A Stable Spirit in an Unstable World
Remaining rooted when circumstances change
Core Scriptures (KJV)
Psalm 1:1–3
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Colossians 2:6–7
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.”

- Stability comes from deep roots, not perfect conditions.
- CrossCamp needs pillars whose commitment is not controlled by convenience.
