Suit Up - Day 4 Part 2

Praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has truly blessed us this evening in our chapel. Chris spoke about the Helmet of Salvation. What does salvation mean? We use that term a lot in church, but it means that God has rescued us from our sins and offers us forgiveness. Forgiveness is critical because everyone has sinned (Romans 3:23) and deserves to die, being separated from God for all eternity. But God has freed us from sin by Jesus' death on the cross. Chris explained that we have a choice to make with the gift of love that God has for us. When we surrender our lives to Him, we get eternal life! Many of the children responded tonight to that simple message and invitation that Chris gave. Many more stayed after to rededicate their lives to Jesus. As I walked around the chapel watching the kids praying with their counselors, I was reminded that this is why we do Lightseekers Camp. I will blog tomorrow as we close our week.
