Class taught at kid's camp

We have different areas in our lives.  We have our home part, we have school and friends, sports, hobbies and then God and church stuff. We realize that God needs to be the biggest part of our lives.  That can seem a little crazy since we aren't in  church as long as we are in school.  WE don't pray as long as we watch TV. That seems really tough, and it is. In fact it is not even what God really wants.  He wants more than anything a relationship with you. Relationship means there is interaction - friendship.  God doesn't want to be the biggest part of your life. He wants to be in every part of your life. He wants to interact with every part.  He wants to change the color of every part through relationship.

The number one reason for your relationship with Christ is your relationship with Christ. He saved you to have a relationship with you most of all.

We can get caught up with just going to church or being on a JBQ team or Royal Rangers that some times we forget about our heart.   Oh yes, we gave our hearts to Jesus, but we let only a part have any relationship to him.  Jesus said the greatest command is to love the Lord your God with all your heart.  Having your heart right is all that God wants from you.
