Dear RTF and Suzie, I have recently wanted to be closer to God. My family does not go to church, and I don’t know if my sister even believes there is a God. I do believe there is one, but I need a starting point, and I don’t know where to begin, because I feel my life would be more meaningful if I had a closer relationship to God.
Please give me some ideas of how I can do this, I would greatly appreciate it. And also, can I do this without going to church, or would it be better to attend a church if I could? Because I actually do like to go to church, when I go with my grandma. Thank you so much. Erin H. (more…)

Rough youth was a path to teen ministry
Greg Stier’s Dare 2 Share
Excerpt: One of Greg Stier’s earliest and most vivid memories is of his mother taking a baseball bat to smash a car and then bloody the man inside it, one of a string of husbands. Stier, founder of the Arvada-based international youth ministry Dare 2 Share, later converted his own fierce mother to Christianity.

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philipians 3:8
A lot of things are considered valuable. People. Cold hard cash. Nintendo Wii. A Coach purse.
But how valuable is our relationship with Christ?

“Any task that comes from the Maker of the universe is important,” writes Henry Blackaby in Experiencing God. “Don’t use human standards to measure the important or value of the task God gives.”

Hello,
I was just seeking some counsel. I have grown up in church and have known God all throughout my life. My friends have always said that I have a unique and close relationship with God. I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. Right now I feel like I am being pulled away from God. I don’t know how to explain it.
