I'll Be Honest

Paul spent so much time looking believers in the eyes and reminding them of who they are in Christ. We see this in Ephesians 2:19, "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God."

There may be many blessings we receive from going to a conference, but one of the primary blessings we need to receive is growth in graciousness and knowledge of Jesus Christ. No matter if we're a brand new Christian or if we're the holiest person in our church, we all must still grow in our Christian life.

Your souls won't grow without food and there is no food for the soul like the Word of God. There is no place to be, better than before the face of Jesus Christ. - Geoff Thomas

Excerpt taken from the exhortation that Geoff Thomas gave at the prayer meeting prior to the conference starting.

"I am going to speak to you, over the course of these meetings, over the topic of the unity of the church. I think that under the explicit preaching of the Gospel, the unity of the church is the central labor and love of my life. I cannot think of anything more important to me than the unity of the church."

Every single person will be gathered before Jesus Christ on Judgment Day. They will all stand before Him and receive their eternal sentence. They will either hear from Him, "Come you blessed," or "Depart you wicked."

When young people actually develop the habits of Biblical fasting, it makes it a whole lot easier to say "no" to lust. In the reverse, those who have no control to fast from food are often the ones falling into lust.
