Our Boot Camp

All that I have encountered in this life, taught me many things I would not otherwise know and made me stronger in Christ.

I believe that we are on earth to learn lessons that will help us rule in the Millennium. I count the training ground here as valuable.

When we learn to ignore our emotions in favor of truth, we can see the purpose in everything that happens to us and even laugh at some of the calamities.

We weep with sorrow over those who have rejected Christ and us because of Him. We feel down at times discouraged over all we see around us, but we are not destroyed. Christ Who lives in us has a purpose for this boot camp in which we live.

2 Corinthians 4:7-14

"7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;
8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10 always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So death works in us, but life in you.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,
14 knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you."
