True Church Conference
I just returned home from the True Church Conference that was held by the First Baptist Church of Muscle Shoals. I can say that I have been exhorted by some of the greatest of God’s servants in the United States. The times of worship were just as wonderfully anointed and were terrifyingly heavenous.
The theme of the conference this year was Church Discipline. Focused on both the theology and methodology of Church Discipline, the preachers exhorted us to consider that we will never have true churches until we practice the scriptures in their entirety and this includes discipline. They also challenged us to simply be humble men of God who base their life and ministry on the scriptures alone.
Tom Clay did an amazing job leading worship. I once heard a preacher say, “you don’t sing because you can sing, you sing because you’ve got a song.” I felt that the entire church had a song, the song of the redeemed. What a blessing to be around people who sing over redemption of the soul.
It was truly a wonderful weekend. Timmy Brister, live blogged the entire conference and has most of the sermon outlines on his website if you are interested in what went on.
One response so far
Let’s get real. Heavenous??? You say that you were exhorted to practice the scriptures in their entirety?? How about the scripture that teaches that we have to deny ourselves? Does having three vehicles and a motorcycle indicate that you are living a life of self-denial? Please don’t preach to me until you are living a life like Jesus or the apostles. Getting paid to preach…hmm
did Jesus do that?
