Headwear

So I am lying in my camper during a session because my glaucoma is acting up and decided this is a good of a time as ever to make a post.

We have been in Ngaruawhia (pronounced "narawahia") for 3 days now attending the V20 conference. The conference is Student Life's (what they call Cru down here) vision for the year 2020. It has been incredibly uplifting to see and hear all the things God has been doing around the world. From hearing stories about New Zealand and Australia to Hong Kong and East Asia, God has been working big around the world.

Roger Hershey has been giving his talk about the heaven and the reign of Christ and it has been very refreshing to hear. A great reminder he gave was in 1 Cor 3:13 where it says "the fire will test the quality of each man's work". Quality, not quantity. That is what our team needs to be reminded of. Australia is hard soil, but the quality of our work is more important than the quantity of work we do. This quality will lead to one of the promises that is made. We receive crowns for our work we do on Earth. We must work towards these crowns, not to say, "Look at how many crowns I have gathered in my lifetime", but to humbly walk up to Jesus in heaven and lay them at his feet. Our crowns are not to show what we have done in our life, they are to show what we have done for God during our lifetime because of what he did for us. If we are faithful to Him during our life, the quality of our work will be infinitely better then trying to work without Him. We will receive praises from Jesus when we get to heaven hearing "well done good and faithful servant". What more could we ask for from the creator of all things.
