Brave & True

a Biblical thought...
What's more, I will be with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. I will someday bring you safely back to this land. I will be with you constantly until I have finished giving you everything I have promised. (Genesis 28:15)

a Book thought...
Christ alone is the head of the church, and he sets the agenda for the body. (p164)
a Dave thought...
The theme that our 301 delegates coming to INSANE 2010 will encounter this week is "Brave & True." The guiding scripture is 1 Corinthians 16:13 (The Message);

“Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you’ve got, be resolute, love without stopping.”

1- KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
At this point we begin the journey by challenging the delegates to examine their own life. This wake up call captures the attention of the delegates and introduces our key concepts.

2- HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR CONVICTIONS
We hold no pretense that young peoples’ attendance at this conference is indicative of a committed Christian faith.

3- GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT
At this point of the journey we clarify one of our key concept that To be Brave is to live a life of action for Jesus. Brave in that despite, fears and failures, low expectations and apathy, the delegates would pursue all that God has for them, the world and for eternity.

4- BE RESOLUTE
At this next step in the journey we clarify another of our key concepts that To be True is to stay totally loyal to Jesus. True in that despite ongoing temptations, societal pressures, and all the voices of compromise, they would continue to live a life that models monogamy with Jesus.

5- LOVE WITHOUT STOPPING
This final step in the Brave and True Journey is to reiterate the main points of the scripture and to again invite delegates to live a life Brave and True for Jesus out in the world. A life lived Brave and True for Jesus is bigger and better than any other. It is a life of action and freedom.

Just a thought.
