No one is righteous—not even one.

No one is truly wise,

No one is seeking God.

All have turned away;

All have become useless.

No one does good,

Not a single one.

Madison scribbled a note on her pad and handed it to me.

NO ONE?

I took my pen and scribbled under it.

YEP.

Then, Pastor Bo went on to tell a story about when he was in fourth grade and he decided he was tired of doing his math homework. Each day he tore out the page from the workbook, shoved it way back in his desk, and told his mom that he finished his work in class and didn’t have homework.

“It worked for a few weeks, or so I thought,” Bo said. “But then, guess what happened? It was time for my parent/teacher conference, and I was invited to come along. And during that conference, my teacher told me that she hadn’t received any math work from me in a long time. I acted surprised and assured her I had been turning it in. She didn’t come right out and accuse me of lying, but she did ask if maybe instead of turning it in I had left it in my desk instead. ‘May I take a look?’ she asked.”

A collective groan sounded from the whole kids’ camp.

“Yeah, so you know what happened next, right? She starts pulling out all my papers! They were smashed and some were folded up all accordion-like since they were stuffed back there so tight for so long.”

“Busted!” some boy yelled from the crowd.

Pastor Bo frowned. “Yeah, I was caught. And then came the consequences. For six weeks, I had to go straight home from school, do my homework for the day, and then I had to work on all my past-due math pages. I even had to stay home on the weekends! No friend time, no TV, no parties, nothing. Not until I paid for my wrongdoing and got those math pages caught up. It was the longest six weeks of my life!”

“You shouldn’t have done it,” some girl yelled out.

Pastor Bo laughed. “You’re right. I was sure a fool to think I could hide all that and no one would find out. But I learned my lesson, and thankfully, I could make it all up and get back on the right track. And I didn’t end up flunking fourth grade math either.”

“Good job, Bo!” That was Hunter again.

“But, friends, the dirt in our hearts that God calls sin has a much bigger consequence than I suffered when I hid my fourth-grade math papers. The Bible says that this sin separates us from God because God is Holy and he can’t be in the presence of sin.”

Madison’s chin sank even lower now. She was staring at her feet.

Pastor Bo asked us to look up Romans 3:23 in our Bibles and asked someone to read it out loud.

Parker offered.

“For everyone has sinned. We all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”

Madison glanced up for a moment to look at Parker, and I watched as their eyes met.
