IT’S CAMP TIME!
Please pray tonight and all this week for camp.

17 “from faith to faith.” Our whole life is to be a life of faith. From the commentary Romans by David Cloud:
- We are saved by faith (Eph. 2:8-9). We are justified by faith (Ro. 3:28; Gal. 3:24). We have access to God by faith (Ro. 5:2). We have the righteousness of God by faith (Ro. 3:22; Php. 3:9). Our hearts are purified by faith (Ac. 15:9). We stand by faith (2 Co. 1:24). We walk by faith (2 Co. 5:7). Christ dwells in the heart by faith (Eph. 3:17). We wait for the promise of the resurrection by faith (Gal. 5:5). We live by faith (Heb. 10:38). We are sanctified by faith (Ac. 26;18). “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Gal. 2:20
