DRL Ministries - ISU

Well, we got back from Passion 07 late last night/early this morning (1:30am).  The conference was in Atlanta, and you can actually watch the sessions online (I think) for atleast a little while at www.268generation.com.  I would highly, highly recommend it!  Speakers were Louie Giglio, Beth Moore, John Piper, and Francis Chan…all were absolutly fantastic.

I’m still in the process of unpacking everything God did in my soul while in Atlanta, but here are few things God impressed upon me…

• Lots of reasons to LOVE HIM.  I realized how small my love towards God is in light of the gospel (all He’s done for me).  God is so so so worthy of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
• The gospel is more powerful than we think it is.  God’s grace and kindness and love towards us goes deeper than any of us are very comfortable with. 
• Humility is KEY to living a life that magnifies Jesus.  I have to go after this character quality with everything I have.  Pride kills joy and freedom and love…humility cultivates them.
• The aim of Christian worship should be to be made more into the likeness of Jesus through it.
• World missions is about inviting all peoples into the greatest event in the history of the universe - the wedding party in heaven Jesus is throwing for His Bride.
• I can do nothing apart from Jesus…that is why prayer is so important.

I recognize that most (or all) of these points are not necessarily new to you if you’ve been a Christian for any amount of time.  But God opened my heart to receive these truths in a very powerful way this week.  Hope you’ll have a chance to check out some of the sessions online.  And if you went to the conference, please add a comment about your experience!
