Well, this weekend was amazing. We were at my assembly's sister church, Keystone Bible Chapel for the annual Fall Bible Conference. Scott DeGroff and Jamie Hull were the speakers. Now, don't get me wrong, Jamie Hull was awesome, and had one of the most encouraging messages I've heard in a while. However, Scott DeGroff blew my socks off! Literally, I have no socks on right now.
Scott spoke passionately and eloquently on the message of Romans to the Christian in today's church. Many points were flying, including the idea of impending wrath, sin for the Christian and non-Christian, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and most importantly, the calling of the Saints to testifying of the Gospel message. Praise the Lord!
I am so thankful for the types of concepts and studies the Lord has been sending to me through the Holy Spirit and ministries of various individuals lately. Everything seems completely wrapped up in one ideological summation. The Church is called to testify of the Gospel, but we've lost our way. Various things are hindering us, whether it is sin, the failing of our zeal, the misunderstanding or loss of absolute truth, the list goes on. The main point however is this: people are heading for hell, and the lake of fire, and God's wrath. We have the key to Salvation, through Christ Jesus our Lord, if we would only share it, broadcast it!
I am more convinced than ever that, among many other foundational solutions, The Truth Project will be a springboard of evangelism revival in the Church in the U.S. That is why Laurie and I are going to be opening our home to show this DVD series as often as possible in the coming year. Of course, the first session we'll be doing is with our church in Council Bluffs (Council Bluffs Bible Chapel). They requested that we do it during the normal Wednesday night prayer and potluck. While not perfectly ideal or intended by the project framework, it will get the training and DVD set into the hands of those at that assembly. From there, it may spread through their families or acquaintances. I have no idea what God has in mind for my family at CBBC, but I just know it's my responsibility to begin spreading this training tool around the Omaha area. I hope that Keystone, Northwest, and Lincoln Bible Chapels get ahold of it shortly thereafter as well!
Well, that's all for now.

We enjoyed the event, and there was a Margaritaville tent which served 'ritas in lit margarita glasses. They were good! I believe "yummy" is the technical term for it. Anyway, it was cool of Matt and April (or at least the company) to allow us to attend with them. We certainly enjoyed the dessert, which probably cost Matt an arm and a leg, I wouldn't even want to imagine. It was just cheese cake, but there was a silent auction... you know... for charity.
