Remembering His Works

By CBM National intern, Mark Martens - Throughout the Psalms, the writers are constantly remembering and praising God for the things  He has done. Psalms 105:1-2 is one great example of this.  “Give thanks to Yahweh, call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell about all His wonderful works.”(HCSB) When I read over these verses while doing my devotions, I started looking back over the past couple of years. It was really awesome to remember how God worked in and blessed me. In fact, it was so encouraging ...

Where Two or More are Gathered

By CBM National intern, Stephanie Schwan - Hello friends, family, supporters, and online strangers! It's my first blog post as a CBM intern! Hip, hip, huzzah! I can't believe that as I write this we've been in the internship two and a half months already. The other interns and I have been busy taking Bible classes (we've had Ethics, Apologetics, and Evangelism so far; a survey of the Old Testament is coming up next), cleaning cabins (Groupon season is upon us, which means lots and lots of guests), helping out with a local church's youth ministry, traveling to and ...

Be Strong and Courageous, and Act

By CBM National intern, Paly Daly -  Solomon was born to be the King who built the Lord’s temple.

Probably the greatest story I’ve read featuring Solomon, however, isn’t about something he said or did, but something his father, David said to him. Then David said to his son Solomon, ...

New Adventures and Beautiful Faces

By CBM National interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter - As CBM National interns, we get to travel a lot. I think we all love that we are getting to go to a new place, but not all of us love the driving portion of it. No matter what we are doing, even driving, we do it all for the glory of God! During these long trips (or even sometimes the short ones) conversations are had, thoughts are processed, and/or prayers are belted out. With us (Scott and Jerri), we get to do all of these things together! Why not take advantage of this awesome time God has given us? ...

Stay Present – An Intern’s Reflection

By CBM National intern, Mark Martens - 86,400 seconds. 1,440 minutes. 24 hours. Each of these measurements shows how much time is in a day and we all know that time is very important to each and every one of us. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says, “There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to throw ...
