NA: Day 3, Afternoon

Wow, what an amazing time we are having at New Attitude. (sorry, it seems like I'm rubbing it in. I'm really not, just excited) Yesterday was the most amazing day for messages. God has really blessed us with gifted speakers at this conference. Yesterday we had three messages.
First, in the morning, we had Mark Devor speak on the storyline if the Bible. Remember when he spoke at Celebration on 1 Corinthians and went through the entire book? Well, let's multiply that a little. Mark Devor took it a step further. He used the same type of formula but went through the entire Bible. That's right, from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. From page 1 to page 1252 (ok, well not every page, but you get the idea)
Second, in the afternoon, Mike Bullmore spoke on the Centrality of the Gospel. He spoke on how the Gospel applies to all aspects of life. He taught us how to take the Gospel and truths derived from the Gospel and apply them to every part of our lives. It really spurred everyone on to grow in Godliness.
Then, in the evening, the moment we had all been waiting for... C.J. Mahaney on the Cross. He went through a meditation of Jesus' atoning death on the Cross. He spoke mostly out of Isaiah 53 and it was compelling.
This has really been the best conference as far as the content of the messages spoken that I have ever been to. As far as that is concerned, it really blows Celebration out of the water. These speakers have really brought the very best of the best of their messages.
Speaking of Celebration, I was joking with Mr. Kittrell last night about his involvement in bringing New Attitude back from the dead. (supposedly he was a big part in pulling some strings to try to get them to bring it back again) I said, "You've succeeded in bringing New Attitude back, do you think you have a chance of bringing Celebration back?" He was writing something down at the time I asked him that and didn't even look up as he replied, "Yeah, 2008." CELEBRATION 2008!!! I can't wait! This is really exciting news!

ok, see you all later...
