God Loves You and Me Uniquely, But We’re Not the G.O.A.T

What is the difference between Christian individuality and godless individualism? You are uniquely valued by God for who you are! God made you unique for your own particular purpose, and He values how He designed you! We don’t make the rules and it’s not all about us, it’s about Him. Because He values us and loves us, we are free!

With a country divided, the Republican risk and morality being redefined, it’s time to gather round a camp fire, get back to basics, and spark the revival that this country so desperately needs.
This is the American Camp Fire revival with Cook Cameron.
We’re continuing to go through the American covenant, the untold story.
And, uh, we’ve been talking about liberty. We’ve been talking about freedom.
And and what it takes to produce freedom and how god has has been on a mission to bring freedom to man kind since the very beginning with Adam and Eve and went through Adam, Noah, and Abraham.
We talked about the Roman Empire and the in the Greek empire, And we talked about how god values individual people, not just you being one little cog in a machine, and all that matters is the way that Godless people value of of you, man, which is just you’re just one little threat on the fabric.
And if you go away or you die, It doesn’t really matter anyway.
The evolutionary world view says you’re just an evolved overarching, uh, worm that climbed up out of the out of the the the soup and and if you if you get extinguished, that doesn’t really matter.
Uh, everything still goes on as though you were never even really here. God doesn’t see you that way.
He doesn’t see me that way. He doesn’t see our family that way.
And when we are families on mission to accomplish god’s purposes, we can change the world.
That’s what we’re talking about. And we’re talking about the covenant, that sacred promise that our forefathers made with god, believing that if we would honor the lord, he will protect us and bless us to a 1000 generations, and our children will experience freedom.
So in the lesson that I’ve been reading and studying today in the American covenant, we’re coming to this this this concept of internal liberty and external freedom.
We touched on it yesterday, but but here’s the concept.
And I’ve really been been been digging down and and meditating on this today.
The o the secret to a free country And by the way, you know, I’m reading articles in in the news and people are sending me stuff.
Like, so and so just got censored. So and so just got banned. So and so just got canceled.
So and so just got deleted. So and so just got got removed, and they can’t speak anymore.
And it seems like if you’re if you’re not woke enough, you don’t have the freedom to even speak anymore.
So I I I don’t wanna get deep into that, but but I do wanna say that you and I want the freedom to speak, the freedom to think, the freedom to worship god according to the dictates of our conscience where we want our children to grow up, understanding the blessing of liberty.
What’s the secret to it?
Well, the secret to a free nation is having the people experience liberty in their own heart.
This is the message that Jesus came to bring.
Jesus came to set the captives free when we talked last night about the story about how Shepherd who has a 100 sheep and one gets lost, he leaves the 99 and goes after the 1 because he values the individual, not just the mass, but the individual uniquely cares for that one that he created.
And that’s how he cares about you and me as well.
And the way to have a free nation is to have people who are individually set free in their heart from their own demons and snakes in their head and and and devils in their heart that caused them to be self and prideful and wanna take advantage of other people and be all about themselves once we’re set free from that.
Now I’m free to love my wife.
Now I’m free to parent my children, where it’s not all about what they do for me, but about what they need me to do for them.
It’s now not about what can god give me, but what how can I give my life to serve god?
Once I’m free in in an individual way and you’re free, we now begin to Set the stage for an entire nation to be free in its forms of government and its economy in the way that we teach our children, and we’re not gonna be a government, uh, that is canceling and deleting and censoring and shutting down and taking away from citizens and individuals because we’ve been free internal.
So so that’s the key that Jesus revealed when he came is that the secret to to external now liberty.
If we wanna be a country that remains free, we it starts with freedom in my heart to love god with all my heart and soul and to love my neighbor because I’m no longer trapped in the prison of me and it’s all about me and it’s what I want and how I feel and my rights.
No. I was set free from that prison.
And now I’m free to love my neighbor and consider my neighbor more important than myself.
And I wanna honor god and I’m here to serve him and his purposes.
And that results in blessing for everybody.
2nd concept in the in in the study here is this I is idea that there is a great big difference between Christian individuality and and godless individualism.
So god loves the individual. We’ve been talking about that.
And what that means is you are uniquely valued by god for who you are.
You don’t need to look like anybody else. You don’t need to sound like anybody else.
You don’t need to have the money of anybody else or have the talent of anybody else.
God made you unique for your own particular purpose.
And when you understand your gifts and your talents, and you submit yourself to god.
Personally, god will use you in a unique way to bring blessing to the world, to bring heaven, to earth.
That’s Christian individuality. You’re not just a cookie cutter sample.
Like everybody else, an anonymous grain of sand in the desert. That’s not you. You’re unique.
But that is not the same as godless individualism, which is what a lot of people are into today.
Because they don’t know god, they think it’s all about me. I’m an individual.
It’s all about what I want, what I think, what I feel. It’s my body. It’s my choice.
It’s nobody controls me. Doesn’t matter about anybody else because I’m the goat.
You’re not the goat. He’s the goat. I’m not the goat.
You’re not the goat. Alright.
For for those who are wondering what the goat is greatest of all time.
That’s the acronym for greatest of all time.
Godless individualism, down with that up with Christian individuality.
It’s not all about me. It’s not all about you.
It’s all about the god of heaven who made us so uniquely and values you the way he designed you that you can serve your neighbor.
And you can honor god uniquely with your gifts and talents.
In the unique place he’s placed you in your world at your school, in your home, in your workplace and in your nation, and god sees it, and he values it.
And it counts and it matters.
Not the same as someone who thinks This world revolves around me, and I get to make the rules.
No. You don’t. The almighty makes the rules, and he has 2 rules 2 laws, 2 commands.
We don’t need 52 executive orders in the 1st 3 weeks to fix everything.
We’ve already been given 2 executive orders from on high.
Love god with all your heart and love your neighbors yourself.
If we can be set free to do that as individuals, we don’t need any other orders That covers it all.
It sets us free in our hearts, in our homes, in our churches, in our schools, and it sets us free as a nation.
And maybe we could be that nation that helps to set the whole world free.
It starts with you. It starts with me, and it starts with having a plan.
Thank you for joining us again.
The whole point is we want this campfire to, uh, to spread.
We want the fires of revival to spread. From us to our neighbors.
We want it to be like a like a grass fire that just moves across the entire nation.
If your heart and your home catches the fire of revival, people will notice.
Let them know that you got a plan. You’re not planless. You’re not hopeless.
You’re faithful, and you’re confident that god is up to to something important. God bless you guys.
