In just a few, short hours LOGOS5 will draw to a complete end here in Grand Rapids. The lights will fade in the “Street Party” area, the teens will all tuck into their beds (yah right!), and we’ll get a few hours of sleep before heading back to our home churches.
Tonight Dan Seaborn “knocked it out of the park” by explaining in the “official” Dan Seaborn way that the BIBLE is to be ON TOP of everything else in our lives. He exclamed again and again the importance of ALL of us taking this WORD OF GOD home with us and allowing it to penetrate our hearts and our lives. His illustrations were very familiar for anyone who attended this year’s Promise Keepers rally – he brought up his “famous” trophy basketball and his “famous” dollhouse. Nearly every teen responded to a call to put Christ first and read his word EVERY DAY for the next year.
Each teen was then given the opportunity to come forward and receive their copy of the ONE YEAR BIBLE (NLT).
January 1st begins the “YEAR OF THE BIBLE” for the Wesleyan denomination where the leaders of our denomination are challenging Wesleyan’s to read the Bible through this year!
Can you imagine what this will do for the Church – ESPECIALLY if it begins with the Junior High and High School students?! WOW!
Other highlights from the night – dinner with the Pence family – Dr. Jerry and Mrs. Pence and Kris & Lanni and Kory! What a blast!
TONS more pictures of tonight’s adventures here.
Tomorrow we’re heading out by 9AM – we’ll be home in mid-afternoon after fighting LOGOS5 traffic and stopping for lunch.
