What an awesome camp, an unforgettable experience. John and your entire Ransomed Heart team did a great job, thank you. The only way to navigate through this life full of its challenges is by walking with a conversational relationship with God, to know and follow the voice of the Shepard. Hennie, South Africa
The only way to live. Takes so much practice. Constant practice. Getting out of the Standard Operating Procedure takes constant vigilance and repentance.
Before I met Christ, I was a drinker. I was miraculously delivered from drugs and alcohol. Fast forward to a book and video series my church adopted for men "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge. This book was really connecting with my inner man. Then the book and the video came to a place where the "real men" were drinking beer and he declared, "I dont drink cheap beer"....wait, what? Now, I'm not here to condemn drinking or anyone that does. All I know is what happened to me. That "beer seed" that was sown stayed with me for a few weeks until one hot day after mowing the lawn i thought to myself, "Man, a cold beer sure sounds good!" Then i started to reason that I wouldn't get the cheap stuff, it should be alright, that's what men do...right? I wont go into detail of the next 20 PLUS YEARS of my "desert experience" of alcohol and drug use. I have re-dedicated my life to Jesus (praise His name). This book should come with a disclaimer on it. I am certain that I'M NOT the only one to have been caught in this snare. Our liberty is not worth another’s walk with God. If something God allows would lead another to sin, we need to avoid it. We are given great freedom as Christians, but the greatest is the freedom to consider others’ welfare over our own. 1 Corinthians 8:9 (ESV) But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.
