God Of This City
Hey Guys and Gals!
So I was listening to God Of This City by Chris Tomlin (from his new album Hello Love) and it is an amazing song. The first verse and the chorus really got me thinking:
V1: You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are
C: For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Regardless of what happens in San Francisco, God is the God of our city, the King of these People and the LORD of this nation. He is still our Great I Am, our Heavenly Father, and best of all, our loving Friend! He has put many great things in this city for us and he has greater things in store for us beyond what we can imagine.
I think this Inter-School group is one of the many great things to be done in this City and I have faith that together, we can be a part of the greater things yet to come. San Francisco is a sinful city and we are called to work for God to spread his love and his life saving message. Romans 5:20 says "God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant." and I think that is just where we are today.
God's increasingly abundant grace will work through us to make great changes and I hope everyone will think about what they can do and what they are needed to do in their local community, whether it be the school community, residential community, or church community, take the time to pray and listen to what part God wants you to play in the greater things yet to be done. My study bible has a very interesting comment on this passage from Romans: "... You know that if you stumble, you will not fall to the ground. Instead, you will be caught and held in Christ's loving arms." When we realize what God wants us to do, we may feel that it is an impossible task but rest assured that if we stumble, we will be caught and held by Christ and put back onto our feet.
May God bless you, work with you, and catch you!
His humble servant,
Tucson

another Balboa update
hi siblings from other schools!!
blogging for the sake of keeping ya'll informed about what's going on at Balboa's christian club. so, what's been up? something i felt was pretty nice and organized was one of our meetings two weeks ago. two of the members led an exercise where we drew a picture about what we felt it means to be a Christian at Balboa, or in the world. we then grouped up and shared our illustrations and our thoughts. my group had a really interesting discussion about how we can live out our faith in the midst of a school where the majority does not believe. yeah, i thought it was nice
i spoke to two members passing by in the middle of the hallway during lunch time, and we all agreed that we want the club to get stronger, for relationships to build, and God to be glorified in what we do. it's good to know that what goes on in my head is a shared sentiment by other club members :].
thank you so much all for your prayers for this Balboa Christian club! we humbly ask for you to continue praying for us, especially in the areas of direction and organization of the club. let us know how your club is doing! take care!
