Today was Day 1 of my church's
Big Apple Adventure,
Lifeway's Vacation Bible School. Our theme is New York City, the "Big Apple." The VBS is called Big Apple Adventure: Where Faith and Life Connect. The focus this year is on
practically connecting faith and life. We're trying to teach the kids that faith is not something that's reserved for church buildings only. It must collide with life. True faith is something that must be a part of every component of everyday life; it must impact and influence daily decisions and choices. It has to leave the church buildings and enter the schools and the homes and the shopping malls and grocery stores.
So this week, as the faithful volunteers at our church give up their time to share the gospel with the kids of our community, I'd encourage you to think about the practical connection of faith and life. And while you're thinking about that, here's our theme verse this week:
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)
