A Story or a Historical Event?

Posted on Aug 18, 2010 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Webster’s New World Dictionary and Thesaurus defines a ‘story’ as the telling of a happening or connected series of happenings, whether true or fictitious; account; narration. I have noticed that when people are referring to an account in the Bible they normally use the word ‘story’ … “the Creation story”, “the story of Adam and Eve”, “the story of Noah’s ark”, “the story of Jesus”, etc. If...

It was a great week for the AOI Creation Mountain Adventures Family Camp located at the beautiful Redcloud Ranch near Lake City, CO. The people who attended the sessions were eager to learn about creation and study the book of Genesis. Actually, many were so eager that we had to do extra sessions in the evenings. It was not uncommon to teach from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. – Monday thought Thursday. We taught several who were struggling with the idea of a...

Now we’ve done a quick turn-around, adjusting to jetlag, and are currently at AOI’s Creation Mountain Adventure at Redcloud. Teaching in The Netherlands was an interesting cross-cultural experience! Audiences were almost entirely composed of Chinese living in The Netherlands, Belgium, France, or Spain. At the Youth Camp (ages...

The Answer is Back in Genesis

I had another great week at Camp Salvation near Trinidad, CO. The second week I was able to minister to 7th and 8th grade students. I also had the privilege to bunk in a cabin with the boys. This gave me a greater opportunity to get to know them and minister to their spiritual needs. God blessed us with twelve lives given to Christ, three of which were in my cabin. Some of the questions asked were: “Why did Jesus have to die?”; and “Why did God have to...
