What a Summer

Well, I have been at SWO for 3 weeks now and it has been very busy. If I'm very honest it has been hard but good. Lately I've been studing and really enjoying Romans 5 & 6. It has been substaining me when camp becomes really hard. These passages point to Christ and all He has done for us despite our many sins.

Romans 5:1-9 "Therefore, since we have been made right with God by faith we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved previlege where we now stand and confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope does not lead to dissappointment. For we know how deeply God loves us because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. When we were utterly helpless Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person but someone might perhaps die for a person who is espeically good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certianly save us from God's condemnation."

AMEN!

I hope this encourages you.
I've been slackling with friends....

And it's been a lot of fun
