Key verses for the retreat...
John 17:14-19
14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
NKJV
Philippians 3:20
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, NKJV
James 4:4
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. NKJV
The nuts a bolts of the location and activities:
This is were we slept... at night...
Some of us didn't stick to just the beds for sleep...
I just liked this picture because it made me laugh. I couldn't help it I saw this and it made me think of all those lost and blind evolutionist that think a cliff that is "eroding" is evidence for their point of view...
Of course we had to get pictures of each other for my wife...
And a shot of us during song/worship prior to the message...
This is what we (at least the early risers) woke up to on Saturday morning. Isn't God a great artist...
And the verse that most spoke to me and what I am currently struggling with... Actually, I am not sure this is accurate to my specific struggle but it is what is echoing in my ears.
1 Timothy 6:6-9
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. NKJV
(emphasis added)
What I mean by that is simply that I don't care so much about money and possessions but I do find contentment difficult as spoken in:
Philippians 4:11
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: NKJV
1 Timothy 6:6-9
