Hey friends,

If you peeps are anything like me, there are times where you struggle with security. Sometimes you struggle with finding your security in other things instead of Jesus i.e. people, stuff, straight cash, drugs, school, etc. At other times you struggle with really understanding that because of Jesus', you are secure in him.

In either of these instances, the cure is to marinate, meditate, and focus on the gospel, the reality of who Jesus is and what he's done. Here is a great article to help you and I do just that. Read it and be encouraged.

I love this word because it's what we as followers of Jesus should do when it comes to him. We should be peeps who steep ourselves into the glorious truths of Jesus. With that in mind, here are some verses to think about as you go about your day and week. I trust that God will use these in your life to help you grow in your love for Jesus.

Hebrews 9:11-14: But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works uto serve the living God.

Today is a day that we as followers of Jesus particularly set aside to reflect on the death of the Savior and what that means for sinners like you and me. Of course, every day should be like that as we live by faith in Jesus and worship him for who he is and what he's done. Here is a video from my friend and yours, Shai Linne reminding us of the amazingness of the cross of Jesus and what is has accomplished for us.

Have you spent time just reflecting on what God has done, not just in your life, but in the lives of his people throughout history. Psalm 111 is a great reminder and history lesson that points us to what God has done. Here is a great article on this Psalm. As you read it, reflect on the awesomeness of your great God and Savior.

Some of you maybe have heard about this Bay Area brother (who the Warriors gave up) who went to Harvard, and is now playing very well for the New York Knicks. His name is Jeremy Lin. In the last week he has gone from a nobody to a player that is playing very well. The media is loving using his name for their story lines saying things like "It's Linsanity." "Happy VaLintines Day." or my personal favorite, "I don't always shoot 3's, but when I do, I prefer game winners." From the most Linteresting man in the world.

What is really interesting is like our boy Tim Tebow, Lin seems to have a deep love and desire for Jesus because of his saving him from his sin. Check out this interesting article that talks about that....http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/all-spheres-of-life-even-pro-basketball

Maybe that is you right now. It would be easy to respond with anger and doubt during difficult times, but God in his grace uses these times to bring us closer to him for his glory and our good. It is during these times that we need to be constantly reminding ourselves of who we are in Jesus. One of the greatest quotes I have ever read was this...." The problem with your spiritual depression is that you spend too much time listening to yourself and not enough time preaching to yourself." We as followers of Jesus should be preaching the gospel to each other everyday.

I found this article very encouraging and helpful. I trust that you will find it the same. One of my favorite old dead guys is a man by the name of J.C. Ryle. He was a preacher in England way back in the day (19th century) who loved Jesus and his Word. He like all of us was a wicked sinner who was saved by grace through faith in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. I believe God uses him here to help and encourage us as we grow in our relationship with God through reading, studying, and marinating on his Word. Read it and enjoy it!

It is easy as followers of Jesus and even false followers of Jesus to get caught up into religion instead of the glorious truths of the gospel of Jesus.

Here is a great article that I trust God's Spirit will use to do work in you. Check it out and ask yourself the questions, Where do I stand? Which one am I?

Have you ever wondered if there was an app to help you memorize God's Word? Well there is! It is called the fighter verses app. It is a really helpful tool. This past week's portion of God's Word was something great to marinate on. It is from Romans 10:12-15. Here is what is says...

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

These verses share with us that God rescues those who cry out to Jesus in faith  for the forgiveness and rescue of their sins! The reality is that apart from the Spirit opening up our eyes to this, we will not respond. The beauty is though that as God's Spirit opens our eyes to see who Jesus is and what he's done, we respond in faith. This should bring comfort to us as we think about the truth that God saves us through Jesus when we call on him. Verses 14-15 then challenge and encourage us as Jesus' followers to rep HIM by telling others about him! This means that God has rescued us to glorify him by living for and telling others about Jesus.

Think about the implication of that. God has chosen to use us as his followers to get his message of restoration and redemption out there. He is the one who saves, but he uses us to get his message out. So as you go through this week, ask God for captain obvious opportunities to share him and pray for boldness and grace to share who he is and what he's done. Then when God uses you, let us know so we can pray and rejoice once again for who Jesus is and what he's done!

REP THE KING. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

Good morning peeps!

I thought we would try something new here at ignitemylife.com. I figure this will be our trial run and you can tell us what you think. My thought is that every few weeks I will give you the news of what is going on and what you can be praying about. In addition to this, we will give you a portion of God's Word for you to marinate on throughout the week. It is our prayer that God uses this to help you in grow closer to him and to each other. So here is some things for you peeps to keep in mind over the next few weeks.

All Student Ministry: Dec. 31st is our service at the Gospel mission from 5:45-7:15pm. Come and help serve the meal and minister to the people there. TJ will be leading in singing and teaching so be praying for him.

This is just a reminder of  where you should be in your Mark study.

Beginning Jan 29th we will move onto the next study which will be on what it means biblically to experience or know God. From there we will study the book of Hebrews. Please be praying that God will use his word to change lives.

Here is what it involves....Dressing up like old people+Pasta+Peeps+Bingo+Prizes=Priceless! Cost is $10. Your leaders also have a sublime surprise for you. It's going to be so legit. This would be a great thing to invite a friend or enemy to. Be sure to sign up on Facebook. You can access our Facebook page right here on this site (Boomshakalaka!)

Prayer: Please be praying for your leaders that we will model Jesus to you and each other. Be praying for each other that God will draw us closer to Jesus and each other. Pray for Pastor Josh who has the opportunity to preach in big church on January 8th that God would use his word to transform lives. If there is anything that we can be praying about for you, let us know.

Verses to marinate on: As you know, Christmas is in 6 days!!! As you embark on your finals and some time off, marinate on this portion of God's Word. This is why everyday should be like Christmas to you.... Matthew 1:21.
