It's a remarkable thing to me that this many ministers are gathered together.

As I was preparing this morning for this and writing an almost entirely new message because of things

that were burning in my heart yesterday, I felt a great affection for you and for this event.

I love the proclamation trust.

I love what it stands for.

I love the word proclamation.

And you know this is remarkable, it's been going on a long time, of course, but this, in America, this would be equal to about 5,000 pastors getting together.

You just do the math.

And that happens.

I wrote down 10 of them right here.

Resolve, Shepherds, necks, D.G. Ligonier, T for G, Gospel Coalition, Truth for Life,

Passion, Exchange, bang, bang, bang.

Massive groups coming together for preaching and singing.

I mean, when I was in school, this was not happening.

This was not happening.

Exposition.

I mean, 7,000, 20 and 30 something is coming together to your 60 minute sermons woven together

by singing with piano. This is amazing. Something is afoot in our lands and I would like to breathe on it. I would like to pray down the Holy Spirit's blessing on it for you and that you would believe that God might be up to

something unusual that those who take exposition seriously are are being

blessed today in various ways around the world and of course you go outside

the Western world amazing things are happening so I don't know I't predict. I'm not given to saying this is where

God's going in what happens in history except long term.
