Mission Impossible Becomes Mission Possible!
Americans across the land are realizing that there is something terribly wrong with our country. The truth is, the current generation has lost the core principles which made our nation great. Teaching Christian character and principles of liberty is a task that is imperative in each successive generation to sustain American liberty for its Gospel purpose. First and foremost, the Gospel message must reach the hearts of today's youth. Second, we must open their eyes to the core principles that make a Christian Nation. Many people think that an "awakening" in our day is almost impossible. We forget that with God, all things are possible to them that believe. Instead of focusing on mission impossible, we are focusing on "Mission Possible," believing God to stir up a group of young people for His purpose.
Over Church History, numbers of young people have obeyed the Gospel, learned to pray, preach, and know what real Christian relationship is through the work of Summer Camp. Many teens even found a lifetime companion among the fellow campers. Through these types of events, young people are encouraged in their faith as Christians. A much deeper realization of what it means to really worship God has been the result of the nightly devotional, standing in the presence of Jesus and allowing Him to touch each heart.
The "Mission Possible" day campwill take place at the Real Church campus. It is a environment perfectly set for an event with God, friends, and the parents that want to be involved . We ask that the parents and church assemblies of the youth that God sends to attend would join in prayer, asking God to pour His Holy Spirit out over each and every camper. God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, will inspire, fire up, and raise up young people ready to fulfill His will. We are sure that the teen in your home is destined to be more than what the world has taught them to be.
The modern definition of respect is to either admire someone or have regard for their feelings, wishes, and rights as they deserve as humans. Another definition says that it’s “to place a high price or great value on someone or something.” In other words, we respect people because they have either done something extraordinary or have lived in such a way that we think they are worthy of our attention or special honor. However, the Bible admonishes us to maintain an attitude of respect toward everyone, as this anchor text states.
People often say things like, “He hasn’t earned my respect” or “respect is reciprocal.” Although it’s normal to feel this way, this isn’t the attitude God wants us to have. For clarity, the Bible points out the categories of people we ought to respect. These include God Himself, members of the body of Christ, government authorities, spouses, elders, parents (who should, in turn, respect their kids), and lastly, all people. In a nutshell, we are to respect everyone we come in contact with, whether they are deserving of our respect or not. God calls us as believers to demonstrate His character through our faith in Him by being respectful toward others, even in ways that are beyond the norm.
Reverence for God and respect toward people are not only the marks of a Christian but also set us apart from others. We demonstrate who Jesus is to them, which contributes powerfully to our testimony. If you are parent that is not able to attend join in prayer with us each day as God seeks to establish this powerful characteristic in your young person. As we launch our faith with yours, take the time ti prepare your self and your home to continue to reenforce the principles we have instilled. You dont have to be a perfect parent to make the change, simply have sincere talk with your child and be an example of repentance and faith and watch God work every area of your family life.
