Slaves No More

Next Meeting

2006-03-26T21:42:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, I need to know who all would be interested in meeting April 7th for 'slaves no more'. The guys who are on the leadership team for Chi Alpha will be gone on a retreat for that day. I thought we might play football or ultimate frisbee on the mall and then go get something to eat. Let me know if you are going and what we should do by leaving a comment! (Just click on the link at the bottom...it's really not that hard and doesn't take long at all.)

Posting again!

Alright guys, I have finally attained some rest and so I am going to start posting on the blog again. However, if you do not start putting up some comments I will not continue posting. I need to know that you guys want the blog. So, comment!

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! I miss all of you guys and can't wait until our next meeting. Chi Alpha small group is tonight at the XA house, 611 Oak Street, for those of you who want to come. We would enjoy your presence and input.

I want to encourage all of you to keep striving for purity. I know it's tough but don't let that discourage you. Here are some of the verses that we discussed at the last meeting:

1 Corinthians 6.18-20 -We are not our own but God's.
2 Corinthians 10.5 -Take captive every thought.
Job 31.1 -A covenant with our eyes.

Write these (and more) on your hearts and stay focused. Keep in contact with your accountability partners! That is very important. Make time each week to meet with each other, and call them at least two to three times a week.

Friday, March 3rd, is here!

Hey Guys! Well, our next meeting is finally here! It's hard to believe that a month has gone bye since our last meeting but this one is going to be awesome. This Friday, March 3rd, Slaves No More will be meeting at Chris Lineberger's house @ 2pm. From there we will be driving to Raleigh and eating at O'Charlie's, then we will be going to a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game! The actual meeting will take place at Brad's parents' house. I hope you guys are as excited about this as I am. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys and hearing about the progress you've made. For those of you who are not able to come please be in prayer for the group, and we will miss you. Stay Strong!

Love you guys,

cameron

Encouragement From the Outside

2006-02-07T20:18:00.000-05:00

Hey guys!! I hope everyone's week is going great! Check out the comment someone left on the first post! I'm going to email it to you guys. It is very encouraging to me and I thought it would be for you too. God is already using this ministry to reach people outside of Chi Alpha which is very exciting. Also, I keep hearing a lot of positive feedback from everyone who attended Friday night's meeting. Keep on fighting the battle, don't give up!

Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul. Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they'll be won over to God's side and be there to join in the celebration when he arrives.

- 1 Peter 2.11-12 (Msg:Remix)

Warriors

2006-02-05T17:01:00.000-05:00

Well, I feel that Friday night was a huge success. After the meeting it was encouraging to find out that everyone's accountability groups were great. Chris and I would love to get some feedback from anyone who was there, so feel free to click on the 'comment' link at the bottom or email one of us. The date of our next meeting will always be displayed at the bottom of the page.

I want to encourage you guys as you contact your accountability partner and meet with them this week. Don't be afraid to correct each other in a loving way, we are doing this to fight beside our brothers in the battle for sexual purity. So, don't be too soft with each other, be warriors.

The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.
-Exodus 15:3 (NIV)

Please, keep the group in your prayers.

It's Finally Here!

Hey guys, I hope all of you are having an awesome week! Well, I have finally sat down and created a blog for our new group. The group is called "Slaves No More." It is a group where men come together to wage war for sexual purity. As men we are called to be spiritual leaders and followers of Christ in our daily lives. This requires a personal relationship with the Saviour, Jesus Christ, and a pure life style. In order to grow and mature as Christians we have to target things in our lives that we struggle with, and something that will always be a battle for every man is sexual purity. Jesus set a standard for us in Matthew 5:28, "Your heart can be corrupted by lust even quicker than your body. Those leering looks you think nobody notices--they also corrupt." That is a tough standard to meet, especially in our society today. But there is strength in numbers and this is a battle not to be fought alone. That is why we have created this group, so no one has to be alone in the fight.
