I hope your summers are all off to a great start! Sorry to say, they will go fast, so enjoy them and make the most of them! Please take the time to read this message early this summer.
Since school got out, I've been thinking about our last school year, and every blessing of growth and obedience, including every truth we encountered individually and as a group.
Honestly, it was an interesting year. My hope and prayer is that even though most people's schedules conflicted during most meetings and events, and we had a hard time seeing each other consistently, each member grew in their understanding of, appreciation for, and trust in the Gospel, and their joy in spreading it for Christ's Name's sake.
For each person who is desiring personal, campus-wide, and church-wide revival, I'm reminded of this thought from A.W.Pink, "There are many who are praying for a world wide revival, but it would be more timely and more scriptural for prayer to be made to the Lord of the harvest that He would raise up and thrust forth labourers who would fearlessly and faithfully preach those truths which are calculated to bring about a revival."
That's what CCN is here for; not for socializing or even to gain members, by the grace of the Lord, to be labourers, thrust forth to "fearlessly and faithfully preach those truths which are calculated to bring about a revival," and to equip believers to do the same. I hope that goal has been evident to anyone who attended our meetings.
I hope to hear from each of you soon, and to hear specifically your thoughts about last semester. Could you give me all your observations, advice, complaints, praise-reports, etc? (ccn@iupui.edu) I would appreciate anything, and I will have more specific questions soon.
Until then, make sure to check out the above video "Selling Out God" as soon as possible. (Also, if you will be in town for our conference with Ray Comfort, please register asap! http://www.goodmessengers.com/) Thanks!
Grace and peace to you in Christ,
yours in Him,
John
