| 65. I'm a Big "Patrick Roy" Fan. |
| From Deep Thoughts by Gman on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 @ 1:01 PM PST in the "Blog" Category. I admit I'm a Patrick Roy fan ...so big that my oldest daughter if born a boy would of been named after him. (No lie - Wayne Gretzky Fess was too cunning and so we liked the name Patrick and Roy after my middle name and Grandfather hence the name though Valerie didn't know until later it was a famous player) so Roy being named the AVS new coach is just the right thing to do. It adds to the list of great players now GMs or Coaches like the CAPS Coach - or the TB's GM Yzerman, or great coaches like Wayne ...(OK maybe the Great One had a bad time) I'm a big fan of OVIE too seeing him drafted in NC. But really one of the greatest goaltenders ever to coach ...(BTW I still have his rookie card and though I have some dislike of the HABS and AVS) Patrick Roy will bring name, fame recognization for the AVS. So congrats and kudos to the AVS. (IT could be worse at least you don't have Barry Melrose coaching ...what was TB thinking?)http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/ZioO Read More... |

| 67. 10 reasons to give the gospel in every youth talk |
| From Dare 2 Share Ministries International on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 @ 7:39 AM PST in the "Blog" Category. 1. It may be the only time a teenager visits your group and hears the gospel (1 Corinthians 14:24.) 2. The same gospel that saves the unbelieving teens, sanctifies believing ones (1 Corinthians 1:18.) 3. "I preach the gospel to myself everyday because I forget it everyday." (If it's true of Luther its true of our teens!) 4. "I take my text and make a beeline for the cross." Good enough for Spurgeon, good enough for me! 5. "For I resolved to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2.) 6. It supercharges the atmosphere and creates a climate of selflessness and excitement (Acts 4:31-33.) 7. It triggers spiritual warfare which always livens things up (Ephesians 6:10-12.) 8. It exponentially advances the kingdom of God and that's why you got into youth ministry. Right? (Colossians 1:6.) 9. It heals the brokenhearted and hurting...which many of our teens are (Luke 4:18.) 10. It allows you and your teens an opportunity to taste and see God's glory firsthand (2 Thessalonians 2:13,14.)

| 68. The 3: Go-To Games (Josh) |
| From YouthMinistry.com on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 @ 6:02 AM PST in the "Blog" Category. Crisis! You've got 10 minutes to come up with a great youth ministry game for your students. What do you do? Chances are, you reach into your back pocket and pull out an old standby game that works time and time again. Here are a few classics that can be ready in an instant. Cell Phone Shootout The game host has a cell phone and the first person to call the number on the screen and get connected wins a prize. It works best when everyone in the crowd has access to a cell phone and you're okay with them breaking them out during this part of the service. If you want to spice it up, have the first person to text in a specific message on the screen to the host win. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Maximize the Fun In Your Youth Group with the Ball and Game Bundle! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sit Down If… Another instant classic you can make up as you go. Have everyone in the crowd stand up. The winner is the last person standing. Begin to call out things that, if they are true about that person, they need to sit down. Here are some examples: Sit down if … you are wearing jeans. Sit down if … you didn't brush your teeth today. Sit down if … you are wearing a hat.read more Read More... |
| 69. Youth Worker BOOST: You're Not Alone |
| From youthministry360 on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 @ 5:06 AM PST in the "Resources" Category. ym360 knows youth workers. We know what an incredibly rewarding, yet incredibly challenging job youth ministry can be. There are days when your spirits are sky-high, and there are days when you could use a bit of a "pick me up" from God's Word . . . That's why we're happy to offerYouth Worker Boost, one of the many valuable resources on the ym360 Blog.Boost is a short, weekly piece of encouragement designed to, well, "boost" your spirits and encourage you as you minister to students. We consider it yet another great opportunity to serve you and your ministry.CLICK HERE to have the Youth Worker Boost delivered right to your inbox whenever we publish a new one! We call these the E-BOOST! "I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber."--Psalm 121:1-3This is one of those beautiful passages of Scripture that is uplifting and oft-quoted. But what did David actually mean when he envisioned his help coming from the hills?There's actually a lot of debate over what David meant in the first verse of this psalm.Some say that the hills represented the high ground militarily and that there is a contrast here between the power of man and the power of God. Others say the hill was where the Temple stood and since the Holy of Holies was where the presence of God abided, David was saying his strength came from God who "was up on that hill."Regardless of the interpretation, the point is the same: David was a man who knew that his total source of strength came from God. And it gave David great comfort to know that in all he faced in life, his God would never sleep. David was being watched over twenty-four hours a day.We know at times youth ministry can be a very lonely calling. But you need to be reminded that you're never alone. God is constantly watching over you.From His vantage point on His holy hill, God never takes His eyes off of your situation.Our prayer for you: We pray that this truth--that God is constantly watching over you--would be more than mere words, but would be internalized and fully grasped. And that the knowledge of God's presence would carry you through today and the future.
