hey guys! i just got back from my church camp. ROOTED. i learnt a lot. so i'll just post a little of it each time.

this was my camp verse:
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith just as you were taught, overflowing with thankfulness" Colossians 2:6-7

When we receive Christ Jesus as Lord, we believe in Him, the this belief comes from FAITH. that's what christian life is all about. Faith. And when we start believing, dont stop. continue growing.

rooted and built up in Him. that's how we live by faith. Think yourself as a tree. As you grow taller, you need firmer foundation dont you? yes you do. using my literary skills, there's a juxtaposition here. Roots grow downwards, at the same time you being built UP. =D

Roots grow underground. We cant see them but it's evident on their leaves. Roots at dont get enough water and mineral ions from the soil will soon wither and die. their leaves will turn brown and fall off. they wont produce fruits. but if they do, they will have healthy green leaveS and yummy juicy fleshy fruits. Similarly, many things that we do that others dont really see are actually very impt to our christian life. Such as prayer, QT, and maybe tithing which is a test of our faith. It you dont take care of our roots, we'll drift away spiritually and morally. even if we still look good on the outside, we'll soon collapse ):

so come on my fellows, lets get ROOTED in God right now. Let these roots hold us firm in Him despite whatever lifen throws at us. Draw strength and love and all the nutrients we need from Him. Then thank Him for providing(:

i know my post is kinda messy but i hope you get it (:
