As promised I will be sharing notes from the Conference sessions. I needed a few days to recover mentally and skim these with that perspective. What follows are my notes from the final devotional session where Pastor Aupperle challenged us prior to corporate communion.
- Galatians 6:11-18
- we will all be marked by something in life; what will it be in mine?
- Deut.21:23
- - I Cor. 1:18
- we should be tattooed by the cross
- Barna's 12 most significant religious findings of 2006 included:
*15% of evangelicals see God as the top priority in life
* 35% say God expects us to be holy
#1: I will EMBRACE the cross
- the cross + nothing = salvation. nothing else is needed !
- Judaizers: cross + the law needed
- Gal. 1:6,7; 3:3; 6:11-15
- this view helps avoid any persecution because of the cross
- picking up your cross and carrying it is a one way journey - you don't get to come back
#2 I will ENDURE the cross
- Gal. 6:16,17
- 2 Cor 11:23-28
- no distraction from the goal
- Luke 9:51; 14:27
- I cannot say YES to the cross and continue to hang on to the things of this life
#3 I will EXALT only in the cross
- Gal. 6:14-15
- it's not about the externals
- Phil. 2:14-16
- nothing in this world holds attraction for me
- Acts 20:22-24
WHAT WILL YOU BE MARKED BY?????
