Don't Hate; Participate!

I know that the summer is breezing away very quickly. Wow what a wonderful time we had at Youth Camps 08’. Starting the week off not knowing who I was till on Friday being able to Identify God in my life. I may not know everything God is doing in my life, but He sure is working. I hope that you can say the same thing.

There is an old story about a college student who was desperately in need of a summer job. He searched the want ads and discovered the local zoo was looking for help. He couldn’t think of a more creative way to spend the summer, but he wasn’t prepared for the job description. When he went to apply, the zookeeper explained that they had recently lost their gorilla. “You can’t have a zoo without a gorilla,” the zookeeper rationalized. “We are expecting a new gorilla by the end of the summer, nut, in the meantime, we need someone to dress the part. We’ll pay you well.”

The young student was hesitant, but he needed the money, so he agreed. After a couple of hours in the gorilla suit, he found himself almost enjoying the job. But in the awkward costume he could not always see where he was going, and he accidentally stumbled into the lion’s cage. The lion roared violently, throwing the college student into a panic. “Help!” he screamed. “Help! I’m a man in here! I’m a man in this gorilla suit!”

Then he heard a voice from in the lion whisper, “Shut up, kid! You’ll get us both fired!”
In reality, it would be impossible for a human to imitate the roar of the king of the jungle. The moral to this story is you can only be a fake for so long and you will be found out. God started some things in your lives that you must grab a hold of and never let go. No matter what your past holds. God has more in store for your life.

A Man's After God's Own Heart

King David, he was a poet, shepherd, a giant killer, and ancestor of Jesus – in short, one of the greatest men in the Bible, often described as a man after Gods own heart. Along with the list of good things is another list; things like betrayer, liar, adulterer, and murderer.

Although David is described as a man after God’s own heart, he had serious lapses of character and it cost him dearly – murder was a constant threat to his family, his household rebelled against him, his first child by Bathsheba died.

The story of David shows us that even a person of strong faith can struggle with character problems and can suffer painful consequences when those problems are left unchecked.
George Munzing, in this book “living a Life of Integrity,” said:
If you cheat in practice, you’ll cheat in the game.
If you cheat in your head, you’ll cheat on the test.
You’ll cheat on the girl. You’ll cheat in business. You’ll cheat on your mate. Sow a though, reap an act. Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny.

David was a man “after” God’s own heart, but this is where most of us mess up. You see the chase shouldn’t end once we ‘get’ God, but instead it should just begin.

Dog Days Of Summer

Its HOT! Not just a little hot, but extremely, sweltering, smoldering, yucky hot! It’s the kind of heat that only takes a few moments before it really starts to effect you. Sounds a lot like what we should be as Christians. It shouldn't take but a moment before our friends can tell that there is something different about us. Keep the camp spirit alive. Plug in!
