Paul followed this up, and he wrote to Timothy urging him to keep the commandment without spot and blameless; indeed, he charged him with this in great seriousness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-2-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ\u2019s appearing, 1 Tim. 6:13\u201314).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Timothy is urged to guard what has been committed to his trust, and we know that the apostles often had to fight for the faith that had been entrusted to them, risking their very lives. Within just a few hundred years, Christianity had become a pawn in a political game and a means to power and prestige. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep the message without spot <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When that happens, the power of God\u2019s word is lost, and the commandment is no longer clear and distinct. Nevertheless, throughout history there have been people who have defied the majority and fought to keep the commandment without spot and blameless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2025_sommerstevne_grendefest-12-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147756\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">During the summer conferences in 2025, there were neighborhood get-togethers featuring music and song.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is work we want to continue. It is my heartfelt desire that we build churches where the word of God is the rock. We will keep the message without spot and blameless and proclaim the unadulterated gospel of discipleship and sanctification. This is the underlying theme of our meetings, conferences, and digital content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are You, Lord? \u2013 Easter theme for the youth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The theme we worked on leading up to the youth Easter camp was &#8220;Who are You, Lord?&#8221; For the next generation to know Jesus\u2019 commandments, they must also become familiar with His life and work as a human being. He was a descendant of David and lived a blameless life in obedience to God, facing the same temptations and trials that people face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250415_Paaskecamp_Temakveld-70-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147741\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the Easter camp, the theme for the youth was &#8220;Who are You, Lord?&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer, and also our forerunner and our role model. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and calls us to follow in His footsteps. Seeing young people living a life of faith with Christ, who feel the need to come together for meetings and conferences, and who contribute to the work with children and younger youth\u2014this brings me immense joy and gives me faith in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We can get a new life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can live a seemingly \u201cupstanding\u201d Christian life and be righteous according to the law. Things look good as far as the eye can see, but it is something entirely different to be transformed in our inner being. We can gain new thoughts, a new mindset\u2014yes, a new life. In the Epistle to the Romans, Paul writes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-2-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.&#8221; (Rom. 12:2)&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He goes on to write in the same chapter about not letting ourselves be overcome by evil, but overcoming evil with good. To be equipped for this, we must acknowledge our shortcomings and receive a new mind\u2014the mind of Christ\u2014which longs to be conformed to Jesus. It will be something completely new, and it will be noticeable in our surroundings as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pinsestevne-65-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147761\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Group walk during the 2025 Spring Conference at Brunstad <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New audio and video recordings of several songs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For over 100 years, the songbook <i>Ways of the Lord <\/i>has been a source of encouragement, comfort, and inspiration for those who wish to live a life of discipleship. Although many of the songs and melodies are old, their message remains relevant and important for us to pass on. That is why, through the Hidden Treasures Foundation Publishers, we have begun producing new audio and video recordings of several of the songs. I think many people will find these thought-provoking, and perhaps they will awaken faith in those who long to share in a deeper life with Jesus Christ.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you to everyone who serves in the church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A heartfelt thank you to all of you who have presented yourselves to serve God and who are building up the church where you are. Thank you to everyone who cares for the elderly and the sick, thank you to everyone who devotes their time and energy to making life enjoyable for children and young people, and thank you to all of you who pray for this work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Elders<br><strong>K\u00e5re J.
