I am alive in Christ











{August 18, 2007}   Spiritual Warfare

Last night, I had my care group over to discuss with each other the wonders God worked in our lives at The Clash. God’s spirit was moving and it was amazing. The ever-present reminder of his presence is a great reminder of his faithfulness.    Since I have come back from the Clash, the spiritual warfare that I’ve been encountering has at times been overwhelming, but even in this, I am reminded of God’s promise to me in 2 Timothy 1:7, “for God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.”

I know that meditating on this verse, and holding onto its promise will help me through the spiritual battles that I encounter. If you think of me, please pray for me in this. It’s easy to become weary and frightened.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, God has another great promise for me: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”



{August 14, 2007}   The Clash

Was insane. I can’t even describe it. Though eventually I will try. I’m thinking a 24-part blog series. Ha ha ha…

God showed me so much about myself while I was there, he also showed me alot about his people. But I’m most excited that he showed me about himself, because he’s the most important thing in my life. (well, at least he should be)

All the speakers at the Clash were extremely humble men. They were all very smart and had reason to be proud, but they weren’t. That stuck in my mind more than any lecture could. I was also struck with their passion. You could tell they loved talking about God, about theology, doctrine, apologetics and philosophy, but their excitement for those things was nothing compared to the passion in their voices when they recounted the Gospel. That’s one of the main things I took away from this amazing conference.

What did you learn at the Clash?
