“It’s interesting how people think that what these kids need is our ‘stuff,’ when, in reality, the only thing they need is to be introduced to the Love of God.
Reaction Tour is an opportunity to reach kids at a much higher level than the world is familiar with. What seems like a simple sports camp is an avenue for lives to be changed and reborn, and hearts to be touched like never before!”
—Courtney Copeland

If you’re a born-again child of God, neither do you. But even so, you want to live out the full number of your days on earth. You want to complete the work God has given you to do here so that when you get to heaven Jesus can say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
All of us who love the Lord want to hear those words someday. None of us wants to get to heaven and have God say to us, “Well...?” We don’t want to have to make excuses for why we didn’t complete our assignment. I don’t think they accept excuses up there anyway. So we need to make up our minds on this side of heaven to do what it takes to obey God, and to live long and in good health!
A Bad Day at Black Rock
Proverbs 3:1-2 gives us the key to this. It says: “My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you” ("The Amplified Bible").
This is the way you live a long life and have a happy departure when you leave: You do what God says. You keep His Word. That’s pretty simple, isn’t it? As believers, we ought not to have to attend a lot of seminars to get hold of it. We should just open our Bible every day, study it, be strengthened in our faith and find out how God wants us to live. We should start our day with His Word and act on it all day long. Personally, I don’t let a day go by without spending time in the Word. I think it’s the most important thing I have to do.
