This hike will be in place of our normal CrossCurrent meeting. We will not be meeting on the 18th.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will be leaving at 8:00am on Saturday, July 17th and heading up to the Brevard, North Carolina area. We are planning a full day of hiking, lunch&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;together and fun and we will return to Greenville around 6:00pm that evening. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are really excited about getting together to just enjoy the great outdoors and each other's company and we'd love to have you there with us. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hike will be a good chance not only to get together with other Parents and Youth of our church, it will also provide you with a chance to build&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;godly friendships with Singles in the church who are following the Lord just a few years ahead of you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please e-mail Jessica{at}sgcsc[dot]org if you can make it and also let us know if you'd be interested in helping with coordinating the hike itself too (our very own Eagle Scout, Josh Pratt will be helping lead the effort). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, if you or someone you know has a van or minivan that can be used to carpool, it would be very helpful - just let Jessica know that in the e-mail as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm looking forward to this hike - it will be lots of fun!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your bro,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Matt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. I anticipate either packing brown-bag style lunches or charging a nominal fee to cover the expense of lunch.

The saying referred to the Greek value of understanding human behavior, morals and thought, because it was thought that ultimately to understand oneself is to understand other humans as well. Although there is some truth in the idea that knowing yourself is important, this idea has some serious limitations as well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Knowing yourself is important if you are to understand what motivates you, what you desire and what you are living for. However, self-examination is not enough and in the end will prove futile if we do not examine ourselves in the light of God’s Word. We must seek to understand the desires and inclination of our sin nature that remain and then seek to apply the truth of Scripture our lives. We must know how our ambitions and desires stack up against what God says is true and discern how they compare to what the Bible says should motivate our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ultimately, our motivation should be to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord because of what He has done for us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Or as the Apostle Paul said about living for the sake of Christ, “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;So what about you? Do you know yourself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;If you answer the below questions honestly, (not how you know you should answer them but being honest about what you really think) they may help reveal what is motivating you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite things to do?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you like to spend time on? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite things to watch? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your hobbies? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you like to spend money on?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who are your favorite bands?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are the last 5 songs or artists you downloaded on your iPod?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite TV shows?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite movies?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite books?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite shoes?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite clothes?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite games?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your favorite internet sites to go to?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you want to do in life?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do you spend most of your free time doing?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who do you want to notice you most?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who do you most want to impress?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your answers to the above questions could help reveal what you really love. The question is whether a motivation to live for God because of His great love for you is revealed? Or is a love for the world or the things of the world revealed?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;1 John 2:15-17 says&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions - is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This scripture confronts us where we live and doesn’t leave us with any wiggle room. If we love the world or the things of the world, the love of the Father is not in us. This is radical. This requires that we know ourselves and that we live to love and please the Lord in what we do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, because sin still remains in our hearts, our desires are never completely pure and our motives are most often mixed. The question is not whether we at times live for things other than God – the question is what the over-riding desire of our lives is normally. Do we seek to make each day an act of worship to God, even though we fail and need His grace continuously or are we just coasting along and living for the world and the things of the world without even realizing it? Or perhaps, even more seriously, are we living for the world and comfortable with it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;So, the question for us is, what do you love? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next few posts, we are going to address the topic of worldliness. In the meanwhile, I would encourage you to pray and ask the Lord to reveal your heart to you. Where you experience conviction, I would encourage you to repent and trust in the grace of God to enable you to live a life that is pleasing to Him. We can never earn our salvation or keep our salvation by how we live, but how we live is a good indicator of whether we really love God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3851159623795072043-4555141086930977958?l=ccsgcsc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/4555141086930977958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/4555141086930977958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsgcsc.blogspot.com/2008/11/do-you-really-know-yourself-are-you.html' title='Do you really know yourself?

They can help serve you as a good indicator of whether you appreciate the saving and cleansing grace of God in your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Ask your parents...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;After you've thought through the questions and answered them honestly - I'd ask that you give your parents the same questions in advance and, after they've had time to consider where they think you are in regards to the questions, take some time to sit down with them and hear how they see you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Hard but worth it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;I think that this will be a productive time and could really serve to spur you on to godliness and also encourage you in areas where God is evidently at work. It will take some hard work and serious humility on your part but the rewards will be lasting if you respond to God as you do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#3366ff;"&gt;The Questions...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;These questions are taken from page 54 of the book, &lt;em&gt;Growing Up Christian&lt;/em&gt;, by Karl Graustein&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;1. Am I extremely grateful that God has saved me? (How do I see this in my life?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;2. Do I regularly think about what my life would be like if God had not saved me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;3. When I look at my life, do I see a lot of sin?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;4. Am I often amazed that God forgives me, even when I repeatedly sin?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;5. When I pray, do I frequently thank God for forgiving my sins?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;6. Do I love to worship God and express my love for Him in song? (How is this demonstrated?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;7. Do I really enjoy talking with others about God? How many times in the past month have I actually done this and when is the last time I talked with someone about God that I initiated?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;8. Do I look for opportunities to share my faith with others? When is the last time I shared my faith with someone else?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;9. Am I extremely excited about spending eternity in heaven?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;10. Do I regularly thank God for saving me from an eternity in hell?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;In asking yourself these questions - please do not become discouraged if you're not doing well or proud if you do seem to be doing well in all these areas either. Let a less favorable evaluation lead to confession and repentance and be filled with fresh hope in the Grace of God to change you. On the other hand, let a favorable evaluation lead to encouragement and thanksgiving in God which leads to a greater desire to love and serve Him -  and then be an example to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3851159623795072043-6620178037441839757?l=ccsgcsc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/6620178037441839757'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/6620178037441839757'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsgcsc.blogspot.com/2008/10/little-self-evaluation-will-go-long-way.html' title='A little self-evaluation will go a long way...'/><author><name>mr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486536669251658378</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851159623795072043.post-5165783307792013754</id><published>2008-10-26T22:59:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-26T23:28:35.427-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Are you sure?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is an outline from our last CrossCurrent meeting with the main points as well as the scriptures and quotes I referenced. I encourage each of you to read through the outline and take some time to meditate on the scriptures and then consider your own calling. Eternity is at stake and the Lord wants us to be sure of our salvation. If you aren't a Christian, please take this opportunity to repent, confess your sins and place all of your hope and confidence in Christ Jesus for salvation. If you are a Christian - please take the opportunity to make your calling sure and zealously pursue a close, personal relationship with Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 Peter 1:10-12 10&lt;/strong&gt; Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why we do what we do matters to make sure our salvation is real&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;1. We need to be sure our salvation is real – because Eternity is at stake&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Jesus said in Revelation 3:11; 14-16 “I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown…. 'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not my aim to introduce doubts and fears into your mind; no, but I do hope self-examination may help drive them away. It is not security but false security which we would kill; not confidence, but false confidence, which we would overthrow; not peace, but false peace, which we would destroy” – Charles H. Spurgeon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Knowledge alone is not enough – God wants knowledge from the heart&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Indeed the devil thinks more true thoughts about God in one day than a saint does in a lifetime, and God is not honored by it. The problem with the devil is not his theology, but his desires. Our chief end is to glorify God, the great Object. We do so most fully when we treasure him, desire him, delight in him so supremely that we let goods and kindred go and display his love to the poor and the lost.” – John Piper, When I Don’t Desire God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Grace never ignores the awful truth of our depravity. In fact, it emphasizes it. The worse we realize we are, the greater we realize God’s grace is.” – Randy Alcorn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A person who has no taste for the enjoyment of Christ will not go to heaven. “If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed” (1 Cor. 16:22). “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (Matt. 10:37). … Loving Jesus, not just “deciding” for him or “being committed to him” or affirming all the right doctrines about him, is the mark of a true child of God. Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would love me” (John 8:42)” – John Piper, When I Don’t Desire God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;3. Actions alone are not enough – God wants actions from the heart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh, how easy it is to think we are what we ought to be when the emotions are made peripheral. Mere thoughts and mere deeds are manageable by the carnal religious mind. But the emotions—they are the (weathervane) of the heart. Nothing shows the direction of the deep winds of the soul like the demand for radical, sin-destroying, Christ-exalting joy in God.” – John Piper, When I Don’t Desire God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 15:8 This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why we do what we do matters to make sure our salvation is real&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;4. God wants your heart – because He wants to give you eternal life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;“The fact that there is a struggle with sin, and a sense of grief because of sin is good. Unbeleivers have no such struggles or griefs. They may disappoint themselves for not living up to their own standards or to the standard of someone they respect. But they do not agonize over being unholy before God – a God who is holy and calls them to holiness. As A.W. Pink explained, “It is not the absence of sin but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors [of faith]” – Donald Whitney&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Where do you find yourself? Which category are you in?:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;· Those who may not be Christians but think they are&lt;br /&gt;· Those who are not Christians and are faking it&lt;br /&gt;· Those who are not Christians and know it&lt;br /&gt;· Those who are Christians but are not living like it&lt;br /&gt;· Those who are Christians and living like it but doubt their salvation&lt;br /&gt;· Those who are Christians living like it and confident in it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3851159623795072043-5165783307792013754?l=ccsgcsc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/5165783307792013754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/5165783307792013754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsgcsc.blogspot.com/2008/10/are-you-sure-below-is-outline-from-our.html' title='Are you sure?'/><author><name>mr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486536669251658378</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851159623795072043.post-2552531271995635323</id><published>2008-10-18T13:52:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-18T14:00:25.026-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Can You Really Be Sure?

You may be unsure how to answer the question or even where to start in answering it. At times, you may have experienced an unsettled feeling and been uneasy about your eternal destiny deep inside but been afraid to confront those feelings or admit doubts, lest you find out that you really aren't a Christian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't need to live this way. You really can know whether you are a Christian or not.  And the good news is that even if you find out that you really aren't a Christian - you can admit it, confess it to your parents and friends and then turn to Jesus Christ in faith. From there, you can begin to truly trust in Jesus as your only hope for salvation, forgiveness and being right with God.  Once you realize that "living right" on the outside doesn't impress God and doesn't make you a Christian, you can begin to place your faith in the only place that makes a difference- in the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus on our behalf and in our place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what, if you are unsure whether you are truly a Christian and you don't know how to answer the question, I would encourage you to do some hard work considering the question by yourself and then talk it over with your parents.  To get you started, I'll be posting the "Self-Test" questions from the book, Growing Up Christian for the next 3 days. Please read through them carefully and answer them honestly - after all, eternity is at stake....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are by yourself...&lt;br /&gt;Do you pray? What do you pray about?&lt;br /&gt;Do you read the Bible? Do you enjoy reading your Bible? Do you experience God teaching you when you read your Bible?&lt;br /&gt;Do you worship God? Why do you worship?&lt;br /&gt;Do you think about God on your own? What aspects of God do you think about?&lt;br /&gt;Do you confess your sin to God on your own? What sins do you confess to God - sins of motive and desire or primarily outward actions?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3851159623795072043-8604937610679369541?l=ccsgcsc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/8604937610679369541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/8604937610679369541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsgcsc.blogspot.com/2008/10/can-you-really-be-sure.html' title='Can You Really Be Sure?'/><author><name>mr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486536669251658378</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851159623795072043.post-5332897015036299112</id><published>2008-09-25T16:27:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T17:22:22.500-04:00</updated><title type='text'>What Are You Living For?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taAUHNjfYco/SNv-qHPOUnI/AAAAAAAAAuo/QkXsvg8zxY0/s1600-h/WhatAreYouLivingFor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250069790081307250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_taAUHNjfYco/SNv-qHPOUnI/AAAAAAAAAuo/QkXsvg8zxY0/s320/WhatAreYouLivingFor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It was great to get together with you all this past Sunday night.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to all of those who helped make the night a success by serving so faithfully in the areas of set-up/clean-up, snacks, games, sound, music &amp;amp; projection. Your servathood makes a real difference and it glorifies God!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Youth &amp;amp; Parents alike: Please don't forget to talk with each other about the message that you heard at our meeting Sunday night and discuss some of the ways that you can respond together.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some things to consider as you respond to the message:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;If you’re not sure of your salvation – talk about it with your parents and ask them what fruit they see in your life. Do you honor your parents?

If so, it might be a sign that you’re born again –talk it over with your parents and get their thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I'd encourage everyone to sit down and talk with your parents about what the importance of things like sports, entertainment, friends or games have in your life. Consider whether you are spending time on these things to the detriment of your relationship with God. You may need to repent, forget what lies behind and strain forward to what the Lord has ahead for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Ask yourself if you live by the gospel of Jesus Christ each day? If not, you can start to know the joy of the gospel by preaching the gospel to yourself each day.

I hope that you're having a great summer so far (&lt;span id="{A67F1C16-D0AC-480E-8EC7-CC119469E97C}"&gt;I know that the summer seems to be flying by for our family). &lt;/span&gt;I am looking forward to being a part of the group as we start the CrossCurrent meetings up again in September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meanwhile, please check out the below video of highlights from the baptism service that we held in church a couple of weeks ago. What a privilege it was to participate together in celebrating 16 people publicly declaring their faith and new life in Christ! As you watch, I'd encourage you to think about what kind of public declaration your life is making for Christ and consider how you can "show Him" more in everything you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="390"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I2eOToKIA9A&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed width="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I2eOToKIA9A&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3851159623795072043-8866669970460979438?l=ccsgcsc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/8866669970460979438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3851159623795072043/posts/default/8866669970460979438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsgcsc.blogspot.com/2008/07/celebrating-baptism-and-showing-christ.html' title='Celebrating Baptism and &quot;Showing&quot; Christ'/><author><name>mr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06486536669251658378</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851159623795072043.post-2228190870515748184</id><published>2008-07-13T23:24:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-09-11T15:29:51.410-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CrossCurrent'/><title type='text'>Our Next Meeting!</title><content type='html'>Cross Current will have its next meeting on September 21st at Mt.
