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 that I would like to share some of these experiences with you. This past summer, ...

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 helping at other CBM camps, assisting with events here at the Tuckaleechee Retreat ...

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. He was given incredible riches, imperial status, and supernatural wisdom to accomplish this task from God. Recently, Solomon has become a character of interest to me. His books fascinate me, his words are always inspiring and thought-provoking, and his deeds are incredible. 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, “Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, ...

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? Sometimes the conversations are fun and bubbly , and other times, they are more ...

Desires of the Heart

By CBM National intern, Matt Presley - So back in October I began talking to God about what my next step in life was. I was two months away from finishing a ten month internship program at the Blake House, a faith based men's regeneration program. It was now time to start looking for a job, which I was praying would include God's purpose. A month later and a long story short, He said "I've got the perfect thing! How about another internship program with a children's ministry!?" Scripture says when you seek God, He'll give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). Just know it often doesn't look the way you would have it. Here I am, 36 years ...
