Prayer: Good and Gracious God we thank you for all you have given us. Help us use what we have learned about you to live a life of faith. Help us teach others the scriptures and to follow you. Give us wisdom to live a life of ministry that is uplifting and encouraging. Amen.
Reading: 2 Timothy 3:14- 4:5 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: As I read this scripture I thought back to my younger days. My parents were extremely faithful in making sure we got to church and Sunday School. They were an example of faithful living and serving. I now use everything I learned growing up in my ministry. I try to be an example of faithful living for others around me, especially the youngsters at church. I know how busy lives get so I try to teach the scriptures to the younger ones through fun activities at church, so they have the foundation of faith when they get to high school when they have less time for church activities. I firmly believe that we must reach them when they are young because there are so many things in the world competing for their time. If we have a foundation of faith it will help us navigate through the times when we struggle. May your faith help you be an example of love and generosity to others. --Charlene Rineer
