*Ok.. since yur nail'n away let me describe the hammer as a tool and
the building we working on<G>
Excuse me right now if I come on a little strong...I know I have a way
with raise'n dander and causeing a frackus the big house<G>
We *ain't about "building committed MEN!"
We ain't about providing "godly male role models for boys to admire"
*Those 'things" have their place... for everything has a time and purpose
under heaven<G>
*But the mission priority is the BOYS!
*Reach the boys..
*Teach the boys...
so that we may *KEEP the boys-
For Christ!
The "tools" we use to "drive the nail home is the *Program being
developed right now... and the project that we are "nailing together"
is a future man of character and virtue, with a heart for God!
*It don't matter what we used to call it!
*It don't mater who invented it!
The perception of people being "un-willing" to teach is a matter of
leadership presentation and salesmanship<G> The fact is- when
all the cards are laid out... only what we do for Jesus counts!
We say these words: "I led 17 boys to Christ last year"
But we know that it is the Holy Spirit that "draws" and it is the
individual that "accepts" and it is the promise of the Lord to "give or
grant" eternal life!
*What part of that involved us?
-------------------------------
We told the gospel story, over and over...
We studied the word and read the promises..
We allowed the Holy Spirit to work..
We shared fellowship and our testimony,
and that built MORALE and desire in the boys to-
*Accept-*Beleve- and *Confess Christ as Savior!
In retro-spect..... isn't the same framework how we learn
with our hands? We use the 'receivers of learning as described
in the LTC to gain understanding and then test out or new skills
in life! We don't build real homes with Commander holding the hammer
steady or setting each nail! In REAL life we wack our thumb!
Character is how you deal with that moment<G>
Teaching or Leading is really.... *presenting choices, and encouraging
the timid to try something new<G> Try setting the nail, and wacking it with
a solid hit! *Come-on son YOU CAN DO IT!
The Bible says that there is *Nothing new under the sun!
The Old program was vintage!
The Gold Track was GREAT!
The New program is the future!
*I'm packing my camp and moving over the river!<G>
It's green and growing over there!
