More nuggets from our time in Colorado with James & Betty Robison:
-The more you look like one another, the less you look like Jesus (Jesus values uniqueness, diversity, individuality)
-My note: Purposes-Principles-Paradigms-Practices lead to Impact
-He is more anxious to speak than you are to listen. Romans 10 connection. (Ouch! This is so reassuring and so convicting at once! How many times has the Father longed to speak to me and I was unwilling and unavailable to listen?)
-Themes of Faith, Family, Freedom were throughout this conference. Return to wisdom, sanity, security. Those 3 words of Faith/Family/Freedom really resonate with me. We rejoiced in the abolition of slavery, we should now be weeping at the abolition of freedom (this was a powerful and challenging section where the free market, freedom from greed, and personal freedom were all addressed). I feel particularly called to see churches and people walk in freedom and hope!
-This is a powerful prayer for us: “Show us the steps necessary to restore the fullness of faith, family, and freedom and for the Church to be who and what God has destined to be”. (Wow! Yes Lord..I long for me and for our churches to be who you have destined us to be!)
