I
was blessed to be able to be apart of organizing, as well as, attend
the 31st Rocky Mountain Biblical Worldview Conference last
weekend. I left encouraged in my faith, strengthened in my walk with
Christ, challenged in my life, and having learned so much. At this
conference, Nationally renowned authors, speakers, and leaders Kevin
Swanson and Israel Wayne joined local teaching elder, author and
speaker David Barrett to spend all weekend addressing many Christians
along the theme: “At the Crossroads: Liberty or Tyranny”.
Although,
I cannot even try to begin to express all that was taught, I would
like to share with you all my favorite quotes and tidbits from the
sessions I was able to attend. Hopefully they will stimulate thought
and encourage you as they have done to me!

Thanks for sharing those, Justin! :) I was really inspired by them. My favorite is "The distinct thing about the Christian religion is that God does not stand and look at us from the outside, but rather comes alongside us -Israel Wayne" love that! So true, and really easy for me to forget.
