There’s a spiritual battle going on at all times and in all places. Thankfully God has equipped us with everything we need to fight and win. Brian, the team member who presented the Bible lessons this week, spoke on this theme from Ephesians. He and his wife did a fantastic job using visual aids to drive the point home.
The first lesson was about using the sword of the Spirit. Each camper received a Romanian New Testament and was encouraged to read it. Brian explained that simply owning a Bible isn’t enough to fight the enemy; one must be familiar with what God says.
The second lesson was about wearing the helmet of salvation. Each camper received a knitted winter hat to stress the importance of wearing this armor. Without it, Brian explained, we’re vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks.
The third lesson was about wearing the breastplate of righteousness. Brian explained that this means walking in obedience to God’s Word. Knowing what He says isn’t worth much unless we apply His truth to our lives. Each camper received a tee-shirt as a reminder to be obedient to God in everything.
I believe God’s Word was presented clearly and in a relevant way this week. Several kids placed their saving faith in Jesus Christ. What a joy to see the peace in their eyes and the freedom on their faces. The kids have much to think about and we’re praying that they’ll remember these three simple but life-changing truths.
