This weekend, I was privileged to attend a youth conference hosted by friends on our property. About 250 young adults gathered in a tent all day Friday and Saturday for a series of excellent messages on Philippians 3 with the theme “The Justified Youth.” I was edified by the insight, practicality, and engaging presentation of the lectures, no doubt representing many hours of prayerful preparation by each preacher. I also enjoyed the rousing choir music, the congregation hymns, and the afternoon breakout session in which application questions were discussed in small groups. I was happy to help by taking some photographs and serving at one of the meals, but most of the time I was free to soak in the teaching during the sessions, and visit with friends during the breaks. What an encouragement it is to share such refreshing events with brothers and sisters in Christ.
