Surge in Review 8/29/12

There was a ton of energy last night at CYM.  It was fun seeing everyone get untangled and it was really awesome seeing kids and students worship their Creator!  Last night we talked about ways we could continue being a Christ Follower at school.  We talked about the pressures to act and talk like those who are not.  We looked at 4 specific ways to "Connect" so that we could persevere by being who we say we are.

1. We need to connect with God through prayer-prayer is vital for helping us resist temptation
2. We need to connect with God's word- knowing what the right things are is vital for us to follow through
3. We need to connect with Christ Following friends-find someone in your school who has the same standards as you and stick with them
4. We need to connect with Adults-find adults who will pray for you constantly  

Students at CYM were: Makensey, Alley, Alexis, Chrissy, Hailey, Katie, Corrie, Kim, Jonathan, Ryan, Elijah, Alex, Luke, Zach, Colten, Jayson, and Brian

Last night we talked about one of the craziest stories in all of Scripture...David and Bathsheba found in 2 Samuel 11.  Our main focus last night is to be students and people of integrity.  Are we the same people by ourselves as we are when we are at church or at school?  If we are by ourselves do we watch the same shows on TV as we would if our parents were watching TV with us?  Do we listen to the same songs by ourselves that we'd feel comfortable enough to share those with a friend or through the sound system in the CYM room?  Which of your electronic devices tempts you the most?  TV, Phone, Computer?  What steps are you taking to create accountability for the times you are alone?

Students in attendance were: Makensey, Alexis, Chrissy, Donya, Hailey, Katie, Corrie, MJ, Kim, Frankie, Jonathan, Ryan, Zach, Colten, Luke, Christian, Jeremiah, Jeigh, Mason, and Brian.
