DO SOMETHING: Skid Row
|
Christian Skaters is again joining Enoch Magazine is attempting to bridge the gap between the homeless on
Skid Row and those living in homes and suburbs around the world. Not
only are they creating awareness, but we are also offering a real
opportunity to help the people in our films.
Skid Row is the word used to describe the downtown homeless district in
Los Angeles. Most of its residents are there due to drug addiction,
mental illness and/or financial distress. This community is made up of
thousands of homeless people and encompasses a 4-5 block radius.
Last April, a team of 8 individuals from different cities and states
joined together for an Enoch Documentary in Skid Row Los Angeles. In January, they will go back to serve again. Read more here.

| THINK: Resolutions
|
 "Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Grab life by the mane. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained
passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine
intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking
God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop
repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe
and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences.
Consider the lilies. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to
celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last
day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from
worshipping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze a new
trail. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and
more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be
yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit
running away" -unknown
The practice of making New Year's resolutions goes back over 3000 years
to the ancient Babylonians. There is just something about the start of
a New Year that gives us the feeling of a fresh start and a new
beginning. In reality, there is no difference between December 31st and
January 1st. Nothing mystical occurs at midnight on December 31st. The
Bible does not speak for or against the concept of New Year's
resolutions. However, if a Christian determines to make a New Year's
resolution, what kind of resolution should he or she make? Read these verses
Here are some suggestions: (1) Pray to the Lord for wisdom (James 1:5)
in regards to what resolutions, if any, He would have you make; (2)
Pray for wisdom as to how to fulfill the goals God gives you; (3) Rely
on God's strength to help you; (4) Find an accountability partner who
will help you and encourage you; (5) Don't become discouraged with
occasional failures; instead allow them to motivate you further; (6)
Don't become proud or vain, but give God the glory. Psalm 37:5-6,
"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will
make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause
like the noonday sun." Read the complete devo here

WHO: Jereme Rogers
|
With a resume even Donald Trump would be jealous of, Jereme Rogers has already earned his right as one of the big bosses of skateboarding. Whether he's wooing the masses with his switch-stance mastery at some of the largest and esteemed contests in the land, or filming and shooting photos alongside legends like Eric Koston and Danny Way who are ten or more years his senior, there's nothing apprentice about Rogers.
 At the age of nineteen, in the midst of living the dream of the competing and traveling professional skateboarder, Jereme had a spiritual awakening. "I'm not perfect by any means, but I have an undeniable belief in God and a really strong faith and whatever's going on in my life it's going through his hands," he says. And Jereme's Christianity and belief in God is no secret. The words "I Fear No Man" are tattooed on one side of his neck. "In God I Trust" is inked on the other side.
