Current Tunage: Tunnel Rats – Line Finish

1 Corinthians 9:23-27 ESV
I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? so run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Please pray for myself, Noah, Todd, Ben, and Alex as we drive down to Chicago today for the Gospel Coalition National Conference 2009. Over the next three days we will be hearing from the likes of John Piper, Mark Driscoll, Tim Keller, CJ Mahaney, Josh Harris, DA Carson, and others. It promises to be a time of challenge, of exhortation, and of great fellowship. Pray for safety as we make the 10+ hour drive, for God to move in our hearts as we hear from His Word and His people, and for a renewed passion to bring His gospel to the world. All of us are at that in-between stage of “figuring out what’s next” and so I think it’s safe to say we’re all looking for God to do some amazing things in and among us as we gather with folks from around the world for teaching, prayer, and fellowship.
