Well, our little family packed up once again this last weekend and headed off to Ridgecrest Christian Convention Centre at Burrendong Dam. We had a great time looking at the Cross of Christ...What God wanted it to mean and what it SHOULD mean to us!
We were reminded of the fact that God doesn't like us rejecting him (and that's what sin is), that this makes him angry. We were also reminded that we are unable to subdue God's wrath by anything that we do or say...only God can thwart God's wrath. This is why Jesus was sent to earth (and I say THANK YOU) so that people could be acceptable to God, and therefore accepted into heaven, not just because of Jesus' death and resurrection but through peoples faith in God and acceptance of this exact event. That's right, Jesus' death wasn't an Amnesty where sins aren't actually paid for but, rather, a substitution of the penalty. How amazing is it that God would take on ALL of EVERYONE's sin so that people could know him???!!!
So that's the amazing stuff I learnt about...
We also had some non-teaching time stuff over the weekend. There was a bushdance on the Saturday night with a dress-up theme of pre-1900's. Most people dressed up which was great seeing that we only had a week & a half's notice. I managed to create a dinasaur costume for Caleb...it was really cute except he didn't want to wear it! Hamish went as Baby Jesus (so easy!!!), Chris went as a golfer from the 1800's and I went as an alien...after all, who knows what Alien's wore before the 20th Century???!!!
If you want to look at some picks you can on my facebook page either here or here.
Although I came home pretty tired, I also came home happy...it's a great time when you can get together with a whole big bunch of people and get to know them better...good times!
