I had a great time at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Georgia General Assembly this weekend. It was a good of worship, learning, and fellowship. I got to see a lady who was my Minister to Children when I was in preschool. She's the Minister of Faith Development at FBC Rome. I also got to network with some music ministry folks, too.
The preacher did an excellent job. On Friday, he spoke about the life Jesus as the "central standard" by which Scripture is to be interpreted. He referenced numerous passages that are contradictory in the Bible, but went on to say that Jesus' life is our lens for interpretation. This morning he looked more specifically about women in ministry and the interpretation of those contradictory passages. Once again, Jesus is the guide for interpretation saying "walls down, arms out." All the walls of division--class, race, gender, etc.--were torn down by Christ. It was very good. My Mom, Dad and Ricky came this morning to sing with the CBF of Georgia state choir for this morning's worship service. It was nice to hang with them during that time and afterward at lunch and a little bit at home.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day--two worship services in the morning and then some kids' concert by Jana Alayra from California. I'm afraid she's going to be the mousecateer-type. I'm just not really into that. Hmm.
I had to do a site change this afternoon without my inserter! It was a little bit unnerving with that 2" needle to stick in without any guidance. I hope I did it correctly!
I'm off to unpack and then hit the sack.
