It was certainly a wet day today, but our resilient campers didn't let it drown out their fun! The rain is actually a welcome relief for those campers who think that they can make it the whole week without a shower. We all know that there's at least one in every group.
The men continued in their daily "training sessions" and discussed what it means to have 3D vision. The students (and adults) were challenged to look up and have a proper perspective of God, look in and recognize the sin in your life and you need for Christ, and look out and see the need of the broken people around us. Mr. Green left the men with the a great thought. When you do not spend daily time with the Lord, do you feel guilt or hunger? Guilt is born out of a sense of religion and duty; hunger is the result of a relationship and desire for God. Lord, make me hungry for You!
The ladies discussed how they choose to be a princess of God. We choose what is important in our lives, and whatever it is that we spend most of our time and effort becomes what we worship. Choosing to make these "idols" the main focus in our lives can and will prevent us from being who God called us to be. Each morning, we have the choice to take up the Word of God and spend time in His presence or to toss it aside and turn our attention to other things. The Word is an incredible gift from God in which we find the Truth of our identity. How can we truly know who we are if we neglect it?
As promised, here is a brief clip (roughly 3 minutes) of the wonderful speaker, Scott Pilkinton, that has been sharing with the students for the week.
I have heard great feedback from the students regarding Mr. Pilkinton, and it seems that they have really connected with the messages God has been sharing through him!
Finally, please sit back and enjoy the slideshow from today's activities! God bless!
