Winners of The Free Lunch

2009-03-02T10:12:00.000-08:00

Well, Congratulations to Amos, Dan, and Kelsie. You guys have won the privelege of leaving school for a free lunch this week. Kelsie, just let me know how we can get you out of class for a bit to hang with us in V-Dale sometime this week.

I'm glad that you guys are a bit confused, but still interested in the issues pertaining to death, judgement, and the events all in that process. Maybe we can dig deeper into that after the "Journey" series is finished...maybe.

Keep checking this site daily to see what is new, developing, contests, or random rants by me. Peace out!

So, as new and inyteresting things develop they will be mentioned on this page. THis page will be used for you to print off permission slips, pictures, and to simply keep up-to-date throughout the week.

The first three people to sign up to "comment" on this blog will be given a free lunch this week! That's right, I will personally take you out (away from school) for lunch! Get signed up, and then figure out what you want to eat!

Peace out!

shift. more than motions.

In the book of Matthew there is a story of Jesus hanging out with some religious leaders called “Pharisees.” Pharisees believed their salvation would come from living in accordance to a strict rule-system. Basically, if they did the “right things” in the “right ways”… they would go to Heaven (so they thought). The Pharisees even had a crazy hand washing ritual they had to do before they ate. They believed that anyone who didn’t wash their hands as they did… was sinning and dirty.

So,Jesus went to eat dinner at a Pharisee’s house, and He didn’t wash his hands. The Pharisees scoffed. They looked down on Jesus. So, like any amazing person would do—Jesus put them in their place. “You hypocrites… you may tithe, but you have forgotten the important things in life, like: justice, mercy, and faith. You should practice these without neglecting the former.”—Matthew 23:23

Jesus taught a different message than that of the Pharisees. Jesus said this about himself, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.”—John 14:6
See, lots of people have thought they can earn their way into Heaven. Jesus says its not about our motions, but our heart-condition. So here at shift , you’ll learn how your heart affects your motions. As Christ-followers, our hearts connect with God, causing motions to align with His purposes. shift. more than motions.
