I'm off to the airport and headed to Chicago for the 2008 Following Christ Conference. I will be living out the final hours of the year with some great thinkers, inventors, artists, believers and friends. Stay tuned to the blog as I'm hoping to post regularly throughout the upcoming week, and please pray for the band and myself as we seek to lead others into the worship of the living God.
The theme of the conference is human flourishing. This idea is so full of possibilities and I am interested to hear how different people approach the topic. One of the places I go when thinking about human flourishing is Psalm 92...
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High,
proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to
the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you
make me glad by your deeds, LORD; I sing for joy at what your hands
have done. How great are your works, LORD, how profound your thoughts!
Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand, that though the
wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be
destroyed forever. But you, LORD, are forever exalted. For surely your
enemies, LORD, surely your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be
scattered. You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; fine oils
have been poured on me. My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes. The righteous will
flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of
our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh
and green, proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there
is no wickedness in him."
