Truly bearing one another's burdens - difficult lovingkindness

Boundaries Books Tip of the Day: We all have a duty to warn others and show them their sins, not to judge them but to help save them from themselves. God uses us to help others when they are off the path of righteousness and growth. If we neglect to bring problems to each other’s attention, we bear some responsibility for the outcome. When we confront others in the right way, they have a choice and may ignore our warning. But we will not have participated in their destructiveness. Even more, they may remember our words at a later time and act accordingly, and our words will have borne fruit. Be a part of the solution and, in love, warn those who are veering too close to the edge. It could save a life.

Bridges wraps up term with donations

Bridges wrapped up the fall 2013 term with donations to Air Mobile Ministries (to aid those in the Philippines hit by the typhoon), to Hope For North Brevard's Project E.A.T.  and dozens of shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child to be delivered to needy children around the world through Samaritan's Purse. Thanks to the members who gave.  May your Christmas be filled with Jesus, His love and His care for others. Merry Christmas! See you on campus in the new year.

Bridges 200th

Today a group of about 20 folks celebrated Bridges 200th meeting on the Titusville campus (since our inception in January 2008). No fanfare; just fellowship, food, sharing praise reports, and collecting T.O.L.L.S. (tokens of living love shared) for Air Mobile Ministries (to help those in the Philippines affected by the typhoon).  Thank you Father God for giving us a place to gather on our campus for the last six years. We are grateful. We have been blessed. May we bless You by laying down our lives for others; to love, to give, to serve ~ always trusting You ~ our only source, our Rock and Redeemer. May we always be a soft place to land for students and staff on our campus.

Nov. 2013 - Operation Christmas Child

Thank you to everyone who donated a filled shoe box to the Operation Christmas Child drive this fall. Together with Ms. Patria's Success Strategies class, we had 31 boxes to give to children around the world in need. Our Bridges Secretary, Matt Lipphardt, delivered the boxes to his church, Arantia Baptist, who will in turn deliver the boxes to the north Brevard drop-off site for shipment with many more filled boxes from other churches and organizations in this area. Pray for the children and families who will receive these boxes - that they will know joy, know love and know that Jesus truly does love them. 

...now this is worship...beautiful hymns...♪♪♪

The cost of discipleship - Marc Driscoll

This link is one of the best audio/video messages on the cost of discipleship. It's good. Take a listen. 

Do I give God any room in my day; is He a priority?

Where does God fit in my life? Do I make room for Him at all?

Good post by author Ian. Worth a read.

Bridges officers embrace technology!

Bridges officers at online meeting - you can see each other AND the agenda.
We even previewed a video together. Pretty cool.
We're getting better at this technology stuff!  

Bridges officers are embracing technology using  Google Hangout to facilitate some of our officer meetings. It's fun and easy to do.  Yeah, we roll that way!
