Pastor’s Pen

Beloved, we just returned back from our annual Youth retreat. Once again, we ventured to the HEB Camp and had a great time of relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation in the Lord. Our theme for this year’s retreat was Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.”
 This morning we will look over the study that I presented to the Youth and Counselors at the retreat. We will study how not to trust in the Lord and how to trust in the Lord. Beloved, God wants us to trust Him. Unfortunately we often go through life trusting everything and everyone else except the Lord.
 Hopefully as we look at a couple of characters from Scripture we will learn that we can trust God at His Word. As Peter said in John 6:66–69, “After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
 Indeed, Jesus has the words of eternal life!

Blessings-
