“….Life is a long-term TRAINING camp….”

TRAINING:  Life is a training camp that prepares us for Heaven, or hell.  As children, our parents teach us all the necessities of life; how to eat, right from wrong, integrity, how to clean our room, how to study properly, and how to get along with others.  As youngsters, and teens – educators began filling in the gap from our parents efforts.  Then we began to experience high-school, part-time jobs, and college.  All throughout this process, we have our loving grandparents, family members, boy or girl friends, church leaders, mentors, employers – those who come in from all sides to fill in the gaps of our TRAINING.  Life is a “long-term” training camp.  So, what’s it all about?  Survival?  Careers?  Marriage?  What am I leaving out?  O’I know….GOD!  God has placed us on earth, so that we would Love, Honor, and Adore Him; so that He could enjoy us as His children.  And, all of the trials and
tribulations that we endure are imposed on us, by Him, for us, so that we might be better prepared to fulfill His PLAN for us.  Without this specialized TRAINING, we, by choice and default, are preparing ourselves, for hell.  1^st Corinthians 9:25 tell us that “everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.  They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a preparing crown that will last forever.”  ….Blessings…cjlb…10-17-13
