WA Youth

a Jesus thought...
I still have many things to tell you, but you can't handle them now. But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won't draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor me; he will take from me and deliver it to you. Everything the Father has is also mine. That is why I've said, 'He takes from me and delivers to you.' (John 16:13-15)

a Godly thought...
The cross is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering which every man must experience is the call to abandon the attachments of this world. (p79 Bonhoeffer)

a leading thought...
Disciplined focus is what distinguishes those who make things happen from those who watch things happen. (p93 Newman)

a Dave thought...
Yesterday it was a privilege to be involved with the graduation of 8 trainees here in WA. Shahe & Darrell (DYs) do a fabulous job in training and equipping youth leaders from across the division. They also encourage them to complete a certificate III or IV in youth work which yesterday was focused on honouring.
It was a great day as we then proceeded to the beach with the young adults from the division and concluded the evening at Cafe 130. Through many insightful one on one conversations with these guys it made me realise the young Salvos coming through are perhaps even more passionate & educated than those of us who have gone before them. So let us continue to resource and believe in our youth today, they are our future and deserve our attention.

Just a thought.
