Post Passion '07

What a conference! I definitely feel closer to God since it. I just want to keep that going now, and stay in His will. Another thing that the conference has impressed upon me is the need to witness to the lost. I think we as Christians take for granted our great gift from God, and we forget the Great Commission. One of the speakers, Louie Giglio, spoke on exactly that. Christ left us with one very specific instruction to carry out until His return---GO! Louie even chided churches for how they consider inviting a missionary to the church and taking up a love offering at the end of service to be true witnessing. But, Jesus called us ALL as individuals to do our part in furthering the kingdom. Louie said something else very important. God doesn't NEED us to carry this out. God will do what He set out to do even if the rocks have to proclaim the matchless name of Christ. But how sad for us to go to Heaven someday and not be a part of the greatest party in the universe. How much better to arrive and have God introduce you to people for whom you had a part in witnessing. Wow! What a day that will be!
