Blessed Fellowship

In a constant persuit of adding to my 'visited states' list, I have proceeded, along with a number of folks from my church to Monroe, LA, for the Auborn Avenue Theological Conference. This it is focusing on the Church. While things are just getting underway, already we are spiritually encouraged and bolstered. It took eight hours or so to get here from MO, and what a blessed eight hours it was! Sitting there, reading C.S. Lewis, studying, mulling, and then, joy of joys, discussing ideas with each other. Not debating, not patting each other on the backs with indignant self-agreement, but fellowshipship, indeed discovering wonders about our Lord and Savior, that led the heart to worship Him. Indeed they were discussion whose natural end demanded worship and rejoicing in the one and only Lord and savior of the world.
