Texas Family Weekend Encampment

Today will be my last blog entry for a few days. I haven't outgrown my collegiate propensity for procrastinating key assignments until the last minute.

Later this week, I have the honor to speak at the first-ever Texas Family Weekend Encampment at Lake Brownwood. Kerry Williams, preaching minister for the church in Early, Texas is coordinating the weekend. He has asked me to speak on "We See Jesus...In His Church" and "We See Jesus...High & Lifted Up."

My procrastination means I'm going to have to hump it the next two days to get some work done.

By the way, if you were assigned to teach on the topic, "We See Jesus...In His Church" what would you say? What approach would you take? I'm approaching this keynote from the perspective that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer. The Spirit's purpose is to form Christ in us (see Colossians 1.15-19; 2.2; Ephesians 3.14-19; Galatians 2.20, 4.19). We see Christ in His church when the Spirit re-creates Christ in each one of us!
