Emphasis Preaching Journal

At a summer Bible Camp for junior high school students, the entire class was told that they would be studying the parable of the ten maidens who waited for the bridegroom to arrive. One cabin group had just returned from an overnight. The counselor asked that his group be excused since they were very tired. When he was told that the entire camp was going to have a party after the study, he and his campers asked if they could have their share of the food to take with them. Reluctantly, the refreshments were shared with them. After the Bible study, the tired cabin group reappeared.
