Running Scared Opening


The conference is underway. Already had the opportunity to meet up with several friends. The best part of most conferences are these times of reconnection. Also got to meet a reader of this blog, Jason Kovacs and his wife Shawnda, for the first time and share transracial adoption stories.

Tim Lane opened the conference by meditating on Acts 18 where Paul is facing attack from local Jewish officials. Tim connected this situation with a verse in 1 Cor 2:1 where Paul says he came in fear and anxiety and the Lord’s answer in Acts 18 that He will be with him in spite of the real attack that is all around him. Why? Because God has many people there and has a mission.

Do most of us think that God has a mission for us and is with us and will guide us?  

Take away quote: “Fear and anxieties are predictions of the future.” Ed Welch

CCEF’s Annual Conference Topic: Anxiety


Starting Friday, CCEF is running its annual conference in Valley Forge, PA. You can click this linkto register or view speakers and breakouts. Several look pretty good. The keynote is by Ed Welch who is releasing his new book on the topic (free to conference registrants). By the way, his picture is on the page link above. Do you think it looks likes he’s trying to scare little children with that attack position? I’ll be there manning the Biblical Seminary booth and possibly live-blogging if the Wi-Fi is free as it was last year. If you are going to be there, come by and say hello.
