CSU Highlights

Staff conference has come and gone. What a crazy 10 days. Here are some high lights.

(1) Mountains are beautiful. Seriously.

(2) Tim Keller is an awesome teacher. God has given him great insight on His word and such skill in communicating it. Through his talk God reawakened my excitement for the gospel and my desire to truly experience it. He reminded us that we cannot earn our salvation through any means, but instead we must see the deepness of our sin and our inability to earn the grace and mercy found at in the cross.

Biggest point I’ve taken away from Keller’s talk: Forgiveness is freedom to go. Justification is freedom to come. Thank God the gospel is more than forgiveness of my sins. It is also gives us justification to come to God.

(3) Larry Crabb also has great insight. Never has God used a speaker to deepen my desire to love others through the power of the gospel. The big idea from his session I’ve taken away: Christianity is the freedom to indulge in our deepest desire: to love.

(4) Being on staff with Campus Crusade has to be one of the greatest jobs ever. It was amazing to hear day after day awesome stories of how God is working around the world to make His kingdom known on earth. It was almost overwhelming to be in one place with 5,000 people who are all united under one mission, one vision and one Love.

These are my people.

Part of the greatest team ever!
