What about the Incarnation?

What about the Incarnation?

The theme of Urbana ’09 is that God Dwelled Among Us. It’s all about how God “moved into our neighborhood” with the incarnation.

In tonight’s general session, we explored this concept a little.

Here are my notes from General Session #1 at Urbana:

When God wanted to show us His love, He chose to have His Son here with us. The incarntation is:

The MEANS by which God reaches out to us.

  • To honor someone in the middle east, you go to them where they are comfortable just like Jesus did with us.
  • When God showed us His love, He came to us.

It is the MESSAGE that God has for us.

  • We have seen His glory.
  • We can experience His grace.
  • We are challenged by His truth.

We should not be surprised if people reject the truth today…they rejected Jesus.

It is the MODEL for how we minister.
As the Father sent me, I am sending you.

Another thing that struck me hard was this phrase: Even the darkness was not dark to you.

Imo’s Pizza in St. Louis

I didn't even know that St. Louis has it's own style of pizza until tonight.

Since it's about 29 degrees outside and I'm exhausted, I decided to just order some local food from a place called Imo's pizza.

St. Louis style pizza is super thin, almost like a cracker, and it has a different kind of cheese on it than regular pizza. I think the cheese is called Provel. It's tangy but good.

Overall, I liked it. Plus, they delivered it right to my hotel room.
