SUMMER 2008 at PONDEROSA...THOUSAND PINES SUMMER GAMES
Soccer, football, baseball, basketball, swimming, track, and gymnastics…what do these have in common? What does it take to be a great athlete? If you answered, “It takes a lot of training”, you are absolutely right! To be great at any sport, it takes a lot of discipline on your part to live and train your body, mind, and spirit in such a way that when you compete, you will win. This summer, our theme is The Ponderosa Summer Games 2008. We are going to begin the process of training to win. Not to win a physical race, but a spiritual one. In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, the Apostle Paul uses imagery of sports to paint a picture about the importance of being prepared for the race ahead:
“Do you not know that those that run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.”
It takes much practice and training to be a great physical athlete as well as a spiritual athlete. Endurance, Discipline, Strength, and Obedience are a few of the traits that will help you to run this spiritual race well. This is going to be our focus at Thousand Pines Camp Ponderosa for Summer 2008. Are you ready for the challenge? Are you ready to begin your spiritual training? Tighten you shoe laces, put on your running clothes, and prepare your heart for what God wants to teach you this summer. Let’s run this race to win!
