Apostasy

Hey Quest,

So, the blog is a little slow lately...but we can change that. Right after camp we were all posting like crazy, excited about what God was doing in our lives and excited about the accountability we had with each other, I mean I was and I'm almost posative all of Quest was. Apostasy is "falling away" and the pastor at my parents' church is doing a series on it right now. I don't know about everyone else but when I quit posting I fell away from God. I was still reading my bible, but not consistently. This blog is awesome because it gives us a community of people who are thirsty for what God has for us. Its not that we love God any less or that we dont want to spend time with him, we just get wrapped up in our own lives and loose sight of what is eternal.
God has convicted my heart and I feel strongly about this blog and what it does. We all made a commitment to stick with this blog and we thought we would. This is the very thing I did not want to do, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't quit no matter how busy I became. Somwhere between work, school, church, family, friends and everything else I compromised with myself that I didn't have to post twice a week, then it was twice a month and then I was making up excuses not to post on the blog. Please hold me accountable for posting and most of all following hte bible study and I will hold you accountable too. If we want to start revival in our schools and cities, we need to revive ourselves first.

I hope all of you are doing well!

  1. so true...i totally agree with everything you said. and i think the more we encourage and support one another, the more motivated we will be to keep posting on here. we've got to keep "building" each other up. if we do this, i'm confident that this blog will live. haha (:

    and also, i know a few people who follow the reading plans and read the posts on here, but they don't post themselves. for anyone in quest reading this right now who's the kind of person i'm describing, i encourage you to POST! this blog is so amazing! i mean, you don't have to if you really don't want to, but don't be afraid to put your ideas and thoughts about the readings on here...
