Last week we had the privilege of attending our national convention, commonly called "Council", where over 2000 delegates, representing many of our churches, gather to "do business" and to "hear our vision articulated". We also have the opportunity to catch up with old friends and reconnect with churches that are very involved in kingdom advance around the world.
The theme of this Council was, "Jesus Only", with an emphasis on His sufficiency for life. Every speaker was excellent, with a combination of an ability to communicate effectively, and a challenge to deeper life.
In spite of the economic woes hitting our country, and some folks assessment that the church is failing, I am encouraged by what I see. I believe that The Alliance still has a clear vision for the King and His kingdom. I see many of our churches making the effort to impact their communities for Christ. It is wonderful to be a part of a movement that sees the world the way The Alliance constituency is seeking to see it.
