Youth group went really well last night. We started with some hang out time with root beer floats. Then we played ultimate Frisbee for about a half hour. Our lesson started off with discussional questions like:

. What are some things you don't like about church or the Church?
. What are some sins that you feel the church doesn't deal with well?
. Should sinners be allowed to come to church?

These questions were to get them thinking about the passage we were about to read, 1 Corinthians 5. In chapter 5 Paul deals with a certain man in the church who's having sexual relations with his step mom. He judges the man for his sin, but the harsher judgment fell upon the Corinthian church for not doing anything about it, and worse, they were being arrogant about it.

So we talked about church discipline, excommunication, and repentance. Overall it went really well. Alison said that it was the best night that we've had yet that she can remember. (I remember her saying something similar last week. So either it's getting better, or she's just making me feel good. What a good wife!)
