What is INDEX?


What is INDEX? An index is 'a guide or pointer to facilitate reference' towards a goal. That goal is a Biblical one: "physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:8). We want to guide and equip STUDENTS & YOUNG WORKERS (ages 17-30), for the physical life in this world; but more importantly to encourage your spiritual growth in Godliness so you grow up mature and closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Weekend Away: 10 lessons from the Psalms

Last weekend was our weekend away.

We delved into Psalm 27, 73 and 51 and had an amazing time of seeking the Lord
together.

Here are the top 10 (I think!) things God made clear to me last weekend:

1. Worship means an acknowledgment of the worthiness of God that involves our
entire being - it is all consuming!

2. Our lives shouldn't contain acts of worship; our lives should be acts of worship!

3. Glorifying God in your body means expressing how great he is through who we
are.

4. We need to live like we believe what we say - the last thing the world wants is a
phoney follower of Christ.

5. Rather than approaching worship with a mindset of “what can I get from God”,
think, “what can I bring him”

6. Some of God’s greatest work in our lives happens by pruning, refining and
chiselling – not by dramatic events and not when things are going great.

7. Communion with God is what he desires for us, so if we’re not doing it and he’s
committed to it, he will take us to a place where we are desperate for him. He loves
us too much to leave us where we are.

8. Things always turn out badly when we play with sin. Look what happened to
David, “a man after God’s own heart”

9. Who you are when no one is looking is who you are!

10. Pray for God’s help and be resolved to worship whatever the circumstances may
be.
