A New Generation of Christ Followers… In HD!
I spent last week at Kamp Kingsland at Highland Lakes near Austin. I had the honor and privilege of serving as the High School camp pastor for the week. Hanging out with 250 high school students for 5 days is quite a rush! Everything from exciting rec teams and whacked out games like “egg beaters” and “wheel toss” followed by disgusting challenges like drinking a cup of blended sardines made the week spectacular. At night…”Evening Extras” like and “80′s party, Kingsland’s got talent, and of course the traditional Legacy Walk.
The theme of the week was life in HD. We talked a lot about living life as a Christ follower with High Definition clarity as opposed to the tragic low res version of Christianity that so many people adopt. The students memorized the Sh’ma, Dt. 6:4-9 in English and in Hebrew. They studied the Word of God finding biblical examples of High Definition Christianity. I pray they walked away with an HD understanding of King Jesus and a new passion for His Word… the very words of God.
I walked away with a gift. A new enthusiasm. I have to tell you, I am excited about this new generation of Christ followers. They have the potential to be the greatest generation of American Christ-followers ever. I am begging God for it knowing that He has wired them for it. Thank the Lord for a generation of students following Christ, demonstrating Him to the world in High Definition clarity. Join me in cheering them on!
