ACTS 2:42

While playing football in high school and even some in college, the key to every game was to get a win. Do your part at your position, and then you played a key role in the win. But the whole team had to function in the same manner. EVERYONE HAD TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE BY DOING THEIR PART AS INDIVIDUALS. But every week, some how someway, someone on the team would be off and would fail to consistently do their job. And the team paid for it.
Right now, I’m doing life with 12 teenagers (I love Keely and Kish) and 2 adults. And when I say doing life, I mean the whole bang. We are living with each other in a cabin for a week, and working with each other at the same place. Eating together, sharing the same bathrooms (which really stinks), working 11 hours-a-day with each other, and due to tight quarters, I’m sharing a bed with one of the guy leaders. With all that going on, that typically spells disaster.
In all honesty, I was predicating just that. Who would have thought that a vision and goal set among teenagers, by teenagers, could be done without the fighting and bickering that is pretty typical in the weird life of teens (because adults never do that).
When we first started this venture, we really focused on what it means to be a community of Christ-followers. As a community of Jesus-people with a desire to see God exalted, what is to be expected? Whatever the age, if the goal is the same all across the board, you can move forward in confidence knowing the goal will be met. Praise God for the example set in ACTS 2:42!
