He gave us examples for where our relationship with Jesus stands.
He had a big Chrysler car that was the Christ car on the track; he then gave the possible situations that our relationship with Jesus could be in.
A. You are not even in the stadium (You have no idea who Jesus is and that he died for you)
B. You are in the grandstands as an observer (You know who Jesus is but you don't have a relationship with him)
C. You work in the pit crew (You work with Christians but you still don't have a very good relationship with Christ)
D. You could be ON the race track, but going the wrong way (You know who God is but you are running from Him)
E. You could be on the racetrack, but you are stuck in a tailspin (You were following Jesus and everything was going fine when, BAM! you run into the wall and you are spinning like crazy)
F. You could be drifting behind the Chrysler car (You are following Christ but from a safe distance)
G. You could be trying to PASS the Chrysler car (You are trying to pass God and tell him what YOU want to do with your life)
H. You are drafting behind the Chrysler car (Coach Crayton said this is the point where God wants us to be. Having this status for your relationship with Jesus should be our goal in life. Letting Jesus take on all the air and following him bumper to bumper the whole way wherever He takes us)

2nd semester of FCA!!!
Tonight we all worshiped the Lord together and then we went and played a competitive, fun game of capture the flag in the arena at Vermeer Pavilion.
We split up into four different teams; then, we split up onto separate courts. (two teams to one court( Then began our first round, after the first games were done, Mr. Reasland asked us if we fell into one of the four categories listed below.
1. The Fence sitters (these team members were the players who frolicked around the boundary line and acted like they were going to sprint to get the flag, but they never do)
2. The Care-Free Players (these teammates would run across to get the flag, but when they realized they were going to get tagged, they just gave up and didn't care)
3. The Fakers (The "Faker" players were the players who stood right by the boundary line and pretended like at any moment, they sprint and retrieve the flag. Really though,they never even cross the line; they only pretend like they are a threat)
4. The Flag Guards (these teammates were the kind of player that stood way back, away from the border line, and guarded the flag)
After this challenge, Mr. Reasland asked to play the last round as a different type of team member that what we played as in the first game.
The idea was to get us all out of "comfort zones" and act. Mr. Reasland talked about how we can have these types of Christians as well and that we should get out of our comfort zones and live up to the standards that God has set for us.
Mr. Reasland and the entire FCA leadership are really excited about the new semester and all the new and exciting things that we are going to do.
(We will hopefully have a poll going soon for which songs we would like the worship team to play which will be really neat. Drew Nelson has also asked everyone to pray about high school students leading worship for FCA)
