A Crowded Mind

Most of you know, I had the opportunity to attend Passion Conference in Atlanta, GA with about 60,000 other college age students during the first few days of the new year. It is an amazing opportunity to experience Passion.  If you are interested, check out the site: http://www.268generation.com/3.0/.  So at this conference, Louie Giglio states at the end of his first message

"Sin does not make us bad.

Sin makes us DEAD."

Man does that hit home every time I read it. And I read it often. I have it on a Post-It on my desk so that I have to read it every day.  All too often I'm given this reminder.  Sin does not make us bad. Sin makes us dead.  Spiritually dead.  Hard and calloused toward what God would like to teach us.  Being constantly reminded of my sin makes me more grateful for the sacrifice of my Savior.  He was perfect. He was sinless. He bore my sins when He hung on the Cross. But while He was on the Cross, He declared "It is finished." These three words are the other phrase that are continually in the forefront of my mind.  Not only this, but He died and rose again three days later. Conquering sin. Conquering death. 

Crown Him (Majesty)
