The Burn
Ain't no foolin'. We're having the Burn this Wednesday, April 1 at Tigard Christian Church from 7-8:30. You won't want to miss this night of worship, games and meeting Christians from other youth groups in our area.
This night is for both High & Mid school. We will meet at Tigard Christian Church.
Danger Zone
Because we are going to the Burn on Wednesday, there will be no Danger Zone on Thursday.

2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
No Excuses
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:20)
"Yeah, but . . . they didn't know about evolution when Paul wrote this, right? They didn't know about the big bang and Darwin's theory. They didn't have the Discovery channel. If they had, maybe Paul would have written this differently?"
Whatever your take on the dance between the terminology of creation and evolution, Paul's words here stand as God's Word. God is knowable from what He has made. What He has made, in part, is conveniently listed in chapter 1 of His book. Creation reveals Him. Who could create the universe from nothing without endless power? How could any being create the universe good if He were not God?
I've heard all the debates (and I've mangled a few arguments), but the first step to dismissing God is denying the reality of His act of creation. Some people are fine with that. Others want a lesser god. Paul said none of us get a pass for missing the obvious -- that He made it all.
Think: What are some of the things God's creation tells us about Him?
Pray: Thank God for revealing His character by what He has made.
Do: Make another list: Start it with two items -- eternal power and divine nature. Follow those with other of God's qualities that are obvious from His creation.
