Last night at X-treme Disciples, we discussed 1 Peter 1:13-16. If you haven’t noticed, this contains the verses that are the theme on our T-shirts and our blog site. Prepare Your Mind For Action. What does it mean to prepare your minds for action? In the Apostle Peter’s time this was a common phrase. ‘Prepare for…action’ meant tucking your long cloak into your belt and get ready to do some work. Look around you. Are there places that action is needed? I think that if you open your eyes and truly look to the people around you, you will see that there is a lot of work to do. As followers of Christ, we should be ready to do the work that he has instructed us to do. I believe that means that we have to know what God is calling us to do. Listening for his voice, studying the scripture, and meeting with other Christ followers, are some ways that we can prepare our minds for action. Let’s be self-controlled, setting our hope fully on God’s grace, and strive to be Holy, like he is Holy.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Student Life Tour. I think this will be a really great weekend!

Also, join us for our announcement for the Souper Bowl of Caring on Sunday. Joel is working on a funny song. I have a feeling it will be great. I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
