Hi Friends,
I am re-reading one of my favorite books, The Barbarian Way by Erwin McManus. It is a great book that we recommend very much - it will challenge your views on being a Christian as opposed to being a "passionate follower of Jesus Christ" - there is a difference!
McManus writes:
“So many of us have put our hope in teaching our children about God rather than guiding them into an experience with God. We essentially civilize our children rather than guide them to the barbarian way. I am concerned that there are many who have grown up in church and have been effectively Christianized but have never genuinely met Christ…Our goal must not be to populate the Christian religion but to bring people into a genuine relationship with God. We must make a clear distinction between the religion of Christianity and the revolution that Jesus began two thousand years ago.”
We desire to guide our campers into an experience with God. He teaches us as we pursue Him.
Have a wonderful week!
In Him,
The BHDM Team
