We are Reminding You

Tom was able to graciously get us seated very, very close to the front.  It was a wonderful joy for the entire day.  The morning started with singing from the Master's men. 

Then the preaching began in earnest.  There is really to much to add, to even try to summarize.  On the first day of the conference, the were messages from:

Dr. John MacArthur, Austin Duncan, Paul Twiss and two messages from HB Charles.  They were all outstanding.  In terms of the concise and helpful relevance, the message from Dr. MacArthur may have been the best message I have ever heard from him.  It was a powerful encouragement that provided God-honoring clarity to the perfect sufficiency of His Word.  The message from Paul Twiss was personal and heavy with meaning.  His words may have been the most echo-rich in our minds.  Austin Duncan shared serious insights into suffering.  Right after his message we learned that a missionary from Argentina (Dani'el) had to leave for LAX return, because his wife was diagnosed with a blood sepsis.  We all prayed.  Both messages from HB Charles were practical, helpful and mind-centering.  The first message from HB during the lunch session was really a central message.  He unwound so many points of post-truth error.  I believe this is a message that will be repeated at the SPC session later this year in Florida to the benefit of us all.

We got back to the Prevost at 10:30pm.  We collapsed into our bunks.  A new morning is here.  At the moment it is 7:12am here.  Have to stop, we are getting ready to push off. More updates throughout the day.
