Project Change Weekly Messages

This is where I say a sappy, rambling, sleep-deprived maybe-goodbye. 

Club Members:

Oh wait, I can't get the Club Members.

I can't get the stupid, STUPID club members list to work on my computer.. oh well. 抖阴社区 Incorporated (or whatever you are), I've always hated your half-rate service and regret that PC didn't have a better platform to live on. You're a good idea with a lousy follow-up and no maintenance whatsoever. Like seriously?? WHEN YOU ADD A FRIEND or ADD A BOOK or whatever, at some point you should be able to reliably trust, reliably (That word you seem so unfamiliar with) that you will know when they post something and people like me won't have to invent ghetto versions of Youtube's subscriber notifications called "Club Members". When.. when...  WHEN TWITTER, has it right, and YOUTUBE even has it right, and you have it wrong, that's called laziness. I could make an account with Weekly Messages just about how much y'all don't do y'alls job.

Okay. I've wanted to say that for a while. Now I'm gonna get serious. This could be a sad day for PC, and I don't really know what will come of it.

 Pass this chapter on to the other people. will ya? You guys get the tagging thing better than me.

                                                                      THE DEATH(?) OF PC

I guess I should explain why there hasn't been any Weekly Messages or anything else lately. For a little over an entire year I prayed and fasted and fought for PC to change someone's life, to teach what I still believe is the Word of God, and to lead someone to Jesus Christ..

And I think we were able to, to some extent. I remember all of the very... uhh..  interesting conversations me and Always have had with you guys. I believe we talked a few people out of suicide. We were used by God to help some people with a lot of different things. We made friends, made a platform to talk about all sorts of things, tried (and failed time and again) to make a Bible 101 that people wanted to read, and made more than a few stupid mistakes along the way. 

But they were fun mistakes. Mostly.

 We tried a lot of different things, scrapped most of the terrible ideas I threw out, and because of the grace and blessing of God made a powerful, widespread ministry. People were coming in and being a part of our ministry like never before.

And then it happened. 

I stopped getting messages for PC. I tried, I prayed, I did everything. Nothing. I was getting burnt out, and I felt like my messages weren't really going the right direction for this ministry. Even though I got my messages in prayer, I knew that I had a lot of growing up to do as a minister (probably in the real world) before I could go where I wanted to with PC. And I realized that God wasn't going to allow me to preach fire and the Holy Ghost and Acts 2:38 Salvation (insert passionate "HALLELUJAH") and save thousands with the anointing of John Wesley or Simon Peter, over a website that can't even fix their own bugs. Darn.

And so I kept on praying, asking if PC had to keep running, had to take a break, had to die completely, had to whatever...

And here we are now.

So I hope you guys now know I didn't just abandon this or get discouraged (trust me, I wanted to quit more than once but didn't until I felt the calling for PC leave). I feel that while God was with me in this, this was more than a 抖阴社区 account. At least for me; writing lessons and sermons every week for an entire year will make you have to Go Deeper! And now, I feel like I'm being led to different places. Our Outreach minister has a crazy idea to reach every street in our town with community service and Bible studies, and I'm the official "Vice President" (really the Nerd-Behind-The-Scenes) for a College Campus Ministry. I feel like I might preach... like actually preach.. my first message sometime this year for a Youth-led Service.

I thought that I wouldn't get emotional about this, but it isn't working out. I won't necessarily miss more than a few things about 抖阴社区, but I will miss you guys, and I want to see all of the people who've become part of our little dorky WorldChanger culture to know Jesus Christ as He wants you to know Him. Not as some nasty long-haired white hippy on stained glass (Let's not get into that). Not as a rulebook or a religious ideal or a ticket to heaven or a history event or a name you throw up in prayer at dinner. But know Jesus Christ personally, like you know your own family members. Isaiah 9:6 tells us He wants us to know Him as our Heavenly Father. Know Him front to back, know Him enough to trust Him with both your heartaches and heart attacks, all your little problems and all the giant monsters standing in your way. Know Him enough to be hungry, no, starving to genuinely, fervently pray to Him, know Him, and give more of your heart for Him to wash every single day.

I hope that something I wrote in this year-long journey will help you with that. And I will keep praying as to what the future is for PC. Maybe I'll get to come back sooner than I expect, and have better lessons than ever before. Depending on how my prayers continue to go, I might get back on next week, and I might get back on every few months just to make sure nobody needs anything. Don't know just yet.

Now, enough sappy crap.

Let's go out and Change The World.
