buried & burned

hey there.

i've never been more proud of our undergrounders.  this past wednesday night, we buried and burned the cultural idols that are keeping us from growing deeper in Godly relationships.  strong decisions were made to escape futures of sinful strangleholds.  i would not be surprised if the total worldly value of what we destroyed was in the thousands of dollars.  what a powerful night!

don't ever forget:

we must make the idols in our lives useless to us,

so that our lives can become useful to God...

i've got gas

hello, my name is matthew, and i’ve been thinking...

why is having gas such a bad thing?! if you ask me, it’s kind of a necessity. when we release gas in a constant and steady flow, it keeps us warm on those frigid pennsylvania nights. when we release gas in sudden powerful bursts, it can move people around fairly quickly. the fact that it smells so good is just an added bonus!

speaking of said gas, i want to personally thank all of the undergrounders who took part in the pocono community church gas buy down today! it was a great success. we pumped out nearly 4,000 gallons of gas at 3 different stations, saving everybody in line over 60 cents per gallon. it is the kind of stuff that Jesus is all about. (serioiusly, just read your bible.) let the impact of this day spill over into every other day of your life. always look for real and creative ways to give cups of water to the community that God has planted us in.
