Northern Grace Youth Camp

“and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,” (Romans 2:19 NKJV) At camp for Quizzo we try to make the questions about the large ideas and not just the tiny trivia. In...

“Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,” (Romans 2:17 NKJV) We make no assumptions at camp about who has trusted Christ for salvation. Even campers who have grown up in a Christian home and attended church their whole life may not understand the gospel. Th...

“in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.” (Romans 2:16 NKJV) There is not much privacy at camp. Staying a cabin with ten other people and sharing a bathroom doesn’t leave room for many secrets. Still, our thoughts and our feelings are our own. Whil...

“who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)” (Romans 2:15 NKJV) Sometimes when someone does something wrong at camp, it seems we will never find out who did it. Ho...

“(for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;” (Romans 2:13 NKJV) The last couple years at camp there has been a great enthusiasm for reading God’s word. It i...

“For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law” (Romans 2:12 NKJV) A few weeks ago we talked about people who give the excuse “Well, we didn’t know!” There are a lot of things our camp rules don’t cover. It d...

“For there is no partiality with God.” (Romans 2:11 NKJV) If you read yesterday’s devotion, you understand what this verse means for today. However, today’s verse was a lot more difficult at the time Paul wrote it. For ne...

“but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” (Romans 2:10 NKJV) At camp, there are sometimes campers upset about the cabin cleanup judging. A staff person judges each cabin each day after their cabin cleanup time. We...

“tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;” (Romans 2:9 NKJV) It’s sometimes hard not to show partiality as a camp director. My own kids live at camp all summer and some weeks they are even campers. We a...

“but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness——indignation and wrath,” (Romans 2:8 NKJV) Over the years as director of NGYC I have found an essential quality that I look for in staff and counselors. Bible ...

“eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;” (Romans 2:7 NKJV) A little religion is a dangerous thing. We have campers from all different backgrounds. Th...

“who “will render to each one according to his deeds”:” (Romans 2:6 NKJV) At camp sometimes kids will say as an excuse “We didn’t know that!” The response is usually “then you weren’t listening when you were supposed to.” Adults learn that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” When we plea...
