RBR Young Adults
RBR Young Adults Bible Study ... most every Friday. For serious Bible Study and Fellowship. They are doing a study on the book of Mark in the New Testament. About the right size group for a study of this nature. I have to admit... I would love to be there as well... But these young men and women are taking the reins... and mean business. Successfully "Handing off the baton"
Really Cool
You know what is really cool? For right around 16 or 17 years Legacy III has met in downtown Rapid City. We have been blessed by the folks at @Alternative Fuel Coffee shop for a meeting place at the very pleasant Main Street Square Downtown Rapid City . We are grateful.
Revival and Rain
A very special time at our event today. Took time to break into small groups and pray for revival and rain. These men are to be commended for their attendance.
When a Moment Becomes a Memory
For years I have enjoyed taking little brothers and sisters into the arena during our rodeo. I ride along the fence and as I approach, I say, "Raise your right arm up high'.... and just like in the movies I sweep them off the fence and give them a chance to be center stage and in the limelight. They compete in the race as we ride down to the calf or the goat and do what needs to be done. The audience cheers and the moment becomes a memory for this little cowgirl or cowboy. Needless to say... "I love what I do!"
God is not Done
The date above will truly be remembered by many. A day that was a tragedy that begged for triumph. A day that some wished would have brought America to her knees in defeat. And yes, Americans did bow for a time realizing how finite we are. Sadly, that time of searching for hope and answers lasted for a short while. The statement, “We will never forget” rings more like a gong than the clear voice of hope. I believe we as a country are more enchained than perhaps any time in our history of 250 years. Arrogance and greed have set us on a path away from God and biblical principle. It is often argued that America may or may not be a Christian country. I will say that throughout our history, much of our moral standard fit within biblical principle and I think there is evidence that God has blessed our nation abundantly. I am reminded in history that many countries and kingdoms have fallen from within first before they fell to another power or empire. Few would argue that the foundation of this country has not been shaken. Humility and meekness are no longer virtues within the fabric of this country. Is there hope? Only if we hearken to our national motto… In God We trust. The attitude that is displayed today hardly fits within that framework. And that is the case in our society from the halls of power where government leaders dwell… to the everyday workaday world… to the time that we spend in leisure … into our classrooms…. Into the dwellings that were once home… and even into the places of religion. Be assured that there is still a faithful remnant… God is not done… and to each one of us that adhere to His Word … may we be found faithful to the end. That is our calling… and let the passion of the call be evident to all around us.
What State Will Be Next
We end up with campers each year from 20 to 25 different states. This is the start for the 2027 season... Which state will be next?
FAMILY... Thoughts from Robin... September 2016
Just the word itself stirs up feelings of warmth, security and comfort. These thoughts were driven even deeper into my heart this fall as our family encircled the casket of my Dad, preparing to lower his earthly body into the very soil that had claimed his blood, sweat and tears over the years. At times like these, nothing compares to the love, support and camaraderie that has flowed through our veins, built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.
I realize that not everyone shares the same sentiments of family. Everywhere you look, there is brokenness, bitterness and resentment within the very structure that God designed to be a fortress and anchor. For thousands of years, the enemy of Christ's kingdom has been waging war against the family, because he knows that tearing down this God-created institution is a powerful weapon. The Bible tells us that Satan "comes only to steal and kill and destroy" (John 10:10). It seems that his fiery darts aimed at families have multiplied in our generation.
There are a couple of thoughts I want to share with you on this. First, no family is immune to breakdown. Even the strongest families are vulnerable. Scripture warns, "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (1 Corinthians 10:12).
Secondly, it's never too late to work on family relationships. Don't listen to the lie that your family is too far gone to be restored, "for with God nothing will be impossible" (Luke 1:37). Friend, healing, restoration and rebuilding can happen, and it begins with prayer and living the principles of God's Word.
“Lord, we need Your help, Your strength and Your wisdom. Put a hedge of protection around our families, and help us to put Your Word into practice in our lives….
“May we ‘put on the full armor of God so that (we) can take (our) stand against the devil’s schemes’ (Eph. 6:11).
“May we ‘love one another deeply from the heart’ (1 Peter 1:22).
“May we ‘be devoted to one another in brotherly love...and honor one another above ourselves’ (Romans 12:10).
“May we ‘be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave (us)’” (Eph. 4:32).
“May we ‘guard what has been entrusted to (our) care’ (1 Tim. 6:20).”
Is there a relationship in your circle that is flailing, going in a downward spiral? Your marriage? Your children? Your parents? Your siblings? Friend, seek help from a Godly, Biblical perspective. Sure, it’s hard work, but that relationship is a gift from God, and He is for you! It’s not too late! Hold on! Don’t give up! Fight for it...because it’s worth fighting for!
Legacy Ride with Molly and Pumpkin
"REFLECTIONS"
Legacy II Ride... The year was 2002 and yes this would have been Molly's first long ride with me.. She has always been a cowgirl.... Taking a break with our wonderful partners... Pumpkin and Trigger. Pretty cool pic... Another note... All of the Reinhold Six spent time on Pumpkin.
Lucas and Melinda
The year was 2002 and Lucas and Melinda were on staff at Rainbow Bible Ranch. What is pretty cool... these former staff members were later married and last night we had the privilege of having our families sit together and watch one of their sons play football in Rapid City. In fact all three of their children have been camper here... just like their parents and their oldest son has also been on staff. That is Legacy ... To God be the Glory
