“the bible …
god’s compass for life”
Being the leaders God desires men to be requires much wisdom. Together as father and son, learn more about how the Bible is God’s source of wisdom and His compass for our lives. As leaders in the home, the church, and the community, Christian men must know God’s sufficient Word and know how to apply it in every area of life. Come and become better equipped to do so, and to enjoy wonderful time together in the Cascade Mountains.

... On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;
for bodily discipline is only of little profit,
but godliness is profitable for all things,
since it holds promise for the present life
and also for the life to come …
