Cool. With it. The bomb. Or is that bummer...?

Meet Ignatius. The new age guru of gab, stagecraft, image, and slick sales...but what is he selling—and to kids? Com‘on!

The videographer comments:

• This is a video we produced for a free event for youth ministers. It was conceived as a satire for what I consider to be an unhealthy "rock star" culture that has been growing inside Christendom, as well as an encouragement for the unheralded heroes on the front lines of ministry. Shot by Taylor Robinson and George Wiley, with video post by Jason Poole and audio by Eric Chapman and Nate Dregger. The role of Ignatius is played by our friend Josh Keefer.

So what do you think?

So, do we ever leave God behind?

I think not!

He must go camping, too, then!

Great times with great fun belong in the Christian list of things to do! Such times go right along with prayer, praise, worship and God's word as a vital part of Christian fellowship. May all kids, young and old, learn this now and take it with them through life.

Who is it that said, "We bring the party with us?" In fact, I think it is the Newsboys who sing it!

So can we put this practice? Even if life is not one "great big party," it is not for good reason: because then we woudn't know what a party really is. Like a lot of things, the party would get so boring really soon that we wouldn't ever want another one! The fact that the parties are spread out a little, separated by time and space is what makes them so enjoyable....so party on! But with good sense and spiritual purpose. Then you can be sure that God will be right there with you!
