“Garbage In, Garbage Out”

Psalm 19:14

“May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”

I hope you take time to read all of the One Year Bible passages this week, because there are some really rich stories about God’s goodness, His plans and the ordinary people He has used to display His Glory throughout history.  You’ve got the conclusion of the story of Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat – what was intended for evil, God used for Good.   Then you hear Moses leading the Israelites in dining hall singing – “O, Baby, let my people go!”  Okay, maybe it wasn’t singing that led to the release of the Israelites, but God’s plan was fulfilled and His promise, as always, was kept.  Jumping forward in time, we’re reminded of 4,000 fed, a bold declaration by a follower of Christ, The Glory of the Son of God on display – one of the first spiritual “mountain top” experiences, and demons cast out … all of this happening in the midst of much more.  With all of those remarkable events, it may seem odd that I would be so struck by a portion of the Psalm readings for this week.  But it seems right to listen to David proclaim the Glory of God in His creation and His Word.

Psalm 19 opens with David declaring God to be awesome in His creation.  How many times have we looked to the starry sky and been wowed by His Majesty … The sun and the moon and the stars catch our eye and stir our heart as we are captivated by the Creator’s beauty.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people talk about how much they “experience” the Lord through the wonder of His creation. Our God definitely speaks to us through His creation in magnificent ways.

What’s striking is that David goes on to make a case that the very creation that marvels us in how it declares God’s Glory doesn’t compare to His spoken Word.   With repetition, he describes how awesome His word is.  God’s law is described as “perfect”, “sure”, “making wise”, “true”, “righteous”, “more desired than gold”, and “sweeter than honey”.  My heart and mind need to be filled with things that are true and right … “For out of the overflow of my heart my mouth speaks”.  Luke 6:45.  I know that sometimes I see a lack of fruit in my life as a result of garbage in, garbage out.  My mind and heart can easily be filled throughout the day with “garbage” – frustration, lust, anger, sarcasm, unwholesome images, etc.  Garbage in, Garbage out!  That’s why I love to be reminded of how God’s word speaks to us and fills us … pure in, purity out … love in, love out … forgiveness in, forgiveness out!

One commentator says, “God’s creation is great and good. However, it does not even begin to teach you as the law of God does.  The specifics that we need about how to live are in the law of God. Both are needed, but the revelation of the law takes one far beyond the nature of the creation.”

In his commentary, Matthew Henry shared that “The Holy Scripture is of much greater benefit to us than day or night, than the air we breathe, or the light of the sun.  To recover man out of his fallen state, there is need of the word of God.”   Yet another reminds that, “The knowledge of God that is revealed in Creation is only very limited. Beyond the awareness of the Creator, the instruction of nature tells us little about the ways of God or what our response to God should be. Therefore, the psalmist turns to the instruction of God’s Word.”

Join me this week as I strive to fill my mind and heart with His Word – to the end that I may know Him more and make Him known more by the way I live and love those around me.  The word of my mouth and the meditations of my heart pleasing to Him – that’s my desire!  Oh yeah, and don’t forget to take the garbage out!

SB2W News Post

The SB2W Staff clears the lake of snow for an ice rink.

Hey, it's a lot easier than shoveling.

Don't try this at home.

We, of course, were thankful the ice held!  The ice is 12" to 14" thick.

Taking a Bold Step

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” [Jesus] said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

                                                                                                            -- Matthew 14:28-29

Peter doesn’t always get things right.  But I love what he does here.  And I love the example that he sets for us.

Jesus, who was walking on the water, told Peter to come.  So what is a disciple (a follower) to do?  He stepped out of the boat to be with his Master.  Peter courageously followed Jesus, and he ended up walking on water.

Can the same be said of you?  Are you willing to courageously follow Jesus where he’s leading?  Jesus encouraged the disheartened (Matthew 11:1-19); he spoke truth when it wasn’t popular (11:20-24); and he met the needs of people (Matthew 14:13-21).  Are you willing to follow Jesus when that means doing things that aren’t comfortable or “safe”? 

“And when they climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.  Then those who were in the boat worshiped [Jesus] saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God’” (Matthew 14:33).  At the end of the day, Peter had a bigger and better picture of Jesus because he was bold enough to step out of the boat to follow.  Might the same be said of you and me. 

Don't Waste Your Youth

"Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this age"  Romans  12:2

A couple years ago I was driving down route 30 and I saw an advertisement that pictured a middle aged woman partying, apparently having a "good" time.  The billboard was advertising cosmetic surgery.  The tag line across the top read, "Youth, Waste it Again."  What this billboard seemed to be communicating was that the best way to spend one's years of youth was by partying them away,  soaking up the pleasures of the world while you are young.  In other words, save the serious things of life for later. And then when you are all grown up and tired of being serious go get cosmetic surgery so that you can experience those wasteful years all over again, grabbing up as much "pleasure" as possible.

There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking it is hard to know where to start.  Can you pick up on the lies that are told by this advertisement?  Is partying your youth away the best that this world has to offer?  Will the sinful pleasures of this world really satisfy you and bring you deep, rich, and abiding fulfillment in life?  I won't deny that there is some pleasure in these worldly youthful pursuits, but I want to ask you what I hope are two thought provoking questions.  If we give our mind, heart, and soul to these pleasures for our youthful years do we really think that having become enslaved and engrossed in them that all of a sudden in adulthood we will see clearly enough to pull out of these patterns? Do we really think that these youthful pursuits are consequence free?

One of America's most influential pastors once said this in answer to the above question. "Experience teaches that when persons spend their youth in sin, God often leaves them to hardness of heart all their lifetime after. God is provoked by how many sin away their youth and flatter themselves that they will seek God when their youth is past. But God is provoked by their presumption and leaves them to go on as they have been."  (taken from http://www.whatsbestnext.com/2011/01/edwards-give-your-youth-to-seeking-the-things-of-god/  on 1/17/11)

We hope you will think hard about the truth above.  Do not be fooled into thinking that the decisions you make today, this week, this year are not creating lifelong patterns, habits, and ways of thinking.  To these patterns and habits and ways of thinking you will be committed.  It will be terribly difficult, if not impossible, to leave them behind later in life.  Additionally, the consequences, the pain, the destruction to your mind, body, and soul will most definitely remain.  Give your life to Jesus Christ now and seek to follow Him from here forward.

Reading your Bibles = Great Treasure

"Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold."  Proverbs 3:13-14

If you were given the choice between wisdom or riches what would you choose?  Oddly enough when I came into the office this morning I found out that an acquaintance of mine just won 1.5 million dollars in the lottery.  What an interesting position to find oneself.  Certainly this will require of this couple a tremendous amount of wisdom.  Will their new found treasure be brought into submission to the wisdom they have gained in following Christ for many years?  Thankfully I believe this couple will be found faithful. 

This past week the readings have taken us through Proverbs chapter 3.  Wisdom is spoken of as a valuable treasure.  Do you think of wisdom as a great treasure?  What is wisdom?  According to this passage the source of wisdom and knowledge is the Lord.  Further, in v. 1 of this chapter it is the Bible's teaching and commandments where we find wisdom.  I'm reminded that my own knowledge, my own perspective, and my own thoughts are totally insufficient to guide me.  I need the Lord and His Word to lead me along straight paths.  I need His Word to know what is right and best for my life.

Emily Smethurst, 4th term captain at Lake Gloria, recently wrote: 
This year at camp God really revealed to me how alive His Word is.  Many times I just read it, maybe think about it for a minute, then move on with my day.  I really feel like God has opened my eyes to how His words are absolutely amazing, God-breathed and inerrant.  When I started to read scripture with new eyes, really thinking about what the words mean to me instead of just skimming through, I was hit in the face with reminders of how worthy God is of my worship and further reminded of how undeserving I am of His grace.  


We cannot find wisdom unless we are reading God's Word.  We cannot enjoy the gain, the treasure, the profit of wisdom unless we are reading our Bibles.  I'm reminded today and inspired to continue to pursue God even more fervently through the Scriptures.

Former Camper Testimony

Catie Voorhies is a former camper at Lake Gloria.  We were impressed with her testimony and she graciously has allowed us to share it with you.

" I grew up in a Christian family that was based on biblical principles. I was introduced to Christ at a young age, and I believe that I understood my salvation to the best of my ability. My walk with the Lord has gone through many stages and a lot of maturation since then. I went through a time of rebellion and darkness for three years (junior year of high school till freshman year of college), and was revived from it about a year and a half ago when I spent a month volunteering at Young Life camp. Through this time I knew the Lord but was not walking with him and was disobedient to his commands for my life. Romans 5:20 say that where sin increased, grace increased all the more. I have seen this promise worked out in my life. My sin left me shameful and scared, but Christ gave me more grace than I could have imagined. His grace drew me to my knees and I decided that he would forever have my life and heart. I decided to make major changes in my life and moved to Steamboat Springs, CO to give myself more time alone with the Father, and to let him do whatever he wanted to do with my heart and my life. I spent a year getting to know who God is and who I am through him. I then spent time volunteering in Uganda, where I felt the Lord leading me to go to Colorado Christian University. My relationship with the Lord is now one of great love and intimacy, rather than one of rules and habits. I have fully devoted my life to bringing glory to the Lord and showing others the amazing grace and love that He generously pours over us. I now have seen my desperate need for Jesus and look to him to tell me who I am rather than to the world. God has been drastically changing me and molding me into who he wants me to be for the last year and a half. Each day He is revealing himself to me. Recently he has been revealing the intimacy he desires with each of his children that we so often forget he intended for us. It has been amazing to see where His hand has been throughout my whole life and how He has now brought me to where I am today! "

Falling Short of the Glory of God

"From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" Matthew 4:17


"Immediately they left their nets and followed Him." Matthew 4:20

Standing in the Middle of Lake Gloria Looking Back at the Dining Hall

As we were having staff prayer this morning Kent Biery prayed, thanking God for the beauty of the freshly fallen snow all over camp.  He was appreciative of the way the snow was a reminder of how Jesus Christ has  cleansed us of our sin.  Isaiah 1:18 says, "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."  We desperately need Jesus Christ.  We need His shed blood that covers our sins and makes us clean.  We need His righteousness as our own because we fall short of glorifying God.

In the previous devotional entitled "The Glory Goes To God" we were exhorted to live in such a way that God is glorified.  The truth about us and our lives is that we are completely unable to live this out.  The truth about us is that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).  What should be our course of action seeing that we fall so short?

I was reminded this week in our readings of the only course of action.  Jesus began His ministry by calling people to repentance.  Repent means to turn from one's sin and follow Jesus, resting upon Him for forgiveness and salvation.  I love that immediately following Jesus' call to repentance comes the example of His disciples who left everything they knew behind to follow Him.  It is worth asking of ourselves as we begin this new year what we must leave behind, what we must turn away from, what we must repent of as we seek to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Only in turning to Him will we find ourselves white as snow.  Only in turning to Him will we find our lives glorifying Him.  Jesus alone has done and is doing this great work of redeeming our lives.

Happy New Year! The Glory Goes to God.

We hope this finds you having enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and New Year's break.  For us on the full time staff it included a lot of travels to see family, a fantastic counselor reunion (photos coming soon), and a little bit of ice hockey on Lake Gloria.  We hope your time was filled with fun, relaxation, time with family, and most importantly the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord and our Emmanuel, God with us.  


Reminder:
We want to remind you as we start this new year how important it is to be connecting with our Lord Jesus every day.  This is what it means to be in relationship with Him.  The whole reason Summer's Best Two Weeks exists is to see all of us grow in our love for Jesus Christ and be committed to living our lives differently.  We live differently because of Jesus's love for us and our love for Him.  Towards this end we will continue to be posting devotional verses every week.  We strongly encourage you to take time to read your Bibles.  You don't have to read every passage we post, but we encourage you to pick at least one passage (Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm, or Proverb) each day to read and reflect on.  You can easily copy and print each week's devotional passages and stick them in your Bible.  We will continue to post a devotional reflection each week on one of those passages.  We look forward to digging into God's Word together.

First Devotional of 2011
"A son honors his father, and a servant his master.  If then I am a father, where is my honor?" Malachi 1:6

We were made to honor, to love, to worship God.  Another way of saying it is, "The Glory Goes to God".  Have you ever finished a competition and known that you did not give your very best, that you put forth a mediocre effort?  Imagine how frustrated your team around you felt if they knew that you gave far less than your best.  How much more is God, our Creator, upset when we use our gifts and talents He has given us in a mediocre fashion.  In this passage from Malachi, God is upset by His people's refusal to give Him the honor He deserves.  He deserves to have their very best, to be worshiped with excellence. Instead what God received from His people was pathetic.  They were offering sacrifices to him that were unacceptable.  Instead of bringing their best sheep to offer before God, they brought lame, sickly, blind, and stolen sheep.

God wants our best.  We do not live in Old Testament times so none of us will be or should sacrifice sheep, but we are asked to give the best of ourselves towards God's purposes.  Romans 12:1 calls us to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."  God wants us to give our all to Him and for Him.  To live in such a way that people see from our lives and our actions that God is glorious.  So whatever we apply ourselves to this new year, be it orchestra, Sunday AM worship, athletics, youth group, leadership positions, relationships with friends and family, work, or leisure, let us do it in a way that honors our Lord and Savior by giving our best.  Let us remember that the glory goes to God.

A Dose of Loving Discipline

"Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent."  Revelation 3:19

I was doing nightly devotions with my two oldest kids this weekend and one of my children asked why I discipline them.  I found the question to be timely because I had read recently from Proverbs 29:15, which says, "The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother."  So I read this to my kids and told them their Father wants them to be wise and loves them far too much to leave them to figure out how to wisely navigate life on their own. 

As you read your Bible today be reminded that God loves you.  He knows what is best for you, which is why he corrects and disciplines you.  If you are sensing His discipline right now I want to encourage you to respond with a zealousness for repentance.  This means being passionate about repentance.  Repentance is to turn away from that which is displeasing to God.  It means to stop doing that for which we are being disciplined.

One of the reasons I love reading the Bible is because I find correction and discipline for my life there.  A few verses prior to v. 19 the writer speaks of God's anger at our being lukewarm towards him.  I was convicted by these corrective verses to pursue God more zealously than I had been doing.  As a result I sought out God with a repentant heart.  Thank the Lord for correcting our ways and disciplining us.

Being "Right"

“Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God.  Your sins have been your downfall.  Take words with you and return to the Lord.  Say to him: ‘Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously…”  Hosea 14:1-2

I love to be “right”, all the time in fact, and with correct motivation, desiring to be “right” can be a good thing.   In fact God encourages us to seek righteousness.  But how do we know when our motivation to be “right” is, well right?    One easy way is to see how we respond when we are in fact proved to be wrong. 

My wife and I keep a small heater in our son’s room to keep him warm during the cold winter nights in the Laurel Highlands.  The other night I checked the heater that she had turned on and quickly informed her that she had not adjusted the setting properly.  Despite the insignificance of the apparent mishap, a small argument occurred over who was “right”. Feelings were hurt.  An hour later I returned to the heater to find out that in fact she had done it correctly.   I felt foolish and very sorry for what I had said, however, I did not say anything to her.  I was too prideful to admit my mistake and as a result, our relationship suffered.

In the book of Hosea, the prophet is pointing out Israel’s destructive involvement in idols and false religions and calling for them to repent.  Even though they knew they were wrong, sin was dragging the nation down and hurting their relationship with the Lord.  Hosea encourages the people to “take works with you and return to the Lord.”  Repentance requires verbal recognition to the person that has been wronged.   Just being sorry is often not enough to mend the relationship.

It wasn’t until I admitted my fault to my wife were we able to move on.  It was not easy and I realized that my desire to be right was motivated by selfishness and pride.

 Are you like me sometimes?  Is there someone you need to admit your faults to?  A friend, brother, sister, parent or the Lord?  Do as Hosea instructed and “take your words” to them.  God will meet you with grace and forgiveness but only if you ask.
