Once again I found myself feeling very much at home in the worship time<\/strong>. Hands raised, great gusto in the voices, and a clear sense of the sweet presence of the risen Jesus. I\u2019d take such a sense of Jesus\u2019 presence over music that is stylistically identical to what we sing, but without that conscious awareness of his presence, any day.<\/p>\n

The talk was on missions by the USA head of Frontiers, Bob Blincoe.\u00a0 He laid before us the challenge of world mission, interweaving stories from his own life of being a missionary to Kurds in Northern Iraq with an explanation of how Christian hedonism helps the missionary not lose heart or give way to fear.\u00a0 He said something which stuck like a dagger to me.\u00a0 \u201cI am naturally selfish and careless.\u201d<\/strong> It hit me like a ton of bricks that the same is, of course, true of me.\u00a0 I pray that my wife in particular will notice me becoming less selfish and less careless on my return from this trip.<\/p>\n

Another great line from Bob went something like this: \u201cIf you cant see very far\u00a0 go as far you can see and then see where God will lead you next.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I found myself trying to really notice my surroundings today in response to Piper\u2019s talk from yesterday, and experience afresh the wonder of the creation we get to enjoy.\u00a0 God help me to change as a response to being among these people.<\/p>\n

In the panel discussion the depth of insight and sharpness of thought these men demonstrated struck me, if anything, more than during the talks themselves.\u00a0 It is worth watching the Q and A just to witness the discomfort on Sam Storms face as he was asked about the filling of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 As he considered what to say, Piper urged him on.\u00a0 It will make a classic piece of video that I plan to watch again soon!<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t remember ever leaving a conference with as much to think about and process as this one.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
