How about an update :)

Over the weekend Micah and I had the opportunity to attend a conference in Eastbourne which is on the southeast coast of the UK. Last fall I went to a conference in Seattle and had the opportunity to hear a man named Alistair Begg speak. The way he communicated and brought God's word to us in such a true and simple way really intrigued me. I wanted to hear more of what he had to say. Since that conference I have read some of his book and Micah and I both listen to his radio program, Truth For Life. Now, keep in mind, I know he is just a man and a tool the Lord is using in my life. I am not elevating him to a certain level or anything, I just think the Lord has really blessed him with an amazing speaking ability. Anyways, back in November I found out that Alistair would be speaking in the UK this May so I immediately bought tickets. It was a long wait but the weekend finally came. I was so excited to share this experience with Micah. Micah and I both came away totally and completely blessed after a weekend filled with fellowship worship and just getting into the Bible. I just wanted to share with you all one thing that Micah and I took away from this conference. The biggest concept that hit us was the fact that as Christians we should be in a hurry to share Christ with all those around us. The Devil likes to make us think that there is always tomorrow and another opportunity will come for us to share the gospel. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable because of the crowd we're in so we say we will say what needs to be said some other time. But that is just a lie that we tell ourselves. Time is of the essence and we should take every opportunity we have to share the gospel with those around us. So we need to ask ourselves if we are "Christians" beyond Sunday morning at church and maybe Wednesday nights? In all we do and say we need to be telling people the awesome truth of Jesus and the salvation that He freely offers. So that is what has been on my heart for the past few days and I wanted to share it with you.
