My favorite passage of scripture is:
John 15:18-20: "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also."
We are not our own. With every decision in my life, I need to remember to do what God wants me to do as opposed to what the world wants me to do. This will be a continual struggle, but one with unspeakable benefits!
Campers need to be challenged not to let the world’s judgments hinder their work for the Lord. You need to understand that God is in control and you should praise Him in all you do whether it’s what the world wants or not! This is a wonderful challenge for everyone!
