GREAT News

Rules are funny. There are rules of science – gravity. Rules to surfing – wax goes on the top. Spiritual rules –The Bible in Hebrews 9:22 says, “…without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

Purpose of Life

When God created the Redwoods, molded Waimea and placed rainbows in the sky He had something in mind - HIS Glory.  Throughout the Bible we are repeatedly told that God is "God centered" and that He desires His glory.  In Colossians 1:16 it tells us that God created us for a relationship with Him and that this relationship was to bring Him Glory.  At first this seems odd - for God to be so consumed with Himself.  When we try and make everything revolve around us it's disasterous, so, why is it a good thing for God to seek to be the center of everything?  First, we may think that we are really great but in all honesty we aren't.  We don't deserve to have everything revolve around us but GOD really is that great.  Without even touching on all that God has done, He is worthy of  being the center of everything simply for "WHO" He is.  The second important thing to remember is that God created everything to function this way.  For example, when the planets revolve around the sun things are good - it's the way things were made to function.  But, what if the earth said, "I no longer want to revovle around the sun - I'm going to spin off over here and created my own solar system and have everything revolve around me."  What would happen?  It would be horrible.  Life would end.  Earth would be ruined because it wasn't designed to revolve around itself but to revolve around the sun.  Well, God create everything to bring Him glory and like our universe, things are good when they function as they should.

Ownership

Have you ever met or are you one of those surfers that when the waves are good you forget that you have a job, a wife, kids or even that you have to eat? I don’t mean that you just get focused. But the kind of friend that you want to say, “Bro, don’t you know that you have kids at home that need you?” I mean, that kind of situation that’s over the line.

Get Some Rest

It's 10:38 PM and I just arrived home from a trade show.  Every major surf brand was there.  Christian Surfers always has a booth at these type of events.  We seek to encourage believers and share Christ's love with everyone.
