Potomac Conference Bible Retreat - November 7-8, 2009

This past weekend I was in the beautiful state of Virginia speaking for the Potomac Conference Bible retreat.  We had students from all over Virginia and Maryland come out to Blue Ridge Camp in the hills outside of Charlottesville, VA.  The theme for the weekend was The Omega Declaration: God is my final answer!  And what I was challenging the participants with was to choose to allow Jesus to have the final answer in their lives. 

Today was honestly the highlight for me as we explored Jesus going into the temple and throwing over the tables of the money changers and the pidgin sellers and running them out of the way so that the sick people could come in and receive healing.  I made a call, first for people to take a stand that they were publicly declaring that they wanted to follow the Omega Declaration.  Then I had a specific call for people who hadn’t ever accepted Jesus as their savior to come forward.  While nearly everyone in the room stood, three young men came forward to accept Jesus into their lives!  And that was the icing on the cake for me.  Don’t get me wrong I was stoked hearing from the people that I had a chance to speak to about their journey, but to see these three young guys take a stand was amazing! 

To God be the glory.  It ain’t a game anymore!  This is as real as it gets!

Blessings,

Matthew
