Camp of the Word

Welcome to Camp of the Word!

 
Camp of the Word is truly a camp like no other camp in the world!  Nestled deep in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, on the sparkling waters of beautiful Lake Nier, Camp of the Word is about the most fun you can have in a week anywhere. 

You can slide down our crazy water slide, swim, ski, tube or hot dog on Lake Nier, play basketball, skateboard at Skate Camp (once a summer) and enjoy the weekly competition to see who will be the Champions of the Word.  Stay for a week, stay for two weeks, stay the whole summer--Camp of the Word is the latest in Godly fun and you'll have a great time no longer how long you stay, and when you leave you'll be wanting to come back for more.

Camp of the Word is full of Godly fun because all of our activities are designed on the premise that Christians are fun and fun should be Christian.  We try to honor our Lord with our bodies, our souls and our minds, by staying modest in apparel, overflowing in our praise of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and committed in our worship and study of the Bible.  Not only will you be having fun with all of our camp activites you'll also be finding out how much fun it is to study God's Word and how hard it is to have a truly good time without the Bible, Christ and His Church being at the center of your life.

So come for a week, two weeks, the whole summer and find out why Camp of the Word is truly like no other camp in the world.

Flirting with the World

Wow.  Just wow.  Now that we have internet access here at Camp of the Word (extremely limited, as I understand it.  We have very strict filters that don't allow an sites with obscenities or pornagraphy through) I'm learning a lot about my brothers and sisters in Christ and about what other Christian organizations are doing.  Some of it's pretty amazing and some of it gives me a lot of misgivings.

Focus on the Family is a group I have a lot of agreement with as they fight abortionists, the Gay Agenda and support Traditional Families.  But they often appear close to the line to me, putting more emphasis on political action and less on spreading the gospel and staying away from the things of the world.  They have a "web page" that looks at modern culture and critiques it for how bad it is.  Music, movies, videos, books, you name it, they're out there looking for "safe" worldly entertainments for you to enjoy:

Politics, World Events and Christ's Church

Matthew 6: 19-21

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

I think I've become a little bit "dazzled" by this internet and writing on this blog the past couple of days and I have been distracted by an important truth.  Politics is for the most part just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.  World Events are important as they are part of God's Plan and usher in the Rapture of the Church, but of themselves they hold little importance.  With God's help I'll try to keep the focus of this web blog on the things that matter, the eternal things that neither moth nor rust corrupts--the Salvation of souls, creating families of Godly love with Godly mothes and fathers and children, and sharing His Word wherever we go.

Middle East Revolutions and Israel

 

 

I have a lot of respect for Jimmy DeYoung who keeps one finger on the pulse of the Middle East and the Holy Land and keeps another finger free to turn the pages of his Bible, so that he can watch Biblical prophecy played out on the world stage.   God will use human governments and in particular Egypt and the other Middle East nations to do his will in the End Times.  The King of the South (Egypt!) will be the first nation to come and try to destroy the State of Israel.  We may be seeing the fuse of the final days being lit before our eyes and, as Jimmy says the Rapture of the Church could occur at any moment, "...let's keep looking up until..."

50 Billion Planets in our Galaxy?

Cosmic census finds crowd of planets in our galaxy - Technology & science - Space - msnbc.com

Scientists are estimating that there are over 50 billion planets just in our galaxy, not to mention however many other galaxies there are out there.  You know what the truly amazing thing is?  Jesus only came to one of those planets, he only died to take away the sins of one world.  Earth.  When you listen to scientists talk about evolution you can't help but be amazed at how much luck is involved in the process.  But that's nothing compared to us being lucky enough to be loved by God so much he'd sacrifice his only son to save us from our iniquity.

The More They Attack Gov. Palin, the Stronger She Will Get

Sarah Palin Media Addict from Gina Gershon

 

 

PLEASE BE WARNED--THIS VIDEO CONTAINS DISTRUBING AND GRAPHIC IMAGES IN AN ATTEMPT TO TEAR DOWN GOV. PALIN!

Please, I only post this to make you aware of the lengths the LameStream Media will go to in order to denigrate Gov. Palin and tear her down. She's the best chance America has to head back in the right direction again. Join with me and fight the LameStream Media's attempts to lie and distort who Gov. Palin is and what she stands for!  She calls them LameStream, and in order to honor her I will call them that here.  But they are really tools of the devil and though we mock them, never underestimate their commitment to spreading lies, deceipt and evil.
