Greetings again in the name of our Lord, Thanks be to God for those who have a pure heart and those who give of their time, energy, and finances to further God’s Kingdom. Those just described are unfortunately very rare in this day and time. Many are short changing God and themselves by pursuing pleasure, personal riches, power, and other temporal things. While the country that we live in gives us a right to pursue such things, true joy and riches only come from putting God first and serving Him. Oh, how I would love to see our churches be healthy, vibrant, and on fire for God. But in order to see this, I believe that we as Christian individuals and families need to put God first, over and above ALL other things. This includes ourselves. Look at God’s Word to see what blessings we miss through selfish pursuits. Christ said “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Psalm 119:2 says “Blessed are they that keep His testimonies and that seek Him with the whole heart.” James tells us that we will be blessed by being doers of the word and not hearers only (James 1:22-25). These are only a few scriptures to note.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say “Blessed is he who seeks his own gain and pleasure.” Yet, that is what many of us do. Please, let us deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Him. In closing, I ask for you to pray that God will allow the Holy Spirit to intervene in the ministries of Camp Jacob. May God bless us all as we seek to further His Kingdom.
Love in Christ,
Daniel Osborne
