My day off today, yippee! I pottered about and got all sorts of things done, including a long time practicing violin. Fetched the boys from school, and we spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out in the diningroom together where I'd had the potbelly going all day. I started a sewing project but didn't get finished by the time we went out to collect our pizza (oh the things we get up to when Nick is away), and then we had youth group. I was nervous about doing youth on my own but it all turned out fine - Mark Driscoll (Vintage Jesus DVD series) taught us an excellent lesson on Jesus as Prophet, Priest and King, showing what happens if one fails to acknowledge Him in any of these areas like such:
Prophet + King - Priest = Fundamentalism
Prophet + Priest - King = Evangelicalism
Priest + King - Prophet = Liberalism
The last category is where 'emergent' or postmodern churches find themselves, where Jesus is perceived and preached as a big sweetheart who winks at sin and is never unpopular. Nice, but wholly incorrect. After the teaching we had popcorn and juice and several rounds of Taboo - these kids are fiercely competitive!
