Reckless Youth

Hey I'm Logan, Youth Pastor at Lake Harvest Community Church.

I decided to call the youth group Reckless Youth. Why you may ask? Because of one verse that struck me. Philippians 1:21 which says: "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain". Think about that for a minute. "to live is Christ". Christ lived life as a rebal, he turned peoples lives upside down with his teachings, he had a Pharisees up in arms at what he did and said. Christ was reckless in his ways in that he didn't care if people disagreed and hated him for what he did. Christ went against society for their own good. He did what He did out of Love.

So I came up with the name Reckless. Not only because its a cool name(well I think so), but also as a creed if you will. A constant reminder that if we as youth are to truely live our lives for God, to have a relationship with God and to show God's Love and compassion, we need to be reckless as Christ was. We need to stop caring about what others think and say to our actions, for as long as our actions are for Christ, peoples judgements are naught.

So if you read this and your sick of just going with the flow in your Christian walk or stuck with the status quo of "normal" Christain life, get Reckless for God. We all know whats right and wrong. Start living like Christ.

God Bless
