Since this is my last time with you and I'll be getting on a plane right after this session,

I want to thank Rod especially for inviting me and thank Nelson for all that's gone into the conception and development of this project and vision and

Dieter wherever he went to sit for leading us in worship and you for being such absorbent

listeners to draw out of me what I feel so full of. This has been good for me to be here. It's a real great thing because

when I was asked, I didn't, there's some things you need to really struggle with whether to do it or not, and this was not one of them.

Because I feel God's in this movement, I feel he's in this room, I feel that my generation is not finished and has something absolutely stunning in Christ

to offer the world.

I've been wondering whether I'm the oldest baby boomer here,

so I'd like to take a survey.

I'm the oldest baby boomer at my church.

Now you know baby boomers are born in 1946 1946 so I want to ask you raise your hand if you

were born between January 1 and January 10

1946 raise your hand. Oh, shoot. Okay, forget it. I'm not the oldest baby memory here.

I thought it could be real fatherly and...'ll be fatherly anyway. I'm going to do something different this morning than I'd plan because of one of you, two of you, at least,

you'll be perhaps gratified to know that our little brief interchange last night caused some rumblings in my soul and as I got up a little

before six this morning, began to pray and seek the Lord about this, I really felt like another message saying almost the same thing,

which is what I was going to do, would perhaps seal it, but I think if you haven't got it by now, probably not going to get it.

Although I am going to take that message and do it in five minutes, so open your Bible.

Open your Bible to Hebrews.

And where we're going to go after we take five or seven minutes on this message that I'm not going to give is to back up and ask, okay, very practically, show us,

tell us practical steps about how to become

and sustain this kind of intense delight in God that you're talking about that glorifies him.
