Changing Lives Through Christian Camping
As I was reading the monthly newsletter from our Camp Victory in Samson, AL, This part stood out to me.
It talks about our words and actions are as seeds that we plant in other lives.
The other day the phone rang and I rushed to answer it. The voice identifies himself. Oh my, the memories that raced back! Approximately 30 years ago he was a camper that I took many times to camp, winter and summer. I had not seen nor heard from him since that time. He is part of a church plant in Georgia. He just wanted to call and say “Thank you” for helping him. I had led ...
God’s Name in Your Heart
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”

An Invisible Work–Wait on the Lord
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Trees have specific seasons for dormancy- a time when the tree appears to be inactive and not growing. This season of rest comes immediately prior to a season of rapid and accelerated growth.

The B-I-B-L-E
Who is God? What does He do? Where did He come from? Why does He love us? Will I ever see Him? Questions like these can be found in book that God wrote, the Bible. If we want to know and understand God we have to read His book and get to know the author of this amazing gift. D.L. Moody observed, “The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.” God’s Holy Word is, indeed, a life-changing, one of a-kind treasure!
