WOW! I spent the weekend at the National Conference for Precept Ministries International in Chattanooga. We didn't get there until late Friday evening and missed Kay Arthur receiving a Honorary Doctorate in Humanities from her alma mater Temple University. What an honor and one that was richly deserved. Congratualtions Dr. Kay!
The National Conference is for me a refueling station in my year. An opportunity to be "saturated" in the Word of God. And, you can trust that opinion is not on the platform when it's a Precept Conference, it's the Word of God. Thank you Jack and Kay and all the wonderful staff members that work so tirelessly on that weekend each year. If you are interested in getting tickets for next year go to www.precept.org - they are moving the conference back to the beginning of summer since school has been starting so much earlier.
I enjoyed each speaker but I enjoyed the Word of God from them the most. Can't you tell when a preacher/teacher gets up and starts whether or not they have had a fresh WORD from God? Pastors and Teachers who spend time in the Word studying the Word of God regularly, daily are to be applauded as the faithful gifts that they are to the Body of Christ...

It's so exciting to look through the posts and read about what God is doing in the practical at RSBC (such as new ideas for events) and in the hearts of women at RSBC! One neat thing about the Ten Practices that Great Christians Have in Common List is the use of the word "great". It reminds me of the use of that word in Acts, when the Holy Spirit came on the church, and there was great power, great fear, and great joy! Great Christians do have that aspect of greatness, simply because they have the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. I wonder how often we fail to tap into that power when it was readily available!
