By Design

As Christians, we know that everything in this world is by God's design. Nothing is outside of His will or takes Him by surprise.


Praise the Lord! After months of planning and prayerful consideration, it's finally here. Pioneer Camp & Retreat Center is pleased to announce the launch of our very new website! It's been a long process (and a few areas are still under construction; for instance, the 'Register Online' feature is not functioning just yet), but we decided to publish the new website online and allow all of you to weigh in. So, please feel free to tell your family, your friends, your church, your youth group, and by all means send me an email (jeff.radt@pioneercamp.com) and let us know what you think.

Confirmand Camp: A Tradition Continues!

We've all been to Walmart at one time or another right? I am there more often than I care to admit, but I had a great "camp moment" there a few months ago.


Inheritance And Blessings

Throughout recorded history, people of biblical faith, who believe in Jesus Christ, have recognized that life's journey has more to do with God's redemptive plan for us than about the circumstances or plight of our own human condition.


The biblical concept of inheritance, although symbolically tied to land, was really about God's presence among His creation and His plan to save mankind, the crown of creation, for an eternal relationship with Himself. The psalmist exclaimed more than once that the hidden truth in inheritance is God in Christ.


A review of the historical and cultural reality of wealth, as modern day symbols of value, betrays the various forms of importance in our lives, even idolatry. For where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. Does all this mean that passing our property and wealth to our family is against God's will in the landscape of today's church?

We Can Still Know, Without The Snow

One of my favorite verses in the entire Bible is Romans 1:20 that says, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

In that one verse, we learn that God cares for us so deeply that He has revealed Himself not only through His Word as found in the Holy Bible, but through His creation, or in such a way that transcends any kind of cultural and language barriers.
