What if we could use Facebook as a tool to live THE Cause and reach our friends for Jesus instead of it being a distraction from THE Cause? How about a new alternative to the popular Facebook “to be honest (TBH)?” The addicting “Like, for a truth/ tbh” is used in times of boredom or [...]
Then Gideon said to God, “If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised, prove it to me in this way. I will put a wool fleece on the threshing floor tonight. If the fleece is wet with dew in the morning but the ground is dry, then I will know [...]
Distractions: Summertime Apathy
Ahhhh, summertime! No school, hot weather, suntans, vacations, camps, mindless TV watching, hours of refreshing your Facebook feeds, Call of Duty, summer Blockbusters, and boredom from too much free time. If we are honest with ourselves, we can say that typical summer doesn’t do much for our spiritual health. If we feed on weak things [...]
Distractions: Believing lies from the Accuser….
You have heard those condemning thoughts before, “You are not good enough; you will never amount to anything.” “Just give up, you won’t get through to your friend, so what’s the use.” “You shouldn’t have done that, now God won’t use you.” Shame.

Recently I was talking with some students about THE Cause and they told me that they were just “stuck.” I asked what they meant and one student said, “I don’t know, I [...]
For Girls Only! – Distractions in Beauty
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. – Genesis 1:27
Beauty. There’s two kinds of those. Outside beauty and inner beauty. Which one would you pick to have?

It is so easy to lose focus and feel the pull to do other things when you are trying to live THE Cause on your school campus. Maybe you had a plan to talk to your friend who really needs Jesus and as you are about to talk to him in class, you are pulled [...]
Distractions: Discouraged Results (“Why don’t they get it?”)
In this series, “Distractions from living THE Cause”, Brian Ford and I are asking students, “What distracts you from living THE Cause or making disciples?” In other words, “What is causing you to lose traction or lose momentum in sharing your faith?” We are going to discuss different ways we can be “pulled away” from [...]
Distractions: Fighting Among Friends

I can’t tell you how many times [...]
Living THE Cause as the Family of God
God described King David as a man after His own heart. What is His heart? It is summed up by loving God, loving people, and calling others to do the same. His heart is pleased when you spend time with Him daily and when you are filled up with His love so much so that [...]
