the news filled with so much evil, so much hate, so much destruction? What have we missed?
A new article that came out today on Fox News, in my opinion, helps to answer these questions. Read it and think to yourself, how much are we as Christians needed in the world today? Are we really doing all we can do? If it is our mission as believers to be evangelical, to spread God's Word to those who are lost, then why aren't we making more of a difference? Why isn't the news filled with selfless deeds, acts of kindness, and God's miracles? They surround us everyday. May we no longer be blinded to them...

Amen. Wouldn't that be amazing if, instead of the murders and rapes and robberies, we heard of selfless acts of compassion and kindness? Church of the Highlands is planning a saturday where all small groups will think of something they can do in and around the city of Birmingham to help people in need. Chris' prayer is that it will be so awesome that it will be covered by the news and people will see that Christians are, indeed, active. "Believe a miracle...expect a miracle." :-)
