Synopsis

You have a game face... likely several of them. It’s the part of you that you let others see. It changes some depending on who is around and what the situation is. Everybody plays the game and everybody knows it. So do you have a game face for God? Are there parts of your heart, soul and mind that are “off-limits” for Him? In one sense it’s ridiculous. In another sense, you know that’s how you play the spiritual game to one extent or another. After all, if God had to wade through your junk it might stain His holiness or something. Your rational mind says He takes a long walk when your path gets messy because somehow He is too pure to deal with your muddy boots. Just like if the people around you saw the messy parts inside you they wouldn’t trust you to lead or minister to them. Psalm 139 takes that concept of God and turns it on its head. He is intensely personal. He sees it all. He’s there when it happens. He knows you inside out. And He is still walking the path with you regardless. Maybe the real question is whether you are ready to drop the game face with Him and find freedom in being transparent.

À propos de l?auteur

Since 1985, Dwight Peterson has been an integral part of the mission and ministry of Pilgrimage Educational Resources. After serving for three years as Youth Pastor at Brookdale Baptist Church (Bloomfield, NJ), Dwight accepted the Youth Pastor role at First Baptist Church (Elkhart, IN), where he served for 14 years. His area of responsibility included junior high, senior high and college ministry along with oversight of the Bible curriculum and discipleship functions at the Christian school operated by the church. In Elkhart, Dwight developed training courses for his youth ministry teams while also making them available in workshop and written formats as curriculum to other youth ministries. Out of this, he created and has continuously developed OnTrack Devotions. Currently, Mr. Peterson serves on the faculty of Summit University (Clarks Summit, PA) as well as carrying various responsibilities at PER. Dwight’s goal at BBC, with Pilgrimage, or in everyday life is to disciple students. Whether that be in his Youth Ministry classes, leading a wilderness trip, coaching, or hanging out with the guys in the dorm, where he serves as Resident Director, growth is the end goal. For the past several years, Dwight has also been directing the TLC Youth Workers Conference.
