Here are a few things I took away from the week. Spiritual “nuggets” if you will. Sort of like chicken nuggets - not sure where they come from, but they sure taste good!
- Holiness is doing what God says to do the first time He says to do it.
- “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” Sort of a “birds of a feather” philosophy. You’re only as holy as your best friend.
- Some people make things more difficult for you. Some people make things better for you. You need both kinds of people in your life.
- Not every person is called to do the same things for the Kingdom of God, but we all share in the reward.
- Three Life Lessons: 1. Never fight an ugly person, for they have nothing to lose. 2. No matter how many times you press the elevator button, it’s not going to get there any faster. 3. Don’t mess with a cat that’s angry. Although, that’s the type of fight we need to engage in in fighting sin. Be willing to do what no one else will do. Be willing to fight for people that can’t fight for themselves.
- Prayer: “Let the things that break Your heart, Lord, also break mine.”
- Think globally. Act locally.
- After preaching, pray: “Thank you for this privilege to share Your Word, Lord. May it pierce my heart as it does theirs.”
- “What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Although this also began a two week period of separation from my wife and kids, as I’m off to camp and they’re back visiting friends and family in South Dakota (I am so missing them right now!), what an awesome week of camp! Next week: High School Camp! Can’t wait!
