The following devotion was originally published in the Hesston Record, July 13, 2016. A few weeks ago, I returned from Jr. Kids Camp at Tabor College. This was a great week of fun and learning for 4 th through 6 th graders.   Our theme this year was “Christ in me.” I loved our theme song by Jeremy Camp.   One of the lyrics says, “ So I will fix my eyes 'Cause you're my source of life.

You Are Not Condemned: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” (Romans 8:1) @JL_Martin  Yesterday at @SDYCJKC a few mods chanted "SC Warriors" for me on Tabor campus to go to lunch quicker. :) @SterlingCLife @TaborCollege If Jesus drank down the cup of God's wrath for sin on the cross, there is no wrath left to pour on sinners who are in Christ. You are free! @ZackJamesCole The gospel is not about what we have done or are called to do, but the announcement of God’s saving work in Jesus Christ. @MichaelHorton_ Will I see...
