Sanctification

Last week it was Bullen's turn to write the blog...

As many have seen on Facebook, Andrew was our great cook this week and he cooked very well. If we were to vote who would be our cook next week or always, we will all vote for Andrew to become the ThreeSixty chef. This would help us all to not have to cook anymore because we would have a chef.

This was been a great week and all of us are doing well at the ThreeSixty house as we are studying the word of of God together. We have been studying about sanctification with Deric Thomas, which is the process as we grow and walk with the Lord till our bodies will be glorified and that will be the end of sanctification. The Lord has started his work in us by regeneration and he will finish his work when our bodies are glorified. This is a great hope for us as believers.

Also we are thanking those who have given their time to come and help us in tutoring us in this week they have done a great job by being a great example of Christ to us and we are so grateful

The Tower of Selfishness

This blog post is one that Andrew wrote about a week ago.

The tower of selfishness. What am I talking about? I am talking about how people do things for praising themselves. In the Old testament people rebelled against God and they started building a tower for themselves. God hates a selfish people. For example in Geneses 11:1 God confused the language of selfish people and scattered them. Today many people go to school in order to have better life in this world, earn more money for themselves and turn their back on God. What are we going to gain out of this world? Nothing, as for me , I go to school to for my people and God's glory.

We have had a blessed week, Jerime cooked nice food for us this week. I thank God so much for taking care of us. May the glory, power, and majesty be to our God forever and ever .

Week # 6 According to Jerime

(This weeks blog was written by Jerime)


The beginning of the week was kind of different, because we were all returning home from visiting family and friends for Labor Day weekend. I enjoyed my weekend because Alabama beat VT 34-24. ROLL TIDE.

School went back to regular schedule. I had a math test this week which I think I did well on. This week has also been busy with all the bible studies we had to go to. We went to a Barons game with the Nelson’s small group. We had good seats because we were in the Coca-Cola sky box. Steve was gone all day Friday with his mentor, so he got to skip out on the cleaning we had to do. In fact Steve was let off the hook this week because he didn’t have to cook at all this week. I think I should give him my week to cook or maybe he should do everybody’s chores this week. (Good try Jerime – have fun cooking)

We ended the week with a guy’s night out at the Samford football game. Mr. Clark gave us all access passes to go on the field. The game was fun, Samford ended up beating Jacksonville 27-0. I believe this next week will be an even better week, because the guys know I’m cooking so that means no leftovers.

Life at the ThreeSixty House...

Stephen shares a little bit of what it is like to live in the ThreeSixty House....


It has been one month since four guys moved into the ThreeSixty house and it has been two weeks since we all started at Jeff State. I can truly tell you college is much different than high school. College is a faster pace and lots of responsibility. Now that I am away at college and my mom does not know my every move, it makes her worry. I pray that God will give her peace that passes all understanding and let her know that she has raised me well. Now back to the ThreeSixty house, it is like the survival of the fittest. We have to clean, cook, blog, wash clothes, study, walk back and forth to school, attend public speaking meetings, yard work, do odd jobs for extra money, grocery shopping, understand Moru (the language spoken by Andrew and Bullen in southern Sudan) and do it all with a SMILE. Whew!!! Let me catch my breath for a minute.

God has taught me this week that in order to be a leader, I have to choose to sacrifice for others. You have to be humble and whatever you do you must shine a light for Christ and give Him the glory. He also talked through me at the Kings Ranch to share my testimony and let the teenagers know that even though life is hard, Jesus will always love and protect you.

God Bless,
Stephen
