yasm friends who have been gone for the summer

I just wanted to remind everyone to be in prayer for 3 of our leaders who have been gone all summer. Paul Gabler had been in Florida taking some classes, remember to pray for him, he will be back in a couple of weeks. Paul is a huge blessing to our ministry. He is our Web designer and has done a outstanding job and has been a huge help in our ministry.

Derrick has been working at a camp all summer and will be back at the beginning of September. Pray for him, he is working with teenagers, and sharing Christ with them.

Also Alex is traveling all over the country with an evangelism team. They have already seen many people come to the Lord this summer!

Pray that God will bring all of them back safely. I cannot wait to see each one of them, and to hear how GOD is working in there lives.

Post a comment to shout out to them!

today

today was a great day. God reminded me of so many things that i so often seem to push aside and forget. I was reminded once again of how selfish I am as an individual and how selfish we are so many times as a community. God has called us to be different. He has called us not to be served but to serve! Not to be loved but to love!

this quote today really made me think: "i declare that God owns it all, yet I act with all the manic possessiveness of a sleep-deprived toddler at a Christmas party."

YASM Fast

This Wed. night we are starting another yasm fast. We will fast from 7pm Wed. until 7p.m. on Thursday. We will meet at the Church in the yasm class room @ 7pm THURSDAY! I hope and pray you can all make it out. God has some awesome things in store for all of us! Remember to be faithfully in the WORD this week!

Why I Love Rosedale Baptist Church!

I love it. Everything about it! The music, the Teaching, the Preaching, all of it! God has blessed us so much to allow us to be a part of it! Praise the Lord!

Baltimore Christian College

Bcc is now accepting applications! Pastor will be teaching one of the classes, "The Life of Christ". Everyone should consider taking this! We will be moving our Bible Study day from Thursdays to either Sat. or Monday to make it possible for all of us to be a part of this new and exiting ministry!

another awesome week to be a part of yasm

This past week was amazing! Bible study this past Thursday night was awesome! If you did not attend I hate to break it to you but you missed out! check the slice of the week on the yasm home page to see what went on.

Sunday was off of the hook as well. Those of you who come once in a while when you "have time", I want to encourage you to be faithful on Sunday mornings as well as Bible Study and accountability. You and I will never reach our potential spiritually unless we get to the point where church is not an option but a necessity!

Brick Oven Pizza

Last night I had the pleasure of going to brick oven pizza for the second time. Can I just say UNREAL! try the chicken ranch it you ever decide to check it out!

yasm Bible Study

Yasm Bible Study Thursday night was unreal. I would like to thank all of those who shared your Testimonies about your mission trips! They were all great!

Also I would like to praise the Lord for Justin and Ash, Becca, and Abner and wes for there ministry in music! AWESOME!

I had a couple people say:"Best Bible Study Ever"

Yasm yesterday

What an amazing 10:00am gathering yesterday! Ashley, Justin, stellar job,
the worship was unreal! Meagan, Chevy, Wes, the trio was off of the hook! I am so glad to be a part of a ministry where everyone is welcome, and, where all gifts and talents can be used to bring glory to HIS name, to bless, to encourage, to uplift and to edify the body of Christ, the Church!

God is so good! May you all have a blessed and peaceful day. Remember, Show the Love of Christ to someone today.

Another yasm missionary leaves today

I am so blessed to be a part of a ministry, full of people who are serving in so many different ways. Please be in prayer for Lydia. She is leaving today for a mission trip to France. She is one of the leaders taking teens to do mission work there. Remember her for the next week in your prayers.

Also do not forget about other missionaries we have out this Summer: Adam Bell, Derrick Hiatt, Alex Hockett, and many that have already had successful trips this summer.

Remember, the place that shines the farthest, shines the brightest at home.

the 4th

I woke up this morning, took a shower. Got ready. Drove to Starbucks. Drank a Grande organic misto. Drove to my office. Read. Got online. In a few minutes will go eat. Spend time with friends. Tonight I will go to church. Here God's word. Pray. Leave. Go watch fireworks. Go home. Go to bed. Wake up and do it all over again.

Across the ocean, a young man my age has been up all night. Hungry. Has not eaten in a while. Has no clean water. Has lost many siblings and family members to starvation. To abuse. To addiction. To death. Has never been to a starbucks. Has never been to a picnic. does not know of church. knows of prayer, but only as a act of crying out for help to a god made of wood or stone. Will possibly die never hearing about the love of Christ.

Think about it. Most of us by noon today will have complained about something. (as we sit at our picnic) coasting through life doing nothing about anything. My challenge today: MAKE A DIFFERENCE--Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

keep it real

The more I study the life of Christ the more I love Him. Why? Because Christ was what he claimed to be. Christ, unconditionally loved people. Many people take claim to doing the same but in reality are most of the time self promoters taking a shallow stance when put in a situation when one is actually different than they are. By nature we are tribal people, usually gravitating to those who we can relate to the most. Those, who are like we are. We separate (to a specific tribe) so often, and are divided by: Style of Music, clothing, social status, race, north and south, part of town one is from, denomination, economic status, ect. that we belong to... We tend to treat people differently according to what category we may rank in, or what tribe we fall into. The one thing it has taken myself so long to understand is, that God has created all, regardless of what tribe we consider ourselves to be part of, and he has called us (Christians)(Christ Followers) to do exactly that, to follow HIM. To live in Him and for us to allow Him to live in us.

Christ love is unconditional. Christ Loves the poor and rich the SAME. Christ loves the same regardless of skin color, and ethnic background. His love is deep. So much deeper than the shallow love that says, I love you as long as you agree with me. Christ loved, whether they agreed with Him or not. Christ loved NO MATTER WHAT! I have heard many say that peace and love is just a hippie thing. If I read my Bible correctly, true peace and love IS NOT A HIPPIE thing! It is a GOD THING!

Any Question read this:

Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Psalms 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Luke 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

Luke 6:32-38 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Luke 20:45-47 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
I could keep going but I think we all understand. WE NEED TO SPEAK WHEN GOD SPEAKS AND BE SILENT WHERE HE IS SILENT!

LOVE WINS Again

even when it seems bad, He is good! I just want to PTL today for how good He is to us! We have so much to be thankful for! We have so many reasons to PTL. What a great day yesterday! The Fire works were off of the hook last night! RBC is a great place to be! What has God shown any of you, or, how has He blessed you recently! Lets hear it this morning.

New yasm refreshment coordinator

Praise the Lord! Annie will now be in charge of refreshments. Chuck and Sara have done a great job the past 2 years with this ministry, and we are thankful for them, and how God has used them in YASM. Thank you guys.

The new process will be: sign up on the sheet. Annie will call you on Thursday night to remind you. This will give you a couple of days to get something to bring. Also she will follow up again Sat. morning online if you are a computer junkie or she will give you a courtesy reminder for those of us who procrastinate.

Thank all of you for your faithfulness in this ministry.

The GREATEST DAYS IN YASM ARE THE DAYS AHEAD!
