Who is on the Lord's Side

Today's lesson is putting things on the line. There is no neutral position. If you want just power in this life then you can get it from many sources.

Make a lot of money and you can have the fleeting pleasures and powers that money can give you. You will lose your soul if you give it to the love of money. You can also link up with Satan and there is a real measure of power there also - but the end is disaster - the Lord Jesus will judge all including the powerful and dangerous Satan - he and his followers will be punished in hell forever - that is indeed scary but the real truth.

The real and ultimate power in the universe is found in the life changing and saving power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The thing is - you can't be neutral about Him. If you continue to resist the work of the Holy Spirit that convicts us of sin and leads to the truth of who Jesus Christ is - you will find that you are on the side of Satan himself anyway. To continue to reject and resist the Holy Spirit is the same as "blaspheming" the Holy Spirit and that is the only sin that is unforgivable - it is also the one sin that will keep you from even asking for forgiveness.

Instead, we need to "own" the truth of Jesus for ourselves. We need to submit to, to love on, and confess that Jesus is Lord - we need to make Him our Lord and Savior and find in Him all of our real joy and blessing and strength. He is indeed worthy - He indeed is great and mighty to save!

Spend some time this week going over the text of today's lesson.
Remember to review the books of the Bible.

Pray for your family, friends and your church family as well. Take time to worship the Lord as you think on all that He has done and will do for you.
Find creative ways to help your parents and family around the house. Next time you are supposed to do something that is a little hard - shock your parents - do it with a smile!
Also, take time to worship and really enjoy God - sing to Him! You will be blessed for it!

See ya next week - Lord Willing

Welcome Young Christians to YCBM!

This blog was created for the "edification" (or, building up in the faith) of the Young Christians in the 4th-6th grade classes of CCR (Calvary Chapel Redding)   

It is your teachers' desire to point you to the powerful Word of God for equipping and encouraging and maturing as you face the challenges of growing into powerful men of God in these last days.  

Please feel free to email us your questions or comments or prayer requests - we would love to hear from you and respond to you either in writing or by remembering to pray for specific requests.  

We will introduce the idea behind the name YCBM at the "Boys Only" party Sunday 08/03/08 after church.  If you are unable to attend please email for an update on what we discussed. 

Everything on this site revolves around the YCBM concept - it is not for public knowledge - it is for you and your parents only to know about.  So, please keep this blog confidential but be sure to respond to it ok? 

Here is your first assignment!  Whether or not your are leaving our class for higher learning or not you are to memorize the books of the Bible - no excuses - no whimps - we are not letting any member of this blog get off on this assignment - we may have optional stuff later on but this is not optional!  There will be re numeration (look it up) that you will like!  

All for now - 

More instructions to follow - 

Remember the key verse from Sunday 08.03.08  - Romans 1:16 - Memorize it - Live it!  Thank God for it!

all for now
