DNOW 2012

This weekend I had the great privilege of being a leader at DNOW youth conference at First baptist Church in Rocky Mount, NC.

I can promise you the six eighth graders I hung out with all weekend were the coolest girls in the world. Even better than the fact they were 1. Hilarious 2. stylish 3. talented.... they most importantly all love the Lord with all their hearts.... for that reason I completely fell in love with these girls!

Out topic of the weekend was ... "are you really a Christian?"

Its kind of like when someone ask you a question and the answer is so simple that you just know it can't be right... but it is.

This is salvation. It is so simple it seems like there just has to be more to it... but there isn't.

The one single ingredient to being "born-again" is receiving the Holy Spirit, and we do that by having faith that God sent His only (Perfect) son to a (sinful) world to be our perfect sacrifice on the cross.  

We talked about Nicodemus who was one of the most religious people of his time.... and though he believed in Jesus, and was so close.... He was not actually a Christian... because he had not come to understand the one single ingredient.

Though I was teaching this to these girls, our hours and hours of conversations were also beneficial and convicting to my own life.

Very long story short .... this weekend was a blessing!
