Charting Talks (Update)

Thank you for praying! The last two talks on the Life of Moses went pretty well. In the first one, I felt really nervous, but in the second one, today, went better.

The first talk was about how people look at the question of who controls their life: some say themselves; some say luck; and some say there's a greater plan beyond themselves. We used the phrases "solo," "go with the flow," and "it's God, yo!" to help remember these points of view.

The second talk was about how going "solo" is problematic if God actually exists. I pulled in the idea of what Sin is-- doing something your way instead of God's way. The text of Exodus was a picture of Moses going "solo" by killing the Egyptian, doing it his way instead of God's.

Praise God for attentive campers. May the Lord use his word to work in their lives.
