I just got home from a Easter Camp today.
The camp was really good.
Youth repented of stuff the first night, then the following sessions were teaching on Holiness, and giving a challenge to be holy. To live in the World but not a part of it.
The camp was not about hype, it was straight to the point. We need to be holy, not just have said the "sinners prayer", we need full salvation. the work that Christ doesn't finish when we repent, when we have tears of repentance, that is only the beginning. God was to fill us with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and selfcontrol. Also we need to be accountable to each other, and when we are asked to keep someone accountable, that we are not to be "gentleman" about it, we are not to worry whether they are not going to like us any more. We should be encouraging each other to be holy. We were given permission to be nagging about it.
The whole camp was focused not having "elevator love" (or roller coaster) relationship with God any more, instead have a relationship with Christ that is continually going up/growing, and with out sin. This sort of relationship with Christ is only possible through His power.
There are youth that have left camp, changed, not wanting to have "elevator love" relationship with God, and these youth have called on their friends to keep them accountable.
Praise God, cause this was His Camp and His work.
One more thing to praise the Lord about camp. We had sumo wrestling, a bungi run, and laser skirmish, which are all activites where it is possible for injures. I was the first aid person, and i only had to give out 4 pain killers, and 2 bandaids. Praise the Lord.
