Well here I am entering the social networking world with my first blog. I tend to embrace new technology slowly and I’m still asking if all this is really necessary.
One of the images that returns to my mind often is the joy of sitting in a circle with a group of campers discussing a Bible passage or some topic of life in Christ. That’s fellowship! Face to face interaction and discussion can be so rich. But here in 2010 we also have many new ways of communicating, which in the proper quantity and context can be good. So, here I go.
For my first blog, I want to share a bit about a theme we will pursue at WCRC for 2010. It comes from James 4:8 which says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” The theme is simply titled Draw Near.
There are many ways for us to draw near to God, and there are, no doubt, many benefits from having Him draw near to us. I hope to discover both by pursuing this theme. The benefit that initially attracts me to this passage, however, is joy. Psalm 16:11 says, “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” That’s a no-brainer. I want joy, and this passage says that I can find it in His presence.
Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center is a place that is designed to help people draw near to God. In 2010, as an organization, we will be looking at things we can do to help our guests and campers and staff Draw Near to God. The promise is there. If we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us!
Consider joining us in this pursuit. It’s a promise that’s too good to pass up.
May the Lord bless you as you seek to know Him better in 2010.
