We will be ministering to students at NUS (National University of Singapore) starting next week.
I lost my Bible and $500 that was in it. I left it on the plane, and went back soon after, but they couldn’t find it. “The Lord gives […]

In your high school and college days, it’s easy to get lazy in the summer.  Well, easier.  We can all get lazy in the summertime.  But - students have three months off.  It’s sunny out.  There are new blockbusters to see at the movie theater.  The list never ends… summer is a completely unique time […]

Congratulations to our graduating class of 2007! We have quite a list of both staff and (now, former!) High School students.  Good job!

much has changed and more will be changing over the next few days and weeks.  Post your suggestions and comments on the new style here!  Do you want to see something specific?  LET ME KNOW!  Here are some of the new things active now:

Have you ever heard the story of the Prodigal Son?  If not, CLICK HERE.  If you have… here’s a challenge: a lot of us have probably felt like the prodigal son before, being stupid and wasteful and then running back to God’s waiting arms.  BUT, have you ever considered that we have probably acted like […]

 
Poor and underprivelaged people have been around for a long time.  Jesus even says they will always be with us as long as we are in a fallen world.  However, this was not Jesus dismissing the poor and homeless… even though some may say so.  For one, Jesus was homeless.  Even more plain is the amount of […]

Paul Wright is coming to The Action on June 10th to sing some new songs that he recently recorded and share about a new project he is working on.  Booya.

Rudy is starting his new series, Rescued From An Ordinary Life, this next Sunday (the 22nd).  Here are the topics for the next four weeks:

Week 3  - May 6th - Living Today in a whole new way
Week 4  - […]

This is a spot for all of you to post things that challenged you on spring break.  This could be Mexico-related, or a lesson from Harlow, or maybe something from those of us who stayed back home in Eugene.
What challenged you?  What did God teach you?  What were your struggles and/or temptations?  Share with each other the areas […]

…starting April 18th, The Difference on Wednesday nights will be in SPRING ELECTIVES mode for 8 weeks.  Electives are 4 weeks and then will repeat for another 4 weeks, so you get two electives. 

Sol - sharing your faith
Seth & Jana - the power of words, what you say (and what you don’t!)
Cory Driscoll - NOOMA dvd’s 
Mimi - A […]

…but the greatest of these is love.
As the Mexico team heads home, here’s a last thought on 1 Corinthians 13.  Why is love “greater” than faith and hope?  Here are two suggestions:

“faith” and “hope” are future-based.  You hope for something you don’t have yet, and you have faith in a God you can’t see.  But […]

read 1 Corinthians 13 HERE
Love never fails.  for some clarification on this passage in 1 Corinthians, let’s put our Big Greek Thinking Caps on for a few minutes (I promise it will be painless).  In fact, to prove that anyone can do the same thing I am doing below because it’s nothing fancy, I put […]

The Mexico Team is on their way as of Saturday morning… so show some love to our friends and families as they show love to our brothers and sisters in Mexico!

I heard a very smart person talk about this verse.  he said that the words meant more than I might realize.  the original words were interesting because when it says “love does not delight IN evil…” the “in” refered to something it had no part of.  the evil and the love were like oil and […]
