Last week, I attended Advance, a conference about the power of God's gift to His people - The Church. There were so many wonderful speakers and so much to take in and even more to digest at the end. I am still working through things I heard and the message God has been speaking to my heart for some time now.
Home has been and is so many things to me. Clinton. New York. Quins. Jersey. MTSU. Gallery Church. Rex, Teena, and Nick. And all of these things are good things. But when we take Good things and make them God things then they become Bad things. They become IDOLS. (Thank you Mark Driscoll for speaking God's Truth and for taking us all to the woodshed.)
The whole conference kept pointing back to Jesus. Everything has been pointing me back to Jesus.
Then last night as I was riding the bus to Jersey to see my lovely Garvin family and I was listening to the Once soundtrack. These lyrics echoed through my trip.
"In the silence call me home" - Jesus, You are my home.
