Enjoy commitment
Hold on, hold fast, be faithful… No matter in what special ways God speaks to you. No matter how little you understand the other person from time to time. Still, God has put you together.
You know how hard that is? We do, too! “Teach them to obey” takes time… but there is no other way: You can only experience the full beauty of God at work in your neighbor by again and again watching, encouraging, exhorting, carrying. No conference could ever replace that.
But a conference can show you people who have been walking together for 20, 7, 2… years. You get the chance to learn from their mistakes and to see the unity that is possible despite all difference. Maybe afterwards you will have an idea of who you want to be walking along side with in the coming years.
