Hello from Camp Oliver! Thirty-five young adults and eight staff members are working together to make this a memorable Young Adult Spring Weekend. We have people who have traveled from the East Coast, Ohio, South Dakota, Arizona and California to be at this event and it seems like it is going well.
Mr. Peter Nathan is leading the discussion about where the different types of texts that make up different translations come from. He is explaining the way different Bibles were canonized. It has led to some very interesting discussions between the Young Adults. Mr. Nathan hopes to make his presentation available on the Church website in the future.
Mr. Nathan said that we must show those around us who we belong to by the way we live our lives. It is not possible from biblical archaeological to prove the existence of God or even some of tenets that we find in the Bible but we can prove it through spiritual revelation. We live by faith!
I wonder how many of do that? What does it take in our lives to make us realize that we must move forward not necessarily by a way of sight but by how our Creator works with us and motivates us through his spirit. How in tune are we with that?
By the way, it is really raining here in San Diego County! We have to stay dry running between the buildings and look forward to hot chocolate and coffee and warm fires. It is definitely worth the trouble to see the young people enjoying themselves and learning so much good information.
Until next time,
Jerry de Gier
