Cabin Life: Each cabin has a community surrounding it. Inside is for family and friends. But people also find a deep bond with their neighbors up north. During the year, there is no time for this kind of bonding, but at the cabin, our definition of family grows.

Romans Life: Paul helps us understand how we find salvation. He also reminds us that salvation is not just for us. All creation pays the price of Adam’s sin. Thankfully, all creation receives God’s grace through one man

Cabin Life: When people first started building cabins, the point was to get away into the wilderness. Today, in some places, so many cabins have been built that it no longer feels like the wilderness. Sometimes, it can leave people asking, “What’s the point?” When up north feels like our home in the city.

Romans Life: As Paul attempts to teach these believers that the Law no longer has power, many openly wonder, “What was the point of the Law?” Jewish believers have spent thousands of years being trained in the Law. So Paul seeks to clarify. The Law cannot save you, but it can still reveal what is good and what is God’s will for you.

Cabin Life: The older we get, the less we treat the cabin as an adventure. We’ve built up routines, patterns, practices. All the tourist spots have been visited enough times that they no longer capture our attention. That is why we need to bring children into the cabin life. They love to explore things that have lost interest for us a long time ago.

Romans Life: Similarly, we can lose perspective on faith. We build up routines, patterns, and practices that we mistake for living freely in God. We need to read Romans 8 to be reminded that God sends us the Holy Spirit daily. This Spirit frees us to explore new ways to love and serve God.
