There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.  John 1:6-8 NIV

Do you ever feel like you don’t have much to offer? I don’t know if JTB (John the Baptist) felt this way, but just the other night I met someone who does. Her statement reminded me of this scripture. (more…)

I woke again to the sound of thunder so loud that it shook the windows. Hail pelted the house. My cat was on the deck, plastered to the window screen, crying to be let in.

Rain again.

The weather guy on TV looks tired. He points to the screen behind him. “Rain,” is all he seems to mouth. Blah. Blahdee. Blah. Blah.  (more…)

Hello, I know I dont know u and really dont know much about you but i was just scrollin down and desided to pick this website for some reason… I live in Texas but just recently moved to another city for school.. Im almost 17 and its been 2 years now that im a christian but 1 year that i’ve actually gave up my life and every minute of it for his glory… he’s saved me and i feel thats the least i can do! Going to school here is a struggle in my walk of faith because there are so much none believers here.. i know im here 4 a reason -not only education but to talk about christ and how he can save them to! It getz harder everyday so im asking if you can please pray for me and this school which has so much negativity. Thank you for your time.. May God continue to bless you.. Take care.. Guadalupe S., 17

We get tons of e-mails and behind-the-scenes comments from teens here at RTF. I want to start sharing some of them with you, some of the 100 to 200 teens who visit this site every day. I’m not going to edit them or try to make them perfect (though I’ll not use any personal details like last name or where you live). I just want the heart of what teens are saying to be out there.

Will you pray with me for Guadalupe and his school right now? Put it all down for one minute and let’s join together and pray that God will help him in his faith walk, and that Christ will rock this school with God’s love and presence and revival.

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?

My Old Self

I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. . . Galatians 2:21a

Kierra looked across the room at her hero.

“When I see you, I know I can make it,” she said. “You are the only person that I know that has beat drugs. I hope I can one day be like you.”

Have you ever been frustrated? I have. In fact, this past three weeks have been both amazing AND frustrating. I moved to a new home. I love it! I love our new community. I love the new friends I’m making.

But I don’t love being disconnected.

I thought the only place you couldn’t get phone service or Internet was in the remote jungles of Brazil. But you guessed it! I can’t get it in my new home–at least, not yet.

It’s caused me problems with my writing. 100% of what I do is online–sending manuscripts; talking to editors; blogging; research. . .

I’ve had to find a few little hot spots in my city and soak up cyberspace rays to check e-mail, but I’m ready to be connected again.

This may seem like a small thing, and it is comapred to the big stuff like sickness, poverty, parents divorcing, or any other life-changing interruption. So I’m asking God for patience, and we at RTF are also hoping you’ll hang with us until we are fully back online again.
