Real Challenges at REAL LIFE


REAL LIFE started this week. For those unfamiliar with it, Real Life is the annual student conference held at First Baptist Church of Bridge City. Over two hundred area students were present, of many denominations and ages. As always, the teaching and music were wonderful, but this year's speaker, Mike Satterfield, laid down some unique challenges that spoke to many hearts, mine included.

"Revival will begin with the men of the church," Mike said, his voice strong with urgency. He then called for the men eighteen and older to walk to the altar so that we could pray for them. In response, the men who were present were humbled, many moved to tears, and so were the rest of us. I knew then that we were in for a blessed week, one filled with choices and challenges--hopefully that will leave us with fresh convictions for the coming year.
