Summer Camp 2023 Theme.

Each day, campers will focus on a different piece of the Armor of God. What will your  outfit of the day be?

How does teaching about the Armor of God align with values of peacefulness?


   All throughout scripture we see the authors using analogies and parables to explain components of faith! Armor is something that would have been very familiar to those hearing the original message – pieces of protective gear that have specific purpose. In this case, the message is to be vigilant and aware
of the fact that there is constant, spiritual opposition to us having a relationship with God.
   Armor may have seemingly violent connotations in a worldly sense, but the Armor of God is not protecting us from physical things (see 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 and Ephesians 6:12) or encouraging us to engage in physical battle! The armor is simply six ways, plus prayer, that we can prepare ourselves each
day to resist that opposition and walk like Christ.
   Of the six pieces of armor, five of them are purely defensive: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation.
   The sword of the Spirit is the sixth and only offensive spiritual weapon mentioned – our knowledge of, access to, and use of scripture! The best example of someone using the sword in action is Jesus himself, as he is tempted by Satan in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11). He uses simple words and phrases from
scripture to completely shut down the opposition – a peaceful example of how to resist any conflict or challenge to our faith.
   We want these six components to be part of our Outfit Of The Day every day of our walk with God. Studying the Armor of God prepares us to follow Christ’s example daily – Scripture tells us we are all soldiers in this Spiritual battle, whether we feel it or not. This is how we stay vigilant, stay close with
God, and respond with grace and peace!
