Just What I Needed

This past weekend I went to the thriving metropolis of Pisgah, Alabama, for RUF Fall Conference. It could not have come at a better time. The weekend consisted of great teaching, sweet worship, precious friends, beautiful weather, and no cell phone. What else could I ask for? The Lord so graciously brought  me rest and renewal when I needed it the most. Here are some pictures from the weekend, and some quotes from my notes. Paul Boyd did a great serious on Psalms 23, 103, 51, and 86. I am so thankful for the blessing RUF has been over the past year and a half!

"Trust leads to rest."

 "I preach the Gospel every week because every week my people forget it." -Martin Luther

 "We receive the Gospel like the ground receives the rain." -St. Augustine

 "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him." Psalm 103:11 

 "I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. The need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. Prayer doesn't change God, it changes me." -C.S. Lewis

"Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name." Psalm 86:11
