Today's Sports Highlights....

The word on the street ....

Testimonies from some of the Campers:

"This youth conference has been such a blessing to me. It has been so refreshing to come away from work and the distractions of life and be able to worship and learn with like-minded Christians my own age. One thing I have appreciated about the speakers is their transparency. Each of them has been very open and honest about struggles and failures in their own lives. They have been real examples of a Godly walk with Christ, and I am so thankful for their leadership. God has taught me a lot about what it means to live a pure life. Mr. Brazier used the example of Daniel. I am learning the importance of making a definite decision every day to live a pure life; both in my thoughts as well as my actions. He is worthy of my all. ~ Maria Conner

"There are so many things that have stuck out to me at the Youth conference this week. But, it seems everything has been pointing to one thing = being 'totally His.' Through the teaching on the cost of following Christ and not being afraid to identify with Christ, and on living without hypocrisy, one message permeates it all: being totally His. This idea has stuck out to me and though I have failed to apply this many times through sports or fellowship; I pray that I will continue to strive to be Totally His." Nathan Johnson

Quiet Moments ...

"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His Holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart: who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Jacob. Selah." Psalm 24:3-6

Latest News ...

The Campers just attended a session with Mr. Brazier on living a pure life in an unpure world. Mr. Brazier brought out some really great points about who we are living for, the real meaning of love, and the purity with which we should treat those of the opposite gender.

Some "Nuggets:"

• Christ needs to be three things to you daily: your satisfaction, sufficiency, and security.
• You should want to live a pure life for Christ's sake.
• God gives His commands for your sake ... not to restrict you- but to set you free.
• Love is Self-Denial.
• This kind of love can only be done if Christ is your satisfaction. This type of love will set you free.
• Just because you know it, you have to now live it.
• Take responsibility for your life today.
• Three relational snares to avoid: 1) :Playing the field, 2) Obsession, 3) having a fantasy world.

Beauty:

"It is a beautiful thing when you see a young man love God and live for Him alone.

It is a beautiful thing when you see a young woman who is not being taken in by young men who are "playing her" or giving her attention."

"How beautiful to see young men and women standing for the glory of God."

Mr. Brazier addressed the question: "How do we live a pure life in an unpure world?" His conclusion? Simply this; "you must be satisfied in Jesus Christ alone."
