I'll never forget the day when one of the senior high leaders on my Youth Team told me about the 3 Ps of Youth Ministry: Popular People and Pizza. That's how the Young Life group in our area attracted a following. Our youth group was always smaller, but much more deep.
"If my goal was popularity, I wouldn't bother being Christ's slave." Ouch! But it's true. We can either live with purpose or for pleasure.
Ultimately, I think we're going for what Paul sums up in the last line of today's reading, "Their response was to recognize and worship God because of me!"
Oh to live that kind of life. I'm being very reflective this week before Father's Day, since I buried one grandpa yesterday and I'll be burying another one tomorrow. These men made a lasting impact on their families and all those their lives touched.
