BRUCE CAMP, one we will always remember.
This past weekend we saw a great fan count, great car count and some close racing action. But it also came with a heavy heart. As many of you have already heard Bruce Camp passed away Saturday morning. Bruce has been race director at many of our local tracks such as Cherokee, Carolina, Harris and others. He has been race director for several of the touring series. He was race director at East Lincoln this year. Bruce was a joy to be around and a good friend. He will be missed. Please keep his family in prayer as they work through this time. As I put Saturday's scripture together I look back at how fitting it is. In making my prayer rounds Saturday I talked with others facing life challenges. From the side effects of the flu, severe cancer, to grieving over a loss of a loved one a lot is going on in our racing family. It's a fight to keep going. Saturday's scripture was from 1 Timothy 6:12 which says.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
What are you fighting for? Life is a journey of faith. We have faith in something or someone. Whatever or whoever that is is what you give your all to. The word fight here is not a fist to fist or person to person fight. The word fight in this verse is used to mean effort, commitment, endurance. It means you don't give up, you keep going. We fight for a lot of things. A better life, better job, more money, ect. We push ourselves to the max to get the best if life. But what about your faith in Jesus? Do you think about that kind of faith? Do you fight to keep your faith in Jesus or is spiritual faith even a concern? We are surrounded by so much false truth, false teachings and false beliefs that we are pushed to center on ourselves not Jesus. The faith journey in Jesus is hard, it can be messy and challenging. We fight against our sinful nature and if we start living for Jesus the enemy attacks us to discourage us. But the Bible is our help, it's our encouragement. The Bible gives us truth, blessings, promises and more we can believe in. One thing it says that no one can disagree with is we all will face death. We don't know our time, our day or year but it will happen. Most likely when we least expect it. Everything we accomplish, achieve, or accumulate will be worth nothing at our last breath. We can life live to what we want and at the last breath all we have accumulated means nothing. The things we work for will be given away, sold, spent or forgotten. But the moment you breathe your last breath your faith means more than any amount of possessions, or any amount of money. Giving your life to Jesus and following him the rest of your life is your faith journey. Our fight should be for our faith in Jesus. We live in a world of distraction. So many things try for our attention. We think we have plenty of time. Our trusting Jesus with our life and committing to him will truly be worth it the moment we take our 1st breathe in eternity. Now is the time to make that decision. As we travel through this life on our faith journey it gets us ready for the next season of life. Eternity. We struggle with the question why? Why cancer, why disease, why hurting, violence, etc.? We may not get an answer for all our why's. One reason is we live in a broken world. Sin came in many years ago and everything has been effected by it. It will continue to be effected until Jesus returns. One day Jesus will make the heavens and earth new again, in that day we don't have to worry about sin, death, or sickness. But until that day we fight the good fight of the faith. We pray, we read God's word, we repeat. We live our faith journey waiting for Jesus to come get us. Jesus can come back at any moment, your life may end just as quick. Fight for your faith in Jesus. If you have never asked Jesus to forgive you and save you from your sins your faith journey has not started. Let today be the day
Rember to pray for the camp family.
Finish Strong
