Part 2 Na Testimony

Sorry it took me so long to get Part 2 posted. I encourage you to go to the New Attitude website and listen to the messages. Click on 2008 Conference on the left of the page.


continued from part 1................I want to give myself to the Word and I want to Labor to know him. Labor means work. Our generation is the most biblically ignorant in history. Piper asked us not to waste our life by being lazy. He told us that we must die to the notion that we don’t have to work hard or think hard in order to obtain spiritual progress. He encouraged us to use our brains. The Lord will give us understanding in everything. He said that there is such thing as regressive sanctification. You must keep swimming in the river (the world and its influences). If you stop, you will go backwards. We cannot make progress in our spiritual life until we are confident that God is 100 percent on our side. He freely gives us all things. He is not against us no matter the circumstance or event. We must fight to believe this, not to make it true. We must fight to see glory when there is doubt. In order to fight, we must be people of the Word so we can pull out our swords and stick our feelings with God’s promises. This requires memorization which I have already started with my family. I am motivated to make God and His Word my passion because I am deserving of judgment and wrath, but instead get life and breath and every good thing because God sent his son to die in my place for all my sins so I could be completely forgiven. I have been adopted into God’s family and am a child of God. I am no longer a slave but a son and if a son than an heir.

This conference came at the perfect time for me. God is so good and kind. I pray that from here forward I will never read my Bible the same way again. I want it to be my joy and the delight of my heart.
