Pepperdine Lectures . . .

This week we will attend the Pepperdine Lectures. I look forward to the view of the ocean, however I do not look forward to walking up and down the hills. I am scheduled to be on a panel with Carla Calhoun and John Dobbs if everything goes as scheduled Friday.
My dream is to have a network of response teams nationwide to work with. Imagine getting the call to come and help from another team close to an event instead of getting called by the Red Cross. I have an awesome sermon title waiting to be preached: "The Red Cross or the Real Cross." I am not knocking their mission in anyway, it is flawed, but they are placing people to feed, clothe and shelter in times of disaster. Which is the mission of the local church! Which Cross would you chose the eternal cross of Jesus or the cross that is a temporary organization.
I look forward to bing moved by God during this lectureship, I hope Mike Cope, Jeff Walling, Randy Harris and all the speakers are taking in a full supply of word of God and Holy Spirit to share with us. I will give updates from P.U. during the week.
