(Written by Mauri)
Well, we completed our committee work yesterday.
And I
must admit, it was a tiring and grueling process. I am surprised at how well I
am holding up. This afternoon we head back to plenary to start discussing the
committee reports.
To be quite honest, I have been quite discouraged
about what I have heard coming out of the other committees. I really needed to
see Jesus in a fresh way today. And He answered my prayer.
I went to the
PFR/Fellowship of Presbyterians breakfast this morning and was refreshed as we
had a time of awesome worship and heard an encouraging message from Dr. Mark
Labberton, president of Fuller Theological Seminary. He used the book of Daniel
as his reference point, reminding us that we are living today in an
"exilic" setting and that we are constantly fighting against
idolatrous temptations in our culture. Our focus needs to be on the reality
that we worship the true God alone and are a part of His Kingdom, wherever He
has us serving.
I needed this to prepare myself for the final days of GA. Christ alone is my strength and in Him I will rest. Continue to pray for us and the PCUSA.
