As you read this post, about 3,000 young adults and singles (including approx. 40 from Crossway) are wrapping up the 4 day Next conference in Baltimore, Maryland.

In a word: wonderful…simply wonderful.

God has spoken clearly and powerfully to us as D.A. Carson, Josh Harris, C.J. Mahaney and others have preached on the topic of Jesus Christ.  These messages should be available for downloading in the weeks ahead at the Next website (www.thisisnext.org).

It has been refreshing to refocus on the One who matters most to the Christian heart.  Though our brains are nearly bursting and our bodies are wearing out (1am seems to be the average bed-time), it has been a long, cold drink from a pure stream.  Turning our eyes to Jesus will always have that effect.

I thank God that I’ve been able to enjoy this time with many of our beloved singles & young adults.

We kept this steel beam from falling...amazing.
