Hi! I don't know if this is already a part of the program or not, but today in youth group my youth pastor brought up a list of things early church Christians would do that we don't always do now. Like praticing accountability. I may or may not have remembered that part correctly 😅 Feel free to fact check me. What I am trying to say is that, I feel in my heart that I should start doing this. If anyone wants to be my accountability partner and vice versa please reach out :)

Hi friends. I was reading through the Bible recently and I came across Mark 7:19: (Mark 7:18-19 NASB) And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding as well? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” **(Thereby He declared all foods clean.)** [Emphasis added] I never came across this before and I find it very interesting. (I realize the reason why I have never seen it before is because the parentheses do not appear in the NKJV) But I find it pretty interesting. What do you guys think? Was Jesus declaring all foods clean here? Or did that come with Paul? Perhaps this isn't that big of a deal, but I have been thinking about how us Gentile Christians don't keep the ceremonial/traditional Jewish laws and feasts.

We want to hear your questions. Even if you're afraid they'll make you look dumb! Actually... ESPECIALLY if you're afraid they'll make you look dumb. That means a lot of other people have probably had the same question, but have been too afraid to ask. Real growth only happens with real questions. So ask away! A few rules: - Be positive, uplifting and kind. Always - no exceptions. - Stay on topic. Bible. God. Christianity. - No debates. If you must say something, leave one message of **gentle** pushback, but no more. - Focus first on serving before being served (asking "dumb" questions is a great way to serve).
