The Decision to Come Back
Brett Favre wants to return to the NFL. This has made national headlines in the last week. I don't normally make comments on my blog about things that really have so little meaning in the scope of real life, but this situation brought to mind some other people I have dealt with in my years of ministry. Favre evidently regrets the decisions that he made that took him off of the playing field and now he wants to come back. He wants to come back on his terms. Who knows what the Packer organization will decide. It looks like they will not release him to do it his way but crazier things have happened in the hedonistic sports world. My point with all of this "meaninglessness' is, I know many people that have made decisions to walk away from the church. They stated all kinds of reasons that were very important to them (at least that is what the pontificated) but the road didn't turn out so great. I have talked with so many that would love to get back in the flow of things in Christ's kingdom, but they are not willing to come on God's terms. There is no area of compromise with God...you're either for him or against him. Sure, He will take you like you are but He won't leave you like you came. If you are reading this and have contemplated coming back to Jesus, don't fight the process. Just yield to the word of God and surrender to His beckoning. His grace is enough for you to make it back. It won't be too hard. It just seems that way on the outside. I promise it's better back in the fold, so come back home. We love you and we've still got a spot in the starting lineup.Labels: Brett Favre, c myles young, coming back to Jesus, decisions, Green Bay Packers, meaninglessness, NFL, regret, return, sports world

Happy Birthday America!
Is anybody thankful to live in the greatest nation on planet earth? I know that we have so many things that need to be adjusted and fixed, but in spite of all her warts the USA is still a wonderful place to call home. I listened tonight as my father in law read the Declaration of Independence to the grandchildren and was proud to be an American. If it has been a while since you have read the "Declaration of Independence", then do yourself a favor and revisit it. It's message is still relevant today. QUIZ: To whom is the document addressed? (you have to read it to find out....latter portion reveals answer).Labels: American, c myles young, Declaration of Independence, Pride, Statue of Liberty, USA

if I am reading this correctly, it says "appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world.." Who is that referring to? (public school must have failed me, for I do not know this) I would think it would be God, but I am unsure.

Pastor Young, this post has nothing to do with this article..I just wanted to take a minute to thank you from the bottom of my heart for preaching to us the way you did last night( Sun July 6th)I was overwhelmed by the burden you must feel on a daily basis..it really put things into perspective for me.Myself , Jason & girls con't to support you 100%. As Jason ramps up his business we pray it is successful so we can give more to the kingdom & take some of that burden off of you. PS..a praise report I made 20 sales last month which is a record for me & I am currently blowing all the other sales reps away with my success..I truly believe we are in the favor of the Lord even in these trying times.Thank you Jesus !!!!
Love you & your family so much,
Sis.Michele Pontius
Exhausted!
I feel like I have been run over by a truck. 16 services in 9 days has left me exhausted. The tent revival went incredible in Fayetteville. Can you say 95 degrees and 80% humidity? In spite of the heat the tent was full every night. We had a blast with the Mitchell's and prayed several through to the Holy Ghost. Thank you to all of you wonderful people from "First Church" you truly know how to take care of people.Labels: c myles young, don lance, Fayetteville, First Church, freedom week, holy ghost, robbie mitchell, san jose, tent revival
