Last night I go up to the room and usually the room is packed with students. Don't get me wrong I am not saying we have a huge student ministry, but God has blessed us to where we need larger facilities just to be comfortable. Not last night though. Last night we probably had the worst attendance ever. Usually I get upset if our attendance is down, but not last night.
Last night I was able to speak from my heart and I realized I would rather have 10 students who are on FIRE for Jesus then a group of 50 who could care less. I was able to share my heart with these students and encourage them and challenge them to love God more.
The Bible says in 1 Peter 2 that if you live your life depending on the cornerstone which is Jesus that you will never be dissappointed (My translation). When I was reading that it made me realize that no matter how many students come if my foundation is on Jesus, that I will never be dissappointed.
I had a student text me last night at 10:30. He just got saved at an activity this last weekend. His text said this, "Trent when you were talking tonight it made me realize how much I am thankful for my friends who brought me to church and how much more I want to know God. Could you teach me more about God, I WANT TO LEARN." Now that is what it is all about. Here is a student who wants to be on fire for Jesus.
Last Night
