Stonewall Jackson YDC

From Kevin:

Last Thursday I spoke to the guys at Stonewall Jackson about how God likes to choose the weak and foolish things to confound the wise. I shared with them the stories of Moses, Gideon and others who most of us would have never picked to do the things they did. Moses was a murderer and afraid to go alone. Gideon hid at night to thresh wheat when the Midianites were terrorizing the land and need repeated signs to give him courage, yet the angel of the Lord called him a mighty warrior before he ever drew his sword. God doesn't just see us as we are or what we have been. He also sees what we can and will be! All of these young men have done terrible things to be where they are today, but God is focused on what they can be! How do you view those that are locked away? Not only do we need to see them as God sees them, but as God sees us... mighty warriors!
