"...and who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
We live in a broken world, where truth is no longer held to be absolute and morals don't seem to hold any weight. I feel like I was born in the wrong century, and often wish I could time travel back to a place where people had similar beliefs and values that I hold today. However, that's not possible, and I firmly believe that God has placed me here for a reason. It's all good and well to talk about it, but I actually have to take action if I want to make a difference. My two younger sisters are at Summit for the next two weeks. Summit is a biblical worldview camp that I attended back in 2008. It was an incredible experience that changed the way I look at the world. It opened my eyes to so much going on around me, and I was extremely blessed by my time there. I've been meaning to read and research many things this summer, including law, politics, and history. So, I thought what better time to start than now. My goal is to listen to at least one Summit lecture everyday and read a few chapters of one of the 30+ books I've collected on my night stand (with every intention of reading). That's that, we'll see how it goes!
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." Colossians 2:8
Sound like good goals, Catherine. You're right, we need to be doers and not just hearers or thinkers.
