MOST people , when they think of something important to them , can express it in a million different ways - and that is me when I think about Flame On . Growing up , I spent at least eight years going to Flame On every year , and the theme was different each year . There were different people and different life situations , but one thing remained : the presence of Jesus . So as I was thinking about what to write and trying to come up with something ‘ sophisticated ’ to write about , God brought my mind to one single word - freedom .
Cambridge Dictionary defines freedom as , “ The condition or right of being able or allowed to do , say , think , etc . whatever you want to ,
|
without being controlled or limited :” ( Cambridge Dictionary , 2022 ).
I believe this is a beautiful expression of what Flame On is like . No one is judged for their past or present situation at this event . Flame On is a place where you can fully embrace who you are - because you truly find yourself in the presence of Jesus . Imagine being in a room full of people who have gone through similar things as you , people who are the same age , with the same goal as you - to meet with Jesus . It is a true demonstration of the unity God created between humans . It is a life-changing experience . Flame On is fun . Flame On is filled with games . Flame On creates great friendships . Flame On is freedom . I believe this is so true about being at Flame On but more importantly , about being with Jesus . This isn ’ t just an event where you can go home and say , “ I went to Flame On ,” but an event where you can go home saying , “ I met with Jesus .”
Flame On , for me , has been a breath of fresh air in my life . It is
|
such an encouragement for my life and a refresher for my relationship with God , and I firmly believe it can be for you as well .
There is so much freedom in
Christ for you .
• Are you ready to grasp this freedom in Christ ?
• Do you know a young person that needs freedom ?
Flame On is the place for any young person . Flame On is a place to meet Jesus . Flame On is the place for you .
Many other leaders and I look forward to seeing you , meeting you , and speaking with you .
Flame On is life-changing - but how will it change your life ?” CMA
