So today was the concluding day of Mission Conference 2008. I must say I've heard a lot from God these past few days and there's just so much to absorb and sink in and just ideas and thoughts to really pray about to see what God is really trying to tell me. It might take a while, but I'm excited to really feel God leading me and guiding me through this stage of random ideas. I'm excited that God is teaching me day by day and hopefully, I'll be a faithful servant to continually seek His answers and obey His commands for me.
There was one point that Dr. Franklin Pyles mentioned in his sermon today that really struck me. Evidently, it was his last point, and it was roughly these words: "To make Jesus famous, it has to be the desire of our hearts". We need to have this fame of Christ to grow in our hearts before we are able to show and declare how amazing Jesus is to the world. That struck me because it led me to ask myself: Do I really have that desire to make Jesus famous? i.e. to tell everybody how amazing Jesus is? I really question my personal commitment whether or not I truly believe that I am a Christian that has been changed by the wonderful saving grace and His amazing personal sacrifice for me. Like truly understand that. It's hard because I feel like it's there, but it's just sitting there. It should be my DESIRE to really tell the world how amazing Jesus is. I feel this is truly something I need to work and grow on....to have the desire to really pour it out to everybody the fame of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour who has saved us and blessed us with joy and peace.
