This charge will cover lunch and crafts. The Day Camps will have many adventures for the children to enjoy. They will learn how the Bible answers life’s basic questions: Who made the world? Who am I, and why am I here? Where am I going, and how can I be right with God? Does God keep His promises? The answers are all in the Bible! Exciting Bible lessons, rip-roaring games, lip-smacking-good snacks, eye-popping crafts, fun songs, engaging puppet stories, and skits reinforce the lessons from the Bible. We will be having games, crafts, puppets, Bible stories. We have great things planned for the kids, so please allow your child to join the fun at Anchor Bible Camp. Day camp for kids!
The Only Sure Eternal Hope
The Only Sure Eternal Hope… An Anchor for the Soul… Jesus Christ!
Hope accomplishes for the soul the same thing which an anchor does for a ship. It makes it fast and secure. An anchor preserves a ship when the waves beat and the wind blows; and as long as the anchor holds, so long a ship is safe, and the mariner apprehends no danger. So with the soul of the Christian. In the tempests and trials of life, his mind is calm as long as his hope of heaven is firm. If that gives way, he feels that all is lost. Among the heathen writers, hope is often compared with an anchor. So Socrates said, “To ground hope on a false supposition, is like trusting to a weak anchor.” Again: “A ship ought not to trust to one anchor, nor life to one hope.” – Albert Barnes New Testament Commentary
Both sure and stedfast. Firm and secure. This refers to the anchor. That is fixed in the sand, and the vessel is secure. The Hope of eternal life is here represented as the soul’s anchor; the world is the boisterous, dangerous sea; the Christian course, the voyage; the port, everlasting felicity; and the veil or inner road, the royal dock in which that anchor was cast. The storms of life continue but a short time; the anchor, hope, if fixed by faith in the eternal world, will infallibly prevent all shipwreck; the soul may be strongly tossed by various temptations, but will not drive, because the anchor is in sure ground, and itself is steadfast; it does not drag, and it does not break; faith, like the cable, is the connecting medium between the ship and the anchor, or the soul and its hope of heaven; faith sees the haven, hope desires and anticipates the rest; faith works, and hope holds fast; and, shortly, the soul enters into the haven of eternal repose. – Adam Clark’s Commentary
