Gull Lake - Biblical Worldview Retreat

We made it back safe and sound from Gull Lake this afternoon. 27 teens and 7 adult leaders made the trip up to Michigan this weekend. It was a tremendous blessing to get away and spend some quality time with the teens learning about a Biblical Worldview and building relationships.

We learned a lot over the course of the time there. Some of the things we learned are that we need to have a Worldview that matches up with God's Word and the only way to know what that is is to be in the Word. We need to be studying the Bible in order to know what it says so we can know how to respond to situations in life. The Bible is the mind of Christ and we need to have the mind of Christ. The answer to all of life's questions can be found in the Bible.

Everyone has a worldview, it's either God-centered or Self-centered. What's yours?

UPCOMING: Biblical Worldview Retreat

October 23-25 is our retreat to Gull Lake Ministries in Hickory Corners, MI. We are planning to leave at 1:00 pm CST on Friday 10/23 and return around 2:00 pm CST on Sunday. The cost for the weekend is $50 per person. Teens need to have a permission form completed as well.

We'll be staying in dorms so plan to bring your own linens, bedding and pillow. Also make sure to bring your Bible and a notebook.

The purpose of this retreat is to impress upon our teens the importance of thinking biblically in EVERY decision with which they are faced. Every person has a “worldview”, and that worldview affects the way we think, thus affecting our behavior. PJ will present five teaching/discussion sessions challenging our teens to filter all decisions and actions through the grid of Scripture for God-honoring results. Your teen will be stretched and challenged to THINK. The best $50 you could ever spend on your teen.
