David Platt taught the gospel in a way that I have never experienced before. It was mind-blowing, life- altering..6 hours of amazingness (is that a word?)..before I went Michael had asked me this question "If God wants us to go and do His work someday..would you?". I of course answered "don't think God is speaking to me about that right now..check back in, oh..40 years" ;) When I left at 1:20am last night..God was saying..it's not about you, and what you want..it's about ME! So, we don't think God is calling us to be missionary's or anything extraordinary like that(or maybe?)..but we do feel God calling us to do more as a family. And last night I prayed that God would use us..not just me, or Michael..but all 4 of us. I made a note in my book (I will explain just how hard it was to take notes in a bit)..it says "All Worship..All Life...He deserves My All"..the note taking was also amazingness (I love this word!) They gave us a study guide with fill in the blanks, so that it would be useful to us during the study and after. I have read over mine about 80 times today, trying to soak in what I missed. David Platt went so fast, that if you made a side note..you might miss 4 Fill In The Blanks!! But it was great to be able to "cheat" off your neighbor for the answer!!! What has struck me the most is this fact he gave" There are over 11,000 people groups in the world today"."OVER 6,000 people groups still not reached with the gospel"..Wow.."this condition is not acceptable".."This commission is absolutely achievable"..yet, another wow. This is our purpose to proclaim His name to all nations. On Easter Sunday..as you sit in Worship, or maybe rocking a baby or at work...think about how YOU can share with someone the gospel. 50,000 people tuned into "Secret Church" last night..what if next time it's over 100,000..I urge you if he does this again..SIGN UP..1am is not that late..and it's worth it..
I would have stayed all night to soak up that information.
I do not deserve his mercy.
I am thankful for it.
"And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever."
Revelation 22:5
Hallelujah! Christ is Risen!
Happy Easter!
