Life is good, God is better, and his people are something else!

First, thanks to some of God’s people. Thanks to Heidi Shreve and Beth Neihof for stepping up and stepping in to help with our Sebring Camp children on Friday morning while Don and Jessica Specht were away ministering to their family in the event of Don’s brother-in-law’s passing.

Bob Flint began our Adult Bible Study with an excellent overview of the book Hebrews. Roy Lauter’s morning message was a challenging indictment. Roy called it a “lecmon” –a combination of lecture and sermon. His subject was “culpable neutrality,” calling us as Christians to rise up and take a stand in our world and culture for that which is right and godly. Not getting involved—or neutrality—is not an option.

John Neihof’s evening message from Jeremiah 2:22, filled with vivid illustrations from his own experiences, was a tender appeal to the simplicity of the gospel. Young and old alike shall not soon forget, “We have sin problem, and the sinner needs salvation, not soap.”

We’re looking forward to a great Saturday at Sebring Camp. WeatherBug promises mostly sunny, cooler than it has been temperatures, with only a 5% chance of precipitation. We begin this morning with another great passage on prayer—Genesis 32:24-32—wrestling Jacob. Much more certain than WeatherBug is God’s promise to bless!

If you can, join us today on old Quaker Hill in Sebring. If you can’t, pray for us, that God will bless, and touch the lives of children, youth, and adults with His grace.
