It’s been great getting to know their team and also hearing their ideas about reaching teenage girls, like you! You can read the post here and don’t forget to spread the word! Thanks again Catalyst! You rock.
It hurts to be an outcast. What if someone who was supposed to be in your corner suddenly turns on you? Ouch!
As Jesus traveled around teaching people, the religious experts followed and tried to mess him up. They were supposedly waiting for a Savior, but they hoped for a rich king who would free Israel from the Romans, not a poor man who hung around fishermen and had no military experience. Jesus wasn’t what they expected, and they were ready to spread the disappointment.
In Matthew 12:22, Jesus cast a demon out of a blind, mute man. The Pharisees hated that. They told the crowd that Jesus cast out the demon by Satan’s power, not God’s. Jesus answered that no smart battle strategy includes working against yourself and taking out your own army! He said “any city or family that is divided against itself will not continue” (v. 25).
Sound familiar? Half of all U.S. marriages end in divorce. That’s a lot of divided families! If your parents are divorced, you may not have the power to fix their relationship with each other, but you have power over your own behavior. Use that to keep the peace (Matthew 5:9). Don’t play them against each other, and pray for your mom, dad, siblings, and stepparents. Don’t take responsibility for their actions, but try not to deliberately aggravate the situations (Romans 12:18). If your family is intact, thank God for your parents’ marriage and ask him to protect and strengthen it.

Have you ever heard of a flash mob? Nope, it has nothing to do with paparazzi. Basically, a flash mob is when a group of people (like yourselves) get together and act out a routine/dance that has been learned before the actual event. Guess what’s happening on Friday night at Revolve? A REVOLVE TOUR FLASH MOB!! And we couldn’t think of anyone better to teach us the moves than Kathryn McCormick.
What happens now? Watch the step-by-step instructions given by Kathryn in the video and learn the part!! On Friday night, Group 1 Crew will perform “Breakdown” off their latest CD, Outta Space Love, and that’s your chance to join in with thousands of other girls doing the same dance steps. This is going to be SO FUN! Bring your dancing shoes and join us at 7 pm sharp. Don’t be tardy!! You may miss out on the biggest dance party of the year.
For a little more help, check out this video of Kathryn dancing from a different angle:
Wear your dancing shoes! We can’t wait to see you at The Revolve Tour.
What controls you?
When you want to go out with a guy who you know is bad news, do you follow your heart or do you follow Christ? When you are tempted to cheat on a test so your parents don’t freak out at another bad grade, do you sin or surrender to God’s will?
Paul said that the love of Christ is what controls Christians. His love has taken over our hearts and heads as we go through life making decisions to follow him or follow the world. It’s a constant struggle for us to let go and give God control, but when you do let Him direct your life you’ll be stronger, more secure, and more confident in everything you do. Decide today if you want to be totally devoted to Christ or not.
The love of Christ controls us, because we know that One died for all, so all have died. 2 Corinthians 5:14 NCV
