The Deadly Snake of Technology
Dr. Rosalie De Rosset doesn't mince words. 'We are losing our hearts, minds, and souls to technology.' Dr. Rosset relays the words her students, “It has slithered into our lives like a python, slowly squeezing its prey to death.” Another said, “I believe in 20 years my generation will look back with regret and sadness having wasted years staring at a screen.” Research everywhere indicates the dark consequences of this cultural obsession in every area of life. Leaders in the church must begin a serious conversation about the crucial need to fast from media to assess the extent of its hold and to make necessary changes for mental, social, and spiritual health.

The Summer Camp Experience
Sally Worland is the director of Camp Hidden Hollow in Chickamauga, GA. At the tender age of 14, Sally felt very strongly that the Lord was leading her to start a camp for children. She even had to deal with the nay-sayers in her life, some of whom she greatly respected. This is one of many reasons the summer camp experience is so important. There are kids, teenagers and younger, who already know that the Lord is leading them. They just need a place where they can confirm the direction of their life and learn to hold on to the truth of Luke 1:37, “With God all things are possible.”
