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 ...

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 means for liberation. Labels should tell you where you need to grow and what ...

Four Things to Remember

By CBM National interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter We have spent our first CBM National Internship rotation at Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go doing released time with a very wonderful teacher! She gives the kids four things to remember: Bible, friends, lessons, and verses. Obviously, this is a way to encourage the kids to invite others to hear God’s word and to get them to understand it better themselves. We think this is something that every person should remember also, whether you are four or sixty-four.   BIBLE: We need to be in our Bible every single day so we can become more knowledgeable of God, as well as prepared to love the world. ...

CBM Interns – Jesus Became Like Us

By CBM National interns, David and Elizabeth Price As Christmas approaches this year, I find myself thinking a lot more about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Having just recently given birth to my own baby boy, I have a lot better understanding of what Mary went through. Traveling to Bethlehem at 9 months pregnant must have been agonizingly uncomfortable, and giving birth in a stable rather than the comfort of her own home surely added to the pain and nervousness she was probably already feeling. But mostly, I’ve been thinking about Mary being a first-time mom. Even though Mary had been told very clearly by Gabriel that the child born to her would ...

CBM Interns-How To’s

By CBM National Interns, Scott and Jerri Carpenter The CBM National internship is definitely a blessing from God. We could tell that from our very first day here! The classes alone have already showed us so much. We cannot even begin to imagine what the time we spend at different CBM camps is going to do for us. We have learned new lessons, dove deep into things we already believed to expound even further, and definitely seen how our lives should be shaped by God. We can’t thank Him enough for the experience He has already given us. God has shown us three big “how to’s” for being a Christian since we have started this internship...
