Ichthus 08

This past weekend we went on our annual youth retreat to Ichthus Festival in Wimore, KY. The bands and seminars were great! Speaker Justin Lookadoo had a guy skydive over the crowd during his seminar; Caleb Bislow talked about being an unusual soldier for Christ; David Crowder played one of his songs on a Guitar Hero controller; and the list goes on.

Despite the severe rainstorm that hit us on Friday, the weather was far better than last year. With hotels near by and a laundry mat to dry out our sleeping bags, we had nothing to fear.

Our meals were great! Katherine made a grilled cheese sandwich one afternoon.

Wesley and Peter: Just too cool.

How Not To Be A Fool

Over the last three weeks we learned how not to be a fool. We learned to ask a very important question: "What is the wise thing to do?" In every invitation, opportunity, and relationship, this question will direct you better than the question, "Is it right or wrong to...?"

Why? When we ask ourself if it is right or wrong to do something, we tend to follow our feelings and emotions rather than what is truly wise. So, in light of your PAST experience, your CURRENT circumstances, and your FUTURE hopes and dreams, what is the WISE thing to do?

Last week I skimmed over a few benefits to wisdom. Here are the scriptures that support those benefits. See if you can figure out what the benefits are.

Proverbs 1:1-5 & 8:15
Proverbs 9:11
Proverbs 11:30
Proverbs 14:24
Proverbs 21:20
Proverbs 14:35
