King David started as a teenager fighting Goliath. Josiah was 8 years old. Mary and Joseph were teens. They weren't the future, they were the present.
Tonight we had close to 20 kids over for youth home group. Luke Smith talked to us about loving Jesus, not making excuses, dropping everything when God calls and never looking back. What struck me was Luke 14:15-24 where Jesus tells of the Parable of the Great Banquet. Christ has a great feast awaiting us and I make excuses of how I'd rather eat my Spam instead of partaking in the Great feast.
My heart is burdened for these kids as they all are struggling with at least one of those four things. As Colby said, we see glimpses of something glorious and we need to step out in faith and act on it.

I notice the comment as well and talked to Kristen about in the latest Peltcast. Now is a gift, that is why it is called the present. (kung fu panda)
wow I really must not have been paying attention. I completely missed that comment, haha. In his defense, i would say the choir manager is very big on getting the kids to step up and make the choir their own. if they want something in the future then they have to work for it now, it's not just going to happen. but i agree with what you were saying :)
oh and thanks again for coming!! it was great seeing everyone there. i'm glad the church could fit all 40 of you ;)
So i guess you are not a fan of Whitney Houston's song "Greatest love of all"... she believes the children are our future....
