T4G

I (Matt) was extremely blessed to be able to attend the Together for the Gospel (T4G) Conference in Louisville, KY with 7 other men from church.  It was an incredible experience and God taught me many things from the conference, but most importantly, as the theme of the conference went, I learned how often I "underestimate" the gospel of Jesus Christ.  In some areas it is how I live my life, where I don't fully surrender God's money and talents back to Him due to my "underestimating" the power of the gospel in my giving and serving.  Maybe it is the co-worker/friend who I am afraid to share the gospel with due to the fact that I have to see them every day and don't want to annoy them or make them uncomfortable (do I really even love them?).  Maybe it is in my prayer life, where I have given up praying for unbelieving friends due to "underestimating" the power of the best news ever known to man! Irregardless of which part of my life I am reflecting on, God showed me my immense lack of belief at times in the power of the cross throughout the week at T4G. I also had an amazing time getting to know men from church who sharpened and challenged me to a deeper walk with Christ, a greater love for Kait, and a greater desire to grow in Holiness.

One of my favorite parts of the conference was singing hymns of praise under the leading of Bob Kauflin (Sovereign Grace Music).  How sweet to hear 7000 men (with a few women sprinkled in) praising Jesus for the work that He has done for us, but most importantly, for the Glory of the Father!

Of course, they were all spectacular, but my top 3 in order were:

1) David Platt

2) Kevin DeYoung

3) Ligon Duncan

A huge to thanks to my wonderful wife (Kait), Northridge Church, and to my employer (KSi) for this opportunity to spend three days under wonderful, spirit-powered teaching!
