LIVE LOVE

WELCOME TO CAMP! Staff meetings, early mornings, late nights, routines, activities, and mountains of expectations. We have a lot to look forward to as the weeks unfold. May God prepare each one of our minds to take action and to be His humble servants. May our participation at this Camp exemplify such godly character and what it means for brothers and sisters to dwell in unity together; that all who come and go from here will have a growing desire of their own to glorify God. Please Lord, let all we say and do leave a lasting impression of what it means to really love You. Shine through us Your Word and Power! Memories from camp last summer are continual reminders to me of how important it is to communicate with God and with people. What better way to Praise Jesus' name than by making every effort to speak of what He has done? What hope do we have worth sharing? As we make it a priority to spend time with God and keep Him first in our thoughts, and do what is pleasing in His sight....

"Look unto Jesus" and no where else, to no one else. "Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. AND YE HAVE FORGOTTEN THE EXHORTATION WHICH SPEAKETH UNTO YOU AS UNTO CHILDREN, MY SON, DESPISE THOU NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN THOU ART REBUKED OF HIM: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." Hebrews 12:2-6

REPENT REPENT REPENT (Have a change of mind, realize that you have been depending on your own understanding, that you have adopted the ways of this world, you have made decisions based on something other than the truth of God's word.) "Family Planning" religious word for birth control. God has said to be fruitful and multiply. HE is the one who opens and closes the womb. Look at this verse below and please note that arrows are in a quiver for a time...until they are used to route the enemy...to aim at the target. There is that word contend again..."contend with their enemies..." "Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:5 It is hard to tell the difference any more between the church and the world. All the beliefs and lifestyles intertwine. Why are we making decisions based off of what works better for our lifestyles rather than the fear of the Lord? Are w...

"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain (worthless). Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted (uncontaminated) from the world." James 1:26,27 What are you living for? JESUS? or a moment or an experience? Do you really know Him? Or do you attend gatherings where people say they know him? Do you go to Bible studies, church services, mission conferences, but then in your personal life you just do whatever and figure that you do enough stuff having to do with God and He's probably alright with it? If you are married ---- do you think "going through the motions" is sufficient? Or would you prefer true love? Did you make a promise or were you just kidding? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR LIFE IS SAYING TO OTHERS? Are you living for yourself? What actions are you taking to k...

http://www.nglcc.org/ht/d/sp/i/15328/pid/15328 A few of the businesses that sponsor the gay and lesbian agenda. http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/HP-Movie.htm And then for those who wink at evil...and who call evil good. It is not cute, it is an abomination to God. "Open Minded-ness" is another way of befriending satan. If you are loving the world, you are an enemy of God. "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." James 4:4

Could lack of commitment be holding you back? Commitment to who or what you might ask -First and foremost to GOD. If you are not committed to God and to obeying His word, then I will not shy away from asking you... what are you committed to? I have heard a few people say, "Well, I know what I should be doing, but I am just not there yet or I am not ready to go there." Yikes! The choices we make this very moment effect our lives and those around us F O R E V E R. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifested in them; for God hath shown it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:18-20 "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto...

This is not an attack on the ballers, thrill seekers, or sports addicts. I, myself, am an explorer that appreciates high energy activities. I consider it a great priviledge to be outside, to be in the sun, to dive into cold water, to run and run and run. At times I have been convicted in my heart of something that might be trying to exalt itself above God in my life. An immediate response and attention is required to obey the voice of my Father. I have learned that anything can become an idol (false god) in your thoughts and life if you let it. Ignoring that little whisper, the question that causes conviction to arise in your mind; can be very dangerous if one decides to keep on going in his or her own way. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to destruction." Proverbs 14:12 "Dear Children, Keep yourselves from idols." I John 5:21 "...Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks ...
