The Father Son Retreat

Praise be to the Father, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost!  This weekend there was approximately seventy souls at the father son retreat.  Soccer was a blast as the sons played against the dads.  Although it was a little hard to convince them to play, they did, and they did good!  The fathers and sons pariticipated in shooting rifles, bow and arrows, multiple rope course activities and then played a kick ball game! 

After the scavenger hunt, we ate dinner and then went to the chapel where we heard a wonderful message.  We heard the truth about having two roads to go down, one may seem easy but leads to death and the other one may be hard at times but leads to life.  We learned that the road that leads to life is traveled by picking up the cross of Jesus Christ and walking with that cross.  Jesus Christ, for those who believe in Him, He becomes our righteousness, our sanctification, our wisdom and our redemption!  (1 Corinthians 1:30)  Praise Jesus.  For those who do not believe in Jesus, they have no true wisdom, nor redemption, thy are not sanctified, and are unrightoues.  I was reminded by God this morning in Galatians 3:10 that we also are under a curse if were not in Jesus Christ. 

There is only one way to be freed from the curse, and that is through Jesus, who became a curse for us on the cross, knowing that it is written, cursed is everyone that hangs from a tree. (Galatians 3:13)
