I attend an incredible church. I love it...btw that was not meant in a boastful way. However, our church is in Dothan, Al (about 20 minutes from my school) and it is one of a kind in the city. Wiregrass Church is a Partnership Church of NorthPoint Community Church in Alpheretta, Ga. (NorthPoint is the church affiliated with such things as 722, KidStuf, Big Stuf Camps, Passion, etc.) So at Wiregrass we do things alot like NPCC...(not everthing though cause it is a different culture than North Atlanta). We have a full band on Sunday mornings in the auditorium and for our student ministry (NEXUS) which I have the privilage of leading in worship. It's a blast to serve my creator in a church that is trying to reach people I have a passion for.

  Anyway, the toughest part of going to Wiregrass is the teaching. We do everthing live except the teaching, and it is done through 2 huge screens and a DVD. Wierd huh? Well that's not the tough part (I would venture to say that everyone who has come to our church as a skeptic that is in our target people range have no problem with the lack of live preaching...we're just so media driven). The tough part of being an attender of Wiregrass Church is the messages. Andy Stanley may very well be the clearest communicator of God's word that I've ever heard. And if you have a clear communicator you have no problem at all knowing what God says from the scripture. So....what's the tough part? Conviction. Crazy Conviction.

I say all of that to give background of my church life. Today was an experiance. We are going through a series called "Take it to the LIMIT". We are learning to live with Margin in our lives rather than exhausting our abilities which in turn leads to regret and sin. (The later being what culture drives us too). Today was about Moral Margin. And the bottom line is this If we intend to abstain from sex the we need to listen to God and set our limits so far away from sex that if we do ever cross our limit line then there is no big consequence. I say all of this to say: We need to allow God to invade us and to tell us where His limits are for our lives in every area expecially Sexuality. I have made my own mistakes and I know if I would have taken Margin seriously I would not have the regret that I have. God is teaching me moment by moment to live at the limits he gives rather than the limits Culture brings us to.
