Divisional Youth Meeting

a Biblical thought...
Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors. But God isn't so easily diverted. He sees right through all such smoke screens and holds you to what you've done. (Romans 2:2)

a Book thought...
Successful leaders live the values of the company 24/7 and continually set the culture. Culture comes from the top. (p181 FBF)
a Dave thought...
It was a lot of fun being a part of the Melbourne Central Divisional Youth Meeting last night at Macleod. Sarah led a great worship time, James gave a really challenging testimony & the interview Naomi conducted with Sonia let us all know something we all really wanted to know -Sonia is a scruncher!
We asked all the young people present to spur each other on (Hebrews 10:24) and had a time to reflect and contribute some thoughts on this. It was really encouraging to see what a faith community could look like if we prayed for each other, thanked each other, cared for each other, and believed in each others dreams. So let us keep on encouraging each other & I'm sure we will continue to see amazing youth emerge out of MCD.

Just a thought.

Wow, that's a pretty good turn up, James was giving a testemony, Naomi interviewing, Sarah leading worship... was Ezekiel there too speaking words of prophecy, and Simon walking on water, or David building the temple, and was Noah building an ark there too?

Sounds like it was a good night!
