CHOOSE LIFE YOUTH MINISTRY

CHOOSE LIFE YOUTH MINISTRY
Sta Monica Christian Fellowship


2009 will be a new year of learning, transformation, multiplication, and healing.

Choose Life Youth Ministry (CLYM) exists to be the SALT and LIGHT of this generation. It aims to fulfill and live out the will of God for it is not founded by the ways of this world but by God who is the source and creator of all.

A new year of learning. It is CLYM's desire to know God and His Word. For it is only by knowing your master that one fulfills his works and role as a servant. A heart that is not right before God is an empty heart. It may be serving millions of people but the Lord desires a heart that is sincere, a heart that follows genuinely. God does not desire sacrifice but obedience. There is nothing in this world that could add up to His glory, riches, honor, pleasure for every thing that has been made was through Him and by Him. The reason for learning is not to just to make oneself good for sacrifice but to become a vessel of God in making Him known to the world, to the lost.

A time of transformation. A faith grounded to the Word does not stop. It does not cease to grow and expand. It does not remain a seed but it is desired to grow in maturity and bear fruit. What is learning without transformation? It is like a man who reads and understands a paragraph the way he read it 20 years ago. The Word of God transforms lives. It does not seek a certain group of people but it works its way through every hearts from a child heart to mature heart. Knowing God does not stop in knowing His Word but it continues to be manifested in the life of the one who found it. A child does not remain a child for 20 years. He has to be a man-- a man not just physically but a man transformed and moulded in God's hand, reaching out and being the best of what he could be before the Maker.

A life multiplied. Transformation follows multiplication. A life transformed is not buried but alive and overpouring. It cannot be hidden but rather defined and brought to life. CLYM aims to reach out to its spheres of influence, enlarge its territory. It's a spiritual battle for everyone but it is God's desire that the lost be found, the blind may see, and that each soul experiences God. A life transformed should choose no other way but to multiply because salvation is for everyone. There are only two factors to multiply, God and Satan. Which factor are you multiplying right now?

Healing. So many wounds and pains of the past. So many mistakes and deception of the former times. Without healing the wounds persist and may infect a life-transformed. There is no other way start anew but to start without luggage.

Lives are taken and lost each day. According to the World Health Organization's data (1993) 4.2% of 100,000 Filipinos died by suicide. These people thought they had no choice but to end life. Because life to them is such a hopeless case--maybe they suffer hunger, financial crisis, love crisis, emotional depression, or any sort of ugliness and negativities and they could not take it any longer so as they looked past a wall they started to realize that there is no other way to end it all but to take their own lives. Jesus is speaking, "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.." Perhaps they thought that they were bound to one choice but in reality there a million choices surrounding us and can only be categorized to two-- DEATH and LIFE. CLYM seeks and strives to represent a life that is changed and has chosen JESUS. In every circumstances the youth is faced with different choices in life and most of the time they are confused but it is good to know that there is GOOD NEWS; that even in the darkest areas and situations, light exists, God exists. One always has a choice and we in CLYM, we CHOOSE LIFE, we choose JESUS. After all, it was God who first chose us, He first loved us.

CLYM's Life Verse
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.[Galatians 2:20]
