I am writing this blog entry from Centri-Kid camp, at Skycroft Camp in Maryland. The theme verses for the week are two of my all time favorites:
Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
The theme of the week that goes along with the verse is "Game On! Living a transformed life." The kids will be challenged to not just know about Jesus, but to know Him in a way that transforms their lives. It is real easy for kids that grow up in church to know all "about" Jesus without ever really knowing Him intimately and personally. It is the intimate, personal knowledge of Christ that is a transforming knowledge.
Can I challenge you to do what the children are being challenged to do? Examine your life. Does it reflect the transforming power of Jesus? If not, what can you do to know the Savior better so that His power transforms you?
Remember, the bible was not written simply for your information.....it was written for your transformation.
