Day 2 Evening Main Session was Francis Chan
This was one of the messages that stuck with me the most.
Some saw Jesus raise Lazarus and still chose to deny- some are hardened soil
2 Pet 3:1 Stir up your sincere mind with a reminder
God will still get you there after wrong turns It may take a little longer and you'll have to listen but He can and will

Read with reverence for the Word of God
Is 66:2 He looks for the humble, contrite in spirit who trembles at His Word
Matt 17--Transfiguration Peter, James, John on the Mount with Jesus
Do you know what you're asking when you ask God to speak to you? The voice of God
2 Pet 1:16-21 Peter heard the actual, audible voice of God He says we have something better, more sure
The Word of God- its true yesterday, today and tomorrow
Crave the Word. Read and tremble
What we see and call "church" and "Christian" in society is different from whats in the Word
II Pet 1:1 Peter writes that he's writing to people of equal faith standing- my faith is of equal standing with Peter, an apostle!
I am not some less loved kid I am just as much a child of God as any and all of my siblings even apostles and the great theologians and teachers of modern day
When others look at my life- the grace and peace- do they wish they had my (Heavenly) Father?
v3 His Divine power has granted us all things pertaining to life and Godliness
If you believe this as God's Word and you're not living a Godly life, its your own fault
He's given me everything I need to live a Godly life walking with Him
when you mess up, confess it Stop making excuses and explaining why its so hard
God's Word says I am a partaker of Divine nature v 4
II Pet 2:20-22 A pig will be a pig unless his nature changes he'll go back to the mud
He's referring to those in spiritual culture (getting "hosed off") but not getting a new nature
Rom 2:4 God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance
anger, addictions, lack of kindness....
If the Holy Spirit (new nature) is in you, you have the power over these things
