It's time to get into a Real relationship with Jesus. No more camp highs or short-lived commitments. The Christian Life is meant to be lived daily!
This book will teach teens the "How To's" for being an effective Christian. When they know what it takes to live committed for Christ, they will have a mark to aim for.
My prayer is that this information will instigate growth, so teens can become all that God has designed them to be.

I love watching the NFL especially when the Cowboys are winning. As I watch with excitement, it is clear to me that the player’s abilities are on an elevated level. Back in the day, I played some Jr. High ball and it was nothing worth watching. I remember going out to practice and across the campus was the senior football team. They looked like giants to this little seventh grade boy who weighed all of 95 lbs. When you think about it, there are so many levels of the game. There’s pee wee, jr. high, high school, college, and the NFL. All are football, but there’ a big difference in ability, productivity, and understanding.
Our Christian life has many levels as well. In fact, the bible says that “deep calls unto deep,” meaning you can get as much of God as you want. Too many believers settle for a limited understand of God. God loves it when people get focused enough to elevate their commitment to Him. This week don’t keep playing in the pee wee league of faith it’s time to grow, produce and elevate to the next level believer. There’s no doubt athletes who play in the NFL are committed to the game. How committed are you to becoming a better follower of Christ?
Focus point: Elevate your game to a greater level than the current Christianity you practice.

In my current place in life I’m over run with toys that require batteries. It seems like every time I turn around there’s another birthday, holiday, or special event. It’s so entertaining to watch my kid’s faces as they open a present to see this super looking toy, so colorful and shiny. It’s like the toy is screaming “PLAY WITH ME!” But no matter how cool it looks, without batteries it can never live up to what it’s designed to be. The batteries are the source that ACTIVATES the toy to reach its full potential.
The same is true with our spiritual life. There’s no way we can live up to our potential without God as our source. It doesn’t matter how bright and shiny you look, or how great your talents are, you’ll never measure up without HIM. God is the Activator! Everything comes alive when you really know God. He wants to ACTIVATE your spirit to: long for him, grow in him, and believe Him. Why? Because there are so many crazy truths God is waiting to share with you.
Focus Point: Activate motionless Christianity by making God your source.

We just had a week in Honduras, and as we were flying back to Houston it was very clear to me how blessed I am. We live in a very fast-paced world full of deadlines, packed calendars, and quick text messages that keep us moving for what reason? It might be to accomplish more, to feel like we have a purpose, to fight off the numbing shackles of boredom, or maybe all of the above. Yes, we are to be good stewards with our time, and accomplishment is a sign of success—or is it? The Bible says that “a man can gain the whole world and lose his soul,” (Luke 9:25). See, by the world’s standards you can amass a huge empire, have power and prestige, but by God’s standards still have nothing. This blog is not to throw a coup into your daily schedule. It’s just to remind you of the most important thing…your relationship with God. Many times we are “doing” so much for God that He has our hands but not our hearts. (more…)
