Altitude with Attitude (Part Two) Isaiah 40:28-31

While youth prepared for the conference sponsors and counselors met to talk about what to expect from the teens. They made sure they wanted the teens to get closer to God. To come to find out the main speaker wanted something more important and that is to know what Christ did on the cross and how trusting in Him and what He did helps us through our lives if you trust in  Him. This is what amazed wife and I all week is how everything we did focus on what Christ did for us and not what we can do for Christ. Through the themes of each night they took what Christ did and how we can with the help of the Holy Spirit  we can show this love of the cross to our neighbors and friends.
They are a few thing that are very important  no matter if we are speaking to adult or teens about the faith and how to learn more about it.  First, are we using God's Words to teach them, I'm not saying on a piece of paper or up on a monitor. This world has become lazy and reading the word of God has been lacks. More than ever we think we can learn whatever by the internet and only at church. However everywhere we look that is not the case. It was very evident that this conference wanted to get the teen to know the importance of using the Word of God, How this one book will guide us through good times and bad in this world. They started the day out with a quite time with God. You can tell that the majority of the teens at the confernce never took time to learn about God on a personal level. Considering that most had never done this before they made a small devotion which went with the theme of the day. This was a very good way to introduce quite time. It helps when you can merge what your learn at a conference or church with what your learning at home.  Lutherans have lectionaries just for this purpose so who, would like can know what the scripture reading are and can prepare for what Sunday sermon will be about. We that quite time teen prepare to hear the Word and continue the feed of Christ to his sheep.

The Theme verse of this conference came from Isiah 40:28-31
"Do you not know? Have you not hear? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and stumble and fall; but those who hope i the LORD will renew their strength.  They will sore on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
