Message OTM3: "Boot Camp"

When you enlist in the United States Army they send you to boot camp. This is a general training of how to conduct yourself as a member of the army. It is also called ‘basic’ training. You are trained physically and mentally to do the will of the supreme commander. And as Christians there are two specific types of training. There is a general training and there is an individual training. Both of which are ongoing processes actually, for we never really graduate from the school of Christ! Throughout all eternity we will be in the school of Christ and learning and growing in wisdom and knowledge. But the schooling and training for today, known as present truth, is preparation for the final battle. So let’s take a look at the general training or ‘boot camp’ of the Lord’s army.
