Living Out Love
By CBM National intern, Mark Martens -
Have you ever had a time when you were reading a passage of Scripture and part of a verse just gripped you for some reason? Well, this happened to me not too long ago while I was reading My Utmost for His Highest for my devotions. I came across the verse, 2 Corinthians 5:14, which says, “For the love of Christ controls us…” It was that part of the verse that gripped me. The reason this resounded with me is because more often than not, I like to try and take control of my life. It can be very easy for us to think we can do ...
Christian Internship- The Importance of Fellowship
By CBM National interns, Scott & Jerri Carpenter -
The definition of fellowship is friendly association, especially with people who share one’s interests. Awesome enough for us Christians is that we share the best thing in the world, our love of God! There are two things I like to think about when it comes to fellowship: who can fellowship and what is supposed to be a part of fellowship!

Four Labels You Need to Let Go Of
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly-
I’m at that point in life where it’s time to discover who I am. What do I believe? How do I think? Who should I be? Recently, I’ve become a label collector. Labels are good, if used correctly. Through them, I’ve learned a lot about who God has made me to be. But sometimes, we need to lose those labels because they hold us back. We say things such as, “Well, I can’t do that because I’m this.” Or, “Well I’m this and you’re that, so we can’t be friends.” So often we use the labels as limitations rather than a ...
For the Sake of the Gospel
By CBM National intern, Timmy Martens -
As a CBM National intern, one of my responsibilities during my rotation at Camp Victory is to assist with Released Time (a ministry where we teach the Bible to school children during school hours: https://childrensbibleministries.net/camps/classes), which is something that I haven’t participated in actively since my senior year in high school.
Thankful to have been given the opportunity to serve in Released Time once again, I read over my lesson and gave adequate preparation time in case I was asked to teach. Holding the ...
Just Wait
By CBM National intern, Mark Martens-
The term “wait,” as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “to stay in a place until an expected event happens, until someone arrives, until it is your turn to do something, etc.” I will be honest with you; sometimes I find it hard to wait. In fact, when I think about it, I have a really hard time waiting. From the first time that my alarm goes off, I am already off thinking about what the day has ahead of me. I then proceed to keep myself busy for the majority of the day. However, on days like these, I can find myself exhausted ...
