Confirmation Thoughts

0

This Sunday is Confirmation Sunday.  I often get the question – what in the world IS Confirmation?  At Covenant Grove, Confirmation is a time for our 7th and 8th grader to take a deeper step of discipleship for Christ.  They do not have to take that deeper step, and it does not replace Youth Group or service on Sunday.  It is focused on developing the right HABITS – sermon notes, reading the Bible, reading a book, and more.  They also write a paper about what it means to be a Christian, and who Jesus is.  It is a time of learning, but even more it is a time to have the right routine in life.  And in the end, those who make it through Confirmation come out much, much stronger – because they have made the choice to take their faith to another level.
So, in a nutshell, we ALL need to do something like Confirmation.  We all need to go beyond the “programs” of Sunday morning, or even Life Groups – as great as those are.  We need to have times where there is no appointment – just time with Jesus.  Time to pray, to read, to study, to stop and think.  These needs to be habits – routines that shape our lives.  We can stop when the world is running – and find peace.
