What is the Purpose of Camp?

Been in such a rush that I have had practically no time to sit and reflect, and prepare for the things ahead.

Camp, being one of them.

As I enter the workforce, I feel that it is so easy to go about daily doing and planning, instead of spending time to reflect, to think critically.

Instead of spending time, with God.

We exhaust our minds and bodies planning and doing... for?

We tell our kids to work hard... for?

A better life? ...For?

"The word community is thrown around quite a bit in Christian circles today. But our gatherings can be toxic if we do not spend time alone with God. I’ve been in many groups where people share their insights. The problem is not only that our insights are not as profound as we think they are, but that we’re so eager to share thoughts originating in our own minds, when we have a God who says,

“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8–9)

I want to know the thoughts of God. I want to gather with people who have been reading God’s words, people who have prayed and interacted with him. I want to fellowship with those who fellowship with God. I couldn’t care less if you have a doctorate in theology or sixty years of life experience. I would rather talk with a fifteen-year-old who has been in the presence of God."
