How to Get Into the Routine of Things by Getting Out of the Routine of Things

By CBM National interns, Jerri and Scott Carpenter - Reading your Bible is wonderful and awesome, but somehow, most of us are still guilty of feeling like we HAVE TO do it instead of really WANTING to do it. The same thing goes for our prayer life too, at times. We pray for our meals, pray for God to use us, and pray for a good day, which are all great things to pray, but we should not be praying just to check something off our to-do list. Prayer is so very important and deepens our relationship with our beautiful God! So how do we get into the routine of things by getting out of the routine of things? That sounds crazy and unreasonable, ...

An Introduction to Your Neighbor

By CBM National intern, Paul Daly - “Who is my neighbor?” the lawyer tested Jesus. In his mind, neighbors were those that were of his nationality and religion. His neighbor was the man that was a Jew, like him. The lawyer’s intention behind the question was flawed. Nevertheless, Jesus’ intention behind His answer was different, and His response teaches us a profound lesson about the love that He expects from us.   Rather than answering, “A Jew should love a Jew,” like I believe the lawyer wanted to hear, Jesus tells him a story. Jesus never reveals the nationality or religion of the main protagonist; instead, He refers to ...

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! Who can fellowship: You can fellowship with one other person or sixty other people! That is what is great about it. Sometimes it is nice to just sit down and talk for hours with one person. You can also eat a meal, play games, and talk with twenty ...

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 four-page lesson in my hand began this weird “trip down memory lane” ...

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 and that’s when I’m reminded of a certain truth.   In Isaiah ...
