I have already mentioned Dr. Jay Richards thoughtful new book Money, Greed and God. Here is a two part interview that he did recently.
What is success? How do you know? When you get to the end of life, what will the measurement be? Jesus told a story once about the nature of success…
13Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” 15Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. 17He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’
18“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ‘
20“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21“This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:13-21)
So, how did Jesus answer? “Being rich toward God.”
Yesterday, I talked about Summit Ministries. Today I want to tell you about another Christian worldview summer camp that is extremely well done and worth the investment for your student at least once during their high school years – Wheatstone Academy.
Here is the promo video:
It is hard to overestimate how important and formative these camps will be in laying a foundation for your child to thoughtfully walk with Jesus Christ for a lifetime and influence others to do the same.
Recently, I posted a story from CNN about atheist camps. But are there any good worldview summer camps for Christians? Absolutely! If thoughtful engagement is what you are looking for from a distinctively Christian, interdisciplinary perspective, then these 2 camps are for you (and I highly recommend them!!!)
The first is Summit.
“Summit Ministries® is an educational Christian ministry whose very existence is a response to our current post-Christian culture. Today, countless Christian youth have fallen victim to the popular ideas of our modern world. Most have adopted these ideas into their own worldview, while still others go on to renounce their Christian faith altogether.
Summit views its role in God’s kingdom as a catalyst to counteract this alarming trend. However, our ultimate goal supersedes simply training. As Christians are challenged to stand strong in their faith and defend truth, they will also be equipped to have a positive influence on the society in which they live.”
Tomorrow, I will blog about another outstanding summer camp to help ground your students in a Christian worldview.
