Ridiculously Stupid

So I've made this comment now for the past two weeks: I want God to do something so ridiculously stupid on our behalf (as Fusion Student Ministries and Ridge Pointe Church) that people look at us and can't explain it.  I want God to use us in a way that has not been seen before, not because of something we have done but because God is using us in a new and mighty way.  Shane had mentioned last week in service that we were no longer going to "entertain" people.  I could not agree more.  Our goal as a youth group and as a church is for people to grow closer to God as a result from being in our church.  It's time that Christians (notice not everyone) came to church for the right reasons.  If your goal is not to grow closer to God and see others do the same then I would argue that you don't get it.  I feel like for almost 5 months I have allowed myself to simply entertain teenagers.  As a result I was miserable.  God does not desire for us to be stagnant in our faith; He desires a faith that is constantly moving closer and closer to Him.  God desires for His Kingdom to be advanced in a mighty way.  It will take a youth group and a church that are open to God for His will to be done in a "ridiculously stupid" kind of way.
